Based on the response, these may be the new variants of the upcoming Suzuki Katana. The red specially looks very interesting…
Coronavirus pandemic has led to the cancellation of the Tokyo and Osaka motor shows which were two of the main events where makers revealed their upcoming products. On the backdrop of this, Suzuki has considered it opportune to go ahead with their own mini-events.
In a latest, it has showcased two new versions of Katana in a virtual show. The two versions are – Matte Black and Candy Red. The red colored Katana is the more eye-catching version with red colored body, similar colored alloys and golden colored upside down front forks as well as the handlebar. The black colored model also follows a similar color theme with black as the base shade.
Both the versions look fresh and may become Suzuki’s upcoming models. There is a survey on the website and Suzuki appears to be gauging public response on these. However, as it appears there has been no official confirmation that these colors will go to production!
