The style is basically the same as Katana 3.0, so there were few surprises... Not only that, but I personally felt that it lacked a bit of the Katana feel....
He's got a small ass....
Specifically, the volume of the buttocks. By the way, the old Katana had a style like this.
Of course, the tire sizes and such are not modern, but if you simply attach the first generation's ass to the new model, you'll see that it's a lot more comfortable....
I'm sorry. Maybe it's because I'm a wanker. In terms of front/rear balance, I like this one better. I think the two-tone seat was also a feature of the Katana, and not only in terms of appearance, but also in terms of practicality, not only for touring, but also for carrying luggage in the rear, I want a certain volume.
The volume of the buttocks is still... Of course, this is the current trend, and it's probably fine for the new Katana, which will be mainly used in Europe, where the curse of the first generation is not so strong.
If I was riding alongside a CB1000R, I wonder if the rear of this... I wonder if you can tell it's a Katana from behind......
It's a GSX-S1000 modified, right?
This may be unavoidable considering the cost of development (maybe it has something to do with the licensing system overseas?) I personally expected that the displacement would be 1,100cc in order to keep the Katana as a symbol.
The information says that the detailed tuning will be different, but it kind of looks like it's only a GSX-S1000 modified.Maybe for SUZUKI, like me."Old man who preferred the shape of the first generation"I'm sure it's a pain in the ass (if so, get a used first generation one), but... There may be some differences in ride quality when you actually ride it, but since it shares the same upright position with bar handlebars, I personally think it would be more appealing to buy a used GSX-S1000, which will become cheaper with the advent of the Katana, if I'm going to pay extra for this shape... So far, my impression is that we are back to square one.
Well, I'm sure we'll have a chance to see some actual pictures in Japan soon, and I'm almost 100% sure that there will be an after-parts exterior kit that will give it the first generation look.
For now, I think it's a good idea to get a used Serow and see how it goes....
