Bike Profile
The Suzuki Katana 1000 is an aggressive looking bike and rides just as aggressive as it looks. It has a low down seating that puts a rider in the 'sweet spot' for deep in twisties and aerodynamic speed on the straight roads. As a sport bike it is invigorating but it has style and class as a stylish looking street bike. One of Suzuki's entries into the super bike kingdom it handles its power with dignity.A 999cc engine holds plenty of power and full stylish fairings give it a graceful cat like look as it pounces on the pavement like a tiger. This bike handles wonderfully and very responsively but a beginner will be easily put off. It can pull off 140 miles per hour before 9,000 rpm and a massive 108 pounds of torque at 8,500. It doesn't handle a dump very well so it should be carefully considered by an inexperienced rider.
