Is there a problem with the Suzuki Katana?
Some of us don’t mind working around a little abruptness, but the closed-off Takao Parkway Suzuki chose to have us ride the Katana upon – a tight little second-and-third gear affair and sometimes first – was just the thing to highlight the problem. The problem’s not as severe as it was on the first GSX-S, but it’s still there.
Where was the first Suzuki Katana motorcycle made?
The first Katana represented a radical departure. To its credit, Suzuki stepped outside its comfort zone for design advice, landing upon one Hans Muth and his Target Design studio in Germany.

Where can I Ride a 2020 Suzuki Katana?
For this one, they spared no expense – flying a bunch of us to Tokyo, shooting us via Shinkansen bullet train to the Kyoto Brighton Hotel, and renting out the Arashi Yama Takao Parkway for us to ride up and down upon unmolested for a day.
Which is better Suzuki Katana or Suzuki Parkway?
The Parkway was mostly smooth and we’d need to ride them back to back, but I felt like its suspension had the Katana under slightly better control than the S, and served up a better ride. On paper, Katana and GSX-S suspension is identical. On the road, the Katana feels a bit plusher, better controlled and quicker to change direction.
