A black one and some 80/20 tires on it, Mad Max attitude in spades. Now i want one :) Imagine in 10-or-so years, when people are going to put a turbo on those headers of the used and abused ones - it will be glorious !
Saw the review.. Bought a new Bike for sweeties... Rode it for 150 miles... Reran the review... you nailed it, far more peceptive and professional than enyone else out there by a mile....
I had an original Katana and this one looks ok and seems to go well. Would have liked to see a TFT replica of the original clocks, they were gorgeous. 8/10 fair comment, don't like the pipe or the numberplate hanger tho.
Just come up as a suggested view. Nice review, just subbed. I got to ride it last week (thankfully for me in the dry) so it was good to see how it behaved in the wet 🖒
My first bike that i rode, learn n first slide fall was a suzuki RC 80 (1980's production). GSX 750 is one of my dream bike that i probably won't ever own (even if i could afford it the tax in my country for big CC bike is crazy). Heard of a katana bike but this video is the first time i've seen how it look. Interesting but not my cup of tea. This year i found Suburban Delinquent channel n his fav bike is GSX 750, i'm that type of a rider like him. Beat the living shit of my own bike, never had a bike thats not yellowing on the exhaust pipe 😂 .. anyway, your video reminds me of that bike n that memory somehow haha 😂
Please upload more if possible, I did not even know who this was in my subs box lol ;) Caffeine and Machine looks great, seen it on another channel quite a few times. I will visit it for sure if I get over that way.
I'm six feet tall and about 190 lbs and have been a daily rider in LA for nearly four decades and have owned just over 30 bikes, so I've ridden and seen everything on two wheels, and that one disappointing side effect with modern sport motorcycle manufacturers in their never-ending quest to reduce weight is to make their bikes smaller and smaller. Aesthetically speaking this makes an average-size male look a bit like a clown atop a tiny clown car in the circus. When you see a smaller, even petite-sized person on a modern sports-oriented bike like this, bike and rider look perfectly balanced. I currently own an old FZ1 and a big K1200R, but even on the BMW, I look too big. Sort of a superficial complaint, sure, but who here doesn't buy a bike with its looks playing a significant part in that purchase?
Hmmm, the new Katana. More just a styling exercise for me, think I would rather take the standard GSX. Retro sells big these days though so will probably be popular.
Lovely bike, lovely riding, lovely review, lovely reviewer, and I still love your Japanese accent. LOL. Oh BTW, subbed and hit the bell, and thumbs up. I'm new to motovlogging, but riding a very long time, and made a vid about recently finding out I'm part British if you care to watch it you can let me know what you think. Ride safe. Keep up the good work.
Another good informative video Kate, love the opening blooper outtake (think you should do a blooper reel, i'm sure you and Jen will hae enough between you). Love the reference to being pampered and a blagger not a reporter. Keep up the good down to earth reviews up.
I like this Suzuki Katana it looks nice I think. If I had a bike license I would probably buy one of these , riding positions looks comfortable which I would need as I suffer with back problems. It would have a tail tidy fitted as that looks horrible the number plate on the swing arm lol 😊
Hi Kate, This is the first time I've seen one of your videos. I am in a Hamlet dilemma: I would like to buy the katana, returning my Kawasaki z900rs and I am afraid of doing nonsense. In the sense that mine one has 100Nm of torque against 108 of the katana, but at 6500 rpm against 9500. Furthermore my bike , with the right tires, leans up to the footpegs and allows me a comfortable ride and with the torso erect from the top of my 185 cm. So, I really like the katana but I'm afraid to trade my eyes for the tail. Have you tried the z900rs? Could you give me a comparative opinion? Thanks a lot and congratulations for the channel. Ps: without subtitles I understand 80% of what you say, but I love the musicality of your voice.
Nice review 👍 I had the original one and I really like the look of this. Is it enough of a departure from the GSXS1000? and have they smoothed that throttle response enough?
There are reviews that it is a bit jerky and throttle snatchy below 30mph...Was it stable while turning on bumpy tarmac? How woult it fare in urban traffic and everyday commuting use?
I haven't really ridden my burgman in the rain yet. Just 300 miles on it so far. Used to ride in the rain a lot when I went to school in Daytona beach in college.
Haha I saw you the other day at Harley Davidson and said hello. I don’t normally come across as the child catcher from chitty bang bang I was just caught by surprise 😂😂😂👍
Aye! I certainly enjoyed my 90 miles on it! RS is great! Just need a few bits for it. It's in desperate need of an exhaust, but I think I'm holding out for the race akrapovic in June... we shall see!
I quite like the sound of the arroww can altho the akra will squeeze just a little bit more out of the bike. Do a before and after vid of the cans if you get the akra.
@@UsernameKate 7:15 looks like Medium G in the tshirt, everyone's favorite Practical Sportbikes mag Suzuki expert. Also your interviewer off camera sounds familiar, gent I seen in 44 teeth videos? Such high company! :)
@@UsernameKate you seem to be holding on to a motorcycle handlebar like a monkey is holding on to a railing. I was taught that the hands should rest on the motorcycle handlebars between the thumb and forefinger and be as close to the center as possible
Nice weather 😂.I love the bike, i drive a black colored too
"The back end is really really tasty"!!!!!! LOL im sure Dan from MSN is very happy about that.
Love this channel. Non-biased and real life reviews. You and Piston Head Chaz are two of the best.
A black one and some 80/20 tires on it, Mad Max attitude in spades.
Now i want one :)

Thank you!!! 😊
"Love me some rain ...... My skin is waterproof", a true biker.
Yup 👍🏼
I thought it was ugly until I saw one in the flesh. I now think it's a work of art. I wouldn't swap my gsxs1000f for it though.
It’s a good day when I come on here and see new vids from Kate and Itchy Boots.
Thank you! That means alot! 😎😊
I agree! For the price it should definitely come with self canceling indicators, possibly a TFT.
I had an original Katana and this one looks ok and seems to go well. Would have liked to see a TFT replica of the original clocks, they were gorgeous.
8/10 fair comment, don't like the pipe or the numberplate hanger tho.
YES! a TFT dash but original design. Exactly 😍 and I commend you for reaching my scoring 😂 you need a medal LOL
Also, I seriously love those reg hangers 😍
I think it's a lovely bike.Too big for me now though.I was riding bikes when the original ones came out.They were lovely too.
Great review I like your style and voice, different to most other reviews and I’ve got a Katana love it.
Just come up as a suggested view. Nice review, just subbed. I got to ride it last week (thankfully for me in the dry) so it was good to see how it behaved in the wet 🖒
I'd have loved to have ridden it in the dry! Thanks for the sub and feedback 👍 means alot 😊
Make me feel old...i remember the original. I a guy i knew had one. I had a Honda VF1000R.
The sexiest original katana is the Suzuki team classic livery 😱😍
Nice down to earth review. I'm new to usernamekate but you've gained a subscriber 💪🏼
I'm now hoping you've got a 790 Duke review somewhere 🤔
I actually do haha!
Can’t wait for the review of the 2022 version 😁

I wasn't too interested in this bike but you've sparked an interest now 👍

I just like that it is very different looking to what's currently available on the market but is a very capable bike :)
Good review, all questions answered, Mossy ( think it was him) gave you a good interrogation 🤣, the weather looked pants!!
Thank you! Haha mossy is ace! You can tell that voice anywhere LOL
Loved this, thank you.... can’t wait to get it in Australia
Thank you! When do you get it over there? 😊

Omg! I missed this comment! I'll check it out now!
Beautiful bike!! Thanks for the review.

Thanks a lot and congratulations for the channel.

Always good reviews Kate .
Great video nice bike 🇬🇧👍
I love this review, very informative. Also, vloggers are journalist too...it's just new age journalism. Right?
It depends on your perspective haha, I'm just grateful to be there 😊
You must be getting lots of experience riding in the rain.
I'm basically a pro now 😂
Remember the Suzuki DR 650 SER (RSE)
You know Kate, Bob Marley once said "when it rains some people feel the rain while others just get wet."
Cool Video. Good luck with the channel
Nice review 👍
I had the original one and I really like the look of this.
Is it enough of a departure from the GSXS1000? and have they smoothed that throttle response enough?
Rather moist that day, check you out miss professional, good job kate and lol guy interviewing that bloke who knocks about with fagan and baron
Aye, Mossy I believe he is called. A lovely chap! Proper character! And yeah, wasn't a dry one LOL
UsernameKate Motovlogs lol he’s quite funny and it best be dry tomorrow ✊🏻✊🏻✊🏻
There are reviews that it is a bit jerky and throttle snatchy below 30mph...Was it stable while turning on bumpy tarmac? How woult it fare in urban traffic and everyday commuting use?
I didn't really experience that, from memory anyway!
@@UsernameKate thank you.
Tea and cake was at Bourton-on-the-Water.
Thanks! I had no clue! 😊
Nice review , nice bike .
Thank you!
Still love that accent...!!
Nice hair...very hot in your leathers.
No worries in the rain ??
No worries in the rain 👍

David Dickinson is doing bike interviews now?
😂😂😂 I'm sure he'd take that as a compliment LOL
Haha I saw you the other day at Harley Davidson and said hello. I don’t normally come across as the child catcher from chitty bang bang I was just caught by surprise 😂😂😂👍
Haha THE CHILD CATCHER... DEAD. No, it's cool Haha I was caught by surprise as no one ever recognises me 😂
Our Summer, around December 19
Lol accurate
Looks a decent bike. How’s the RS?
Aye! I certainly enjoyed my 90 miles on it! RS is great! Just need a few bits for it. It's in desperate need of an exhaust, but I think I'm holding out for the race akrapovic in June... we shall see!

@@cctv5277 I certainly will 😊

What's the best helmet, to buy tht gives you good visibility, in terrential rain ☔.
Did I just spy with my eye a medium G?
A what now? Lol
@@UsernameKate 7:15 looks like Medium G in the tshirt, everyone's favorite Practical Sportbikes mag Suzuki expert. Also your interviewer off camera sounds familiar, gent I seen in 44 teeth videos? Such high company! :)
Not really my thing but good review 👍🏻
Mossey asking Q’s? Love him
Haha yes, what a chap 👍
12L fuel tank !!! Massive turn off... Ridiculous!
Yea I know what you mean! Especially as on the GSXS 1000, I squeezed 200 miles out a tank!
Tea & cake ???!!!
Makes the world go round.
You're the cutest !!
I guess that would be coffee and donuts here.
Subbed
Obviously very ill informed of the past Katana which means its not very thorough or accurate review 👎
Is that guy in the background 44 teeth friend
Yes! Mossy. What a fella he is! A proper legend.
for me you hold handlebars wrong
Please explain as there's not a right or wrong way. Whatever works works 😊
@@UsernameKate you seem to be holding on to a motorcycle handlebar like a monkey is holding on to a railing. I was taught that the hands should rest on the motorcycle handlebars between the thumb and forefinger and be as close to the center as possible
never heard of a right or wrong way before. Surely if it works for you it works, no?
frt looks good back end just plain crap
