2022 Suzuki Katana first look - & it looks fab!
News has broken of an updated 2022 Suzuki Katana, a radical retro-inspired sportbike that harkens back to the original 1982 model. The new model receives revisions to its engine platform, electronic rider aids suite, and aesthetic details among other things.
The heart of the modern-day Katana is a 999cc inline-four engine, which is an evolution of the legendary GSX-R1000 K5 powerplant. For 2022, it follows the updates made to the new GSX-S1000, meaning it gets new intake and exhaust camshafts, valve springs, a 4-into-2-into-1 exhaust system, and airbox for improved efficiency. The bonus is a claimed 2 hp increase with broader midrange power delivery. For reference, the last Katana we ran on the in-house Cycle World dyno produced 139.6 hp at 10,100 rpm and 76.3 pound-feet of torque at 9,200 rpm.
What a fantastic looking bike! That's another one to watch out for @ MCL Birmingham next month - gonna be a busy show!

The 51 Most Iconic Motorcycles of All Time - according to gearpatrol.com
They are equal parts simple and complex, a mechanical interpretation of form meeting function with attitude to spare. Whether it’s chrome glimmering in the sun, the artful engineering behind a single-sided swingarm or their ability to outrun just about anything, motorcycles are more than just simple transportation. They strangle attention. Ride one down the street and watch as babies point and smile mid-whimper, dogs chase joyfully, angsty teens fight the curling in the corners of their mouths, old biker types in leather nod with supreme comprehension.
There are countless combinations of weapons-grade speed, sex, beauty, design and freedom found between two tires, sure - but these fifty-one, specifically, are the icons hand-picked by Gear Patrol as our favourites of all time.
Conspicuous by their absence though: Yamaha RD350LC, Suzuki GSX1100S Katana, Kawasaki GPZ900R.
