    Return of Katana

    It may not be a Buell, but man I think this homage to the original Katana looks amazing! I may be rethinking my next bike purchase.

    I had a 89 Katana 600 and did some work to it. It was pretty quick. This new one not really a fan of it. They used to be full fairing bike and this one not. But to each is own. Maybe when it come out to dealers and I see it first hand I might have a change of heart.

    I remember when the generation of the Katana that you had came out in 1988 as Suzuki's response to the 1987 Honda Hurricane. Both great bikes (I owned a Hurricane in 1987 and had the chance to ride a 750 Katana in the early 90s). But, the Katana that I always loved was the 1/2 fairing original from 1982 that this one pays homage to. It certainly wasn't for everyone, but I thought the (for the time) futuristic styling was so cool.
