2019 Suzuki Katana
Suzuki have just launched the new Katana, based very closely on the existing GSX-S1000 with the same chassis, engine, exhaust, suspension and brakes.
Unfortunately its a bit heavier than the GSX-S1000 at 2015KG with a smaller fuel tank at 12L. It has a new dash and improved throttle control (but how is not yet clear).
In the pictures the code for the Katana seems to be GSX-S1000s/m and the colour code is YMD, Metallic Mystic Silver
The seat height is also higher at 825mm (GSX-S750 820mm, GSX-S1000 810mm)
