From a press release issued by Suzuki Motor of America, Inc.:

The original Katana 1100, introduced in 1981, combined in-line four cylinder big-bore sportbike performance with never-seen before styling that set a new benchmark in motorcycle aesthetics. Now paying tribute to that original breathtaking look, the new KATANA combines modern, state of the art performance with a retro, yet completely contemporary stance that harkens back to the original. Fans of the first model as well as younger riders who appreciate daring design will be drawn to this new KATANA. Coming as a 2020 model, the KATANA will be available in 2019.

This is not a retro-styling exercise but a modern performance motorcycle that is destined to be as revolutionary as the original KATANA. Of course, its name comes from the sleek and beautifully crafted Japanese sword known as a katana. Inspired by the same artisan spirit demonstrated by Japanese swordsmiths, Suzuki’s development team tested and tuned each component until they were satisfied the KATANA would deliver the optimal balance of power, comfort and control.

At the heart of the KATANA’s performance is a new version of the championship winning long-stroke GSX-R1000 engine. Heading out on the road, riders will immediately appreciate the KATANA’s agility and rider-friendly nature. Manoeuvring its compact, lightweight chassis around bends in stills confidence and brings pure pleasure. The seat and optimized riding position are designed to enhance controllability and keep riders comfortable on longer outings so they will want to ride the KATANA all day long. With the 2020 KATANA, Suzuki repeats and rewrites history at the same time.
