The 1994 Suzuki Katana is a motorcycle that strives to combines style with performance. It has a 599 cc oil/air cooled inline four-stroke, four cylinder engine generating an output of 86 horsepower at 11,000 rpm (revolutions per minute) and a torque of 59.8 N-m at 9600 rpm. The engine incorporates four valves per cylinder. The bore is 62.6 mm and the stroke is 48.7 mm. Transmission is through a six-speed gear box and it has a chain drive. The 110/80-17 front tire and the 140/80-17 rear tire are designed to provide greater traction on all road surfaces.
Along with the pickup and the tremendous speeds this bike is capable of, the safety factor has not been ignored. The weight of the bike is ergonomically distributed to lower the center of gravity, keeping the bike stable on straight roads as well as when cutting curves. Efficient brakes add to the fast and smooth stopping capability, a mandatory requirement for heavy bikes. Both brakes have 2-piston calipers, with the front brake being a dual 285 mm disc brake and the rear one being a single 240 mm disc brake.
The dry weight of the bike is 201 Kilograms and the fuel tank capacity is 5.3 gallons. The seat height as compared to the position of the handle bars makes for a comfortable ride even over long distances. The gear change is smooth as is the steering of the bike. The suspensions of the bike effortlessly absorb impacts even on bumpy roads. |
