While the Suzuki Katana met expectations for a liter-class Japanese sport-naked motorcycle, sales performance was consistently weak. The motorcycle often came with significant discounts across the country. Currently, the Hayabusa stands as the sole four-cylinder option from Suzuki. For those not interested in the flagship Busa, the V-Strom 800 DE or GSX-8R, both powered by a 776cc parallel-twin engine, are the available choices.
