Suzuki GSX250S (Katana)

Suzuki GSX250S (Katana)



This bike has been sitting underneath Route 246 for at least four years. It was there when I first came to Japan, and was mostly intact at that time. As you can see, since then some bits have gone missing. It's a bit sad every time I pass by. I'm surprised it hasn't been shifted by thieves or the local authorities.

This is the 250 cc model of the iconic Katana. This model was built for two years only, and was sold only in Japan. Apparently it sold very well, despite being released ten years after the original 1100 cc German designed classic. Suzuki claimed the inline four was capable of 29 kW at 13,500 RPM.
