The Suzuki Katana is a model of street motorcycle produced by Japanese automaker Suzuki since 1981. It was designed by Target Design of Germany, based upon the Katana sword. The original model was a muscular, angular bike powered by an air-cooled, four-cylinder engine and was targeted at a younger audience. The latest version of the Katana, released in 2019 and bringing the model's design into the modern age, is powered by a liquid-cooled engine and features an aggressive, angular look inspired by the original.
