Alright, so today I’m gonna share my deep dive into Suzuki Katana specs. It’s a bike that’s always caught my eye, and I finally decided to dig into all the details.
First things first, I hit the web hard. I mean, I started Googling every possible combination of “Suzuki Katana specs,” “Katana engine,” “Katana dimensions,” you name it. There’s a ton of info out there, but it’s scattered all over the place, so I had to filter through a lot of noise. I visited Suzuki’s official site, of course, and then branched out to motorcycle review sites, forums, and even some random blogs.
Next, I started compiling a spreadsheet. Yeah, I know, sounds boring, but it’s the best way to organize all this data. I made columns for engine type, displacement, horsepower, torque, weight, dimensions, fuel capacity, suspension, brakes… the whole shebang. I was basically copy-pasting specs from every source I could find, making sure to note the source for later verification.
Then came the fun part: comparing the different models. The Katana has been around for a while, and there are variations from different years. I wanted to see what changed over time. I focused on the main things like engine output and weight differences. Turns out, some years had minor tweaks to the suspension or brakes, too.
I did notice that the claimed horsepower figures varied a bit depending on the source. Some sites quoted slightly different numbers. This is where things got tricky. I cross-referenced multiple sources to try to get the most accurate figures. It’s tough to be 100% sure without putting the bike on a dyno, but I aimed for the most consistent numbers I could find.
After the numbers, I dug into the features. What kind of tech does the Katana pack? Traction control? Riding modes? ABS? I wanted to understand how these features affect the riding experience. Watched a bunch of YouTube reviews to get a better idea of how the Katana handles in real-world conditions.
And finally, I put all that info together in a document. I laid out all the key specs, compared the different model years, and summarized the features and technology. It’s not perfect, but it’s a solid overview of the Suzuki Katana’s specs based on all the digging I did.
Was it a bit obsessive? Maybe. But now I have a much better understanding of the Katana, and I’m ready to actually go test ride one!
