Suzuki ended the nineteen seventies in a strong position. The GS1000 maintained its position as one of the most desirable machines in its class and had quickly established itself as the ultimate muscle-bike, however, Suzuki recognised that their rivals would challenge their position in the market. As a consequence Suzuki commissioned Target Design of Germany, to evolve a design that would maintain the company's position at the head of the superbike field. First seen by the public at the 1980 Cologne Show as a concept, the design was to be regarded as one of the landmark machines in motorcycle history. The Katana featured a half-fairing, fuel tank and seat unit designed to combine the motorcycle and rider into one aerodynamically efficient package.
This Suzuki Katana has formed part of a private collection. Purchased by the vendor a few years ago in its original condition, it was imported from Switzerland in 2018 and all duties paid. Running earlier this year, it will need light recommissioning before use. It comes complete with a current V5C and other DVLA paperwork.
