For me the new Katana sits in a strange class of bike that only really has one use – the B-road blast on a sunny weekend and not much more. The tiddly 12-litre tank means a maximum of about 120-miles between fuel stops – the lack of grab rails and luggage points also put paid to any serious distance work. For me the Katana is like retro styled café racer with 150bhp – and what’s not to like about that?
