Stuff like Kawasaki’s Z900RS, Triumph’s various classic twins and the Royal Enfield 650 twins are selling like disposable facemasks, and the market has loved a retro design for a good few years now. So a modern retro version seemed like an open goal for Suzuki, especially nowadays. It would have looked bang up-to-date had it been launched in 2001 or even 2021, instead of 1981. But its sharp, clean design, plus the ultra-cool name (taken from a Japanese samurai sword), lifted it above the crowd. It was a big-boned, high-performance superbike from the dinosaur era of massive air-cooled engines, twin-shock rear suspension and steel cradle frames. It’s a perfect storm situation – the original 1980s Katana is one of the most evocative designs ever, with a big place in the heart of any biker born (like me) in the 1970s. The Suzuki Katana has been perhaps the most obvious case in recent years for me. And while its impacts in this line of work – testing motorbikes – are far, far less important, it’s still something we strive against. It can lead to unfairness at work, miscarriages of justice, or even worse crimes.
