The new Katana takes styling cues from the original machine but under the skin the new version is basically the popular GSX-S1000F. That means it’s got the lightweight, twin-spar aluminium frame, while the inline four-cylinder engine is the famed powerplant that began life in the legendary GSX-R1000 K5. It’s been brought bang up to date so has plenty of torque and peak power of around 150bhp at 10,000rpm. This bike is expected to arrive in UK dealerships in spring 2019 and we reckon it will be priced around £11,500.
