SUZUKIGSX-750F Katana 2001 - 2002

　　In 2002, Suzuki launched the GSX-750F Katana, a street motorcycle that was a true, no-frills sport bike with excellent all-rounder capabilities. The model was suited for weekday commuting as it packed great comfort while retaining enough of its sporty nature for canyon fun and more aggressive riding.

　　Still, the big Katana was also a great choice for longer hauls with its optional equipment and accessory such as the luggage system and its fairing and windscreen that offered good protection against the elements.

　　Not exactly a lightweight bike, the 2002 Suzuki GSX-750F Katana was, however, a nice ride as its air/oil-cooled in-line four-cylinder engine produced enough hp. With added light aluminum wheels and powerful triple-disc brakes for a precise feel around the bends, the model was classified as an affordable bike that offered plenty of bang for the buck.

　　The chassis was dressed in a compact and aerodynamic fairing that offered a comfortable, sporting ride position and featured an attractive sporting look with its twin headlights mounted on the front cowl. It also packed a large capacity fuel tank, aluminum passenger grab bar, and teardrop-shaped rearview mirrors.

　　In the power department, the bike featured a 748cc four-stroke DOHC engine that delivered an output power of 92 hp at 10,500 rpm and 66 Nm (48 lb-ft) of torque at 8,500 rpm. With the rear wheel spun by a six-speed manual transmission and a dry weight of 211 kg (465 lbs), the bike reached a top speed of 230 kph (143 mph).
