The new Katana features a 999-cm3 powertrain. The company said that bike's name is derived from the legendary Japanese sword Katana. "The epitome of fine craftsmanship and pure functional beauty. Design inspiration for the original 1981 Suzuki KATANA came from the famed Japanese sword of the same name," the website said.

The bikes come with Suzuki Intelligent Ride System (SIRS) which comes with a variety of advanced electronic control systems. Also, a custom-designed ignition key sporting the KATANA logo on the grip end adds a luxurious touch that instills greater pride of ownership.

Suzuki Motorcycle India Managing Director Satoshi Uchida said in a statement that "The Katan reflects Suzuki's ongoing commitment to fine craftsmanship and its willingness to sweat every detail to get them right. The launch is a part of our strategy to solidify our big bike portfolio in the country," PTI reported.

The company received a lot of queries from motorcycle enthusiasts after showcasing the bike in the last auto expo, he noted.

"It is basis the positive feedback of our potential customers that we decided to introduce the Katana in India. We are confident that the bike will be able to make its own cult following in India too," Uchida stated.
