1983 Suzuki Katana 1100 Pictures
The 1983 Suzuki Katana's bizarre styling set new standards for strangeness in motorcycles, from its half-moon front fender to its dual tone seat. But is was hardly "all show no go," as the 1100-cc four featured double overhead cams and four valves per cylinder.Seats were divided; one color on the front half, another color at the rear. |
Handling was aided by a stiff suspension with antidive forks. |
The half-moon fenders helped create the Katana's unique, modern look. |
The Katana integrated its speedometer and tachometer into a single gauge pod. |
