Suzuki’s returning 2020 lineup sees – wait for it – new colors! Although the V-Strom 650XT Adventure is kinda newish. However, what’s interesting here are the bikes not mentioned. There’s no GSX-S1000/S1000F, though they were certified for 2020 by CARB. Unless there’s an update to come, the Katana might be completely replacing it. The fact they still got certified may mean it was a late decision.
Also, there’s no Boulevard C90, C90T, M90, M50 or S40. Meaning there’s a much smaller cruiser lineup, but that’s not totally surprising considering Yamaha and Honda have been doing similar in recent years.
Begin press release:
After the dramatic and cutting edge unveiling that enthralled the industry during the International Motorcycle Shows (IMS) in Long Beach and New York, enthusiasts everywhere have been eager for details about the U.S. arrival of the new KATANA. Today, Suzuki Motor of America, Inc. (SMAI) is excited to announce the new 2020 KATANA will officially arrive on American soil in two color schemes, adding a new Solid Black along with the Metallic Mystic Silver color that matches the look of the original 1982 version, and will be available in dealers this November at a price of $13,499.
Paying tribute to the original Katana while embracing its Japanese culture with key styling cues, the new KATANA combines its breathtaking look with modern, liter-class sportbike performance and a neo-retro flair that is ready to make its mark on the streets. This stunning motorcycle will attract a variety of riders, especially those who value owning a unique motorcycle that delivers an exciting riding experience and to seasoned riders who fondly remember the original Katana and will want their new KATANA ride linked to history.
In addition to the return of an icon, Suzuki also debuts a new V-Strom 650XT Adventure model for 2020 that comes equipped with high-quality, adventure-ready accessories. Plus, other 2020 carryover Street, Sport, Cruiser, DualSport, and Scooter models return with new colors and graphics to bring style along on every Suzuki ride.
The KATANA
Through its products, Suzuki has embraced its Japanese heritage and has found opportunities to celebrate beautiful, unique aspects of its society and nature. The new KATANA faithfully honors that commitment while finding a bold new expression for Suzuki technology and styling. The KATANA blends the proven performance of a long-stroke GSX-R1000 engine, the solid stability of the GSX-S1000 chassis, and an ergonomically comfortable riding position. The KATANA’s dramatic bodywork rests upon a twin-spar, aluminum alloy frame, and Superbike- type braced swingarm that provides great road-holding performance.
