- Neo retro isn't all round headlights and cafe racers. The Suzuki Katana, just as its name suggests, is not all about soft and and classical lines. Instead, you have a fire-breathing inline four cylinder motor paired with 90s styling that is impossible not to notice. Jinno's taking it out for a review on this episode of Beyond the Ride, find out if this liter bike is going to be your next big purchase.

The Katana used to be called "ugly".. Even Ryan of Fortnine didn't like the geometry of he old versions this bike.. But today, it is one of the best looking bikes in my opinion.. A humble beast..
For me the old katana , the first one, is one of the most beautiful bikes ever made. Also that new version looks stunning to me!
this is beautiful bike.. looks like coming from retro sci-fi ( bladerunner, AKIRA).. I love this version design
The perfect cyberpunk bike for Metro Manila's dystopian streets.
HAHAHA as a city cop i approved this
One hell of a bike. We need more square headlight retro/neo-retro designed bikes.
this is beautiful bike.. looks like coming from retro sci-fi ( bladerunner, AKIRA).. I love this version design
One of the best looking bikes of all time imo. This thing is gonna be a future classic
I love how the digital dash looks. It reminds me of those sci-fi and action animes back in the 90's and early 2000's. Anime lovers would love the shape of this bike

Exactly....stands out snd feels super retro.I hate the new OLED tv looking screens that distract you from actually riding.
One thing different from the Katana is that for the price point, it's still a pretty rudimentary bike compared to other models which are basically computers on wheels. Absolute beauty.
I heard the 2022 model does have bi-directional quickshifters and ride by wire. I understand the previous version had cable actuated stuff which I kinda dig.
One of the best bike reviewers on CZcams. Congrats for your channel. Kind regards from Spain!
I like how the MotoDeal dude was able to admit that how you feel on a bike is important..ie. do you feel cool on the bike. nice to see someone admit what we all know is true. Thanks for review.
All i can say is what a bike, always feel special riding it 🤍
best reviews in my opinion. you show yourself from the side while riding, unlike most reviewers who stick camera on the helmet. Way more informative this way.
that sure has that retro feel with the rectangular headlights and front assembly
Nice review!
Nice video mate!
I really like the new Katana and that engine must be one of the best Suzuki 4-cylinders.
Cheers from Luxembourg!
I love mine, looks amazing, comfortable, agile. Crossed Australia on it. Best bike I've owned
2:51 The Caco Tirona reference 🤣
Best looking naked sports i've seen so far! 💯
More Japanes bikes in the future please 😁✌🏻
awesome review man!!! Regards from Mexico primo!!
I Love that bike. Great review, it's refreshing when someone gives their honest opinion and points out the flaws.
Love your BGM. 90s style
I installed the Rizoma handlebar stub kit on my Katana. Fits perfectly with the retro look and the seating position is more sporty. I love it.
Any photos?
@@nelsonho8327 you can find nice pictures at Rizoma
@@nelsonho8327 it's CZcams, not Facebook...there's a thing called Google
@@timwoll2963 I wouldn't have even answered that stupid question
Underrated streetfighter.
Good information!
Easily the best review I've seen of this bike, great work guys 👏
Only thing is it makes me want this bike even more than what I already do! 😂
Good review, an iconic design for sure . Yeah I grew up in the 80’s lol
It's so gorgeous and definitely has that katana dna.🖤
Good review as always and If your in Philippines can you please review the 2023 Z1000, please? 🥺
Love from India
Nice review. Ganda palagi ng pagkakagawa.
Those things you wish that already updated on their 2022 version except on TFT display, however they put it on their updated V-Strom 1050DE and their new Parallel Twin bikes. I think you should review the GSX-S 1000GT next.
Thats a fine looking bike for sure!
looks like a cyberpunk bike
honestly the headlight of this bike is right in between my love and hate line. But it is definately unique and suzuki
What's that watch your wearing? Great video btw!
Bagay na bagay yung helmet
sa katana 🔥🔥🔥
Present Sir 🙋
In 90's The Suzuki katana was branded as the ugly duckling but when you ride it's a beautiful beast
Starring Jino in mission impossible sequel. Awsome bike.
Crazy that the dash went over your head. Clearly, this was a retro-inspired bike, and the dash follows the aesthetic.
It is pretty futuristic for the 80's
I love the new Katana, allmost as good lookin as the original. Yes, I'm old. #80's
How you liking those Handroids? I bought mine ages ago. And they’ve been sitting on the shelf. Because I found them really bulky feeling.
A modern popup head light version would be nice.
Very nice review sir.., unique talaga. Suzuki engine..alams na. Belong xa sa mga idol ko na engine kawasaki honda suzuki
really a Japanese Classic Looking headlight. sobrang gwapo
THE dash its.... Awesome like colors....Blade runner LOVE it a feel the same things that you said nostalgic .....I want that bike, I need that bike
Yeah, that thing's dope.
suzuki didn't come out with the 2022 version of this thing coz they wanna sell out the old stock here in pinas. they should just sell it at a loss already.
😍😍
Parang motorcycle version nung DMC sa back to the future movie.
Solid katana
Can you review also Gsx s1000 thankyou 😁
I hate tft displays so i actually really appreciate lcd. I would actually pay more for analog if modern bikes had option like that
The perfect cyberpunk bike
Holy smokes! 2:51 hahahaha
If it had a 18l tank I would buy it tomorrow. 12l is RIDICULOUS.
Get one made on the subframe,not difficult
buen día, esta moto es muy bonita pero hay que mejorar la autonomía porque esos 12 litro de capacidad no alcanzan para nada, y también actualizar la pantalla por una nueva TFT de mejor tama;o ...!!!
I was told a long time ago that my '78 GS750E had the engine the '82 was based on. The speedo on mine only goes to 140 so I honestly have no idea what the top speed is. B ut it sure as hell isn't the 125 Suzuki claimed. Like Chrysler and the 426 hemi.
Basically a Suzuki GSX-S950(the budget 1000 in the EU),with a 12litre tank and a styling exercise...hard to justify the price secondhand, as it costs the exact same to get it unrestricted (only 130bhp at the rear wheel) as the 950,and it has a big tank? £8295 for a brand new(preregistration) 950 here, £7999 for a 4yr old Katana with a samurai pack with 2500mls on the clock....worth it,not at that price?
But the old katana has the clip ons
Sayang, wala na Suzuki sa MotoGP. Akala Ko pa naman next year yung Hayabusa 666hrsprs na.
Please review honda cb500x
3:52 I disagree. The dash was designed to look a little bit cyberpunk 80's style. It was not supposed to look like the BMW screen.
I will continue enjoying your video but under slight protest.
"...and Caco Tirona on his prime"
IDL 😂
i didn't know the Katana's body work was Italian designed.....i was going to say, that is Suzuki's best looking bike....what is that, Pininferina?....
the SV-650 takes a more classic design close second, but the Katana has the refined neo-modern look.

Why do you state your height in feet and inches, but your inseam in millimeters?
Lol Dunlop is a very popular tire.
Yes it is, first time I tried them though… that’s actually what I meant
Just like a badass samurai.
fck... Im in love with this bike
Little bitin caught me off guard man hahaha
One of the best looking bikes imo, I would love to buy it but pity they make the fuel tank so small :(. Every ~150km you gotta look for gas station. It do is disqualifying. The old katana had 22 litres! The new one should have at least 17 litres. I don't mind old dash, lack of quick shifter (for me the less and easier electronics the better), just let suzuki make it with bigger fuel tank.
Honestly it's the fuel tank and lack of cruise control that have me looking at other bikes. Trivial? Probably, but I do travel a lot
The new model has cruise control but the tank capacity is still the same obviously
My fabricator would make you a subframe auxiliary tank...cruise is available aftermarket, as is a Q/S!
please make a review of the benelli tnt 600i
you cant say neon retro and expect a screen thats modern. :V its the whole point right?
Try the GSX-S 1000.😉 lower seat, quickshifter, 19 liter tank,..
2024 model is gonna blow up
3:52 Dash
Damn caco tirona in his prime
ung kadena ng Katana maluwag po 2:35 ahahah
badasa bike
That’s one sexy bike😍
It looks like my hero splandor plus
Neo-Retro
Best absurd looking bike ever
12 Liters 😂✌
ニーグリップしたときのプラスチックパーツの安っぽさが買わない理由かな。
レジェンドの質感ではない。
Motor ni mask rider Yan..
I really wanted to like this bike, lots of good deals available. In person I didnt like the fit and finish, bars are too high and it didn’t look like you could put lower ones on, lots of cables etc… just looked too budget. Looked at a cb1000r and in person it was a night and day difference.
How about z900? Or a mt10
@@CrisCraig I also have a z900rs so I didn’t want basically the same platform, mt10 was my next choice, I think the engine is much better on the mt10, but I like the styling much more on the cb, so it came down to form or function, since there weren’t any new mt10’ s available in my area I went with the Honda, but I still wonder if a Yamaha had been available I likely would have went that way.
Rizoma bar conversion
German design, the original.
had one... bought a Brand new 2020 Katana 1000. I had the total BLACK version..... total shit bike. 75 miles on the bike and the clutch disk turned to putty.. literally. put clutch particle all thru the crank case. Suzuki service said I got screwed,, they would NOT fix it... BRAND NEW BIKE. i traded the bike back to the dealer I bought it from, i got a GSX-S750. I now have a GSX-S1000 GT Plus.. MUCH BETTER BIKE.
Very good looking bike, it's a shame they casted the stupid nr plate holder in the swing arm 😢 look like a scooter
Maybe they knew that most of the riders will be using only the front? Why would they use different brand otherwise? 🤣
Really ? ! Sombody who has been riding about 1 year should not be getting on a 150 bhp liter bike.
The Original is and will remain a style icon, this is just a lame excuse by Suzuki to try and cash in on the retro craze with a bike that looks like it fell out the top of the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down to the floor. A shocking abomination that vies for the title of ugliest ever with the B-King, Hondas eleven and any Hardly Going Son ever made....What is that tail end guard number plate all about????
modern classic. That's what it is. Thing of beauty.
looking at the control panel while driving a katana? Not a good idea.
Nice review !
