The Katana 600 is a rider's machine. And if
you're an enthusiast who loves all kinds of roads,
then you know that's just about the highest com-
pliment we can pay a sport bike. The Katana 600
is a multi-dimensional motorcycle, engineered to
perform exceptionally well in a wide variety of
conditions. In short, no matter what kind of riding
you're in the mood for, it's ready and able to
oblige.
Looking to carve up a canyon road? No
problem. The high-performance, 16-valve engine
is derived from the original, legendary GSX-R
powerplant. The direct air intake system and
Slingshot carburetors help produce incredibly
crisp throttle response. The exclusive Suzuki
Advanced Cooling System (SACSTM) combines
air and oil cooling to help the engine dissipate
heat with maximum efficiency for hour after hour
of high-performance fun, even when the ther-
mometer hits triple digits.
Or maybe you have a weekend of sport-tour-
ing planned. The Katana 600 makes a perfect
traveling companion. Its deeply padded seat and
spacious, comfortable riding position treats the
rider to day-long riding comfort. Advanced sus-
pension systems front and rear - including rigid
41mm forks and a link-type rear suspension
with adjustable rebound damping - provide plush
action and smooth response. Of course, if you're
a true sport enthusiast, you'll probably manage
to find some twisty roads even when you're out
sport-touring. And that's where a Katana 600
really shines. The strong, light and rigid perime-
ter-style frame allows precise responsiveness in
hairpin turns, sweeping curves and any other
road you're apt to find. And wherever your travels
take you, you're going to appreciate a Katana's
powerful braking system. The triple disc brakes,
complete with floating front discs and twin-piston
calipers, provide outstanding stopping capabili-
ties.
As if the Katana 600 doesn't have enough
going for it, wait until you check out the price. The
Katana 600 may be the most value-priced sport
bike on the market today.
