Webike's Opinion

Here is a "SUZUKI KATANA" custom by Webike community user "Nin-nin". The owner had admired the KATANA since high school and when the third-generation model was unveiled at EICMA, his KATANA fever reignited. He quickly obtained a large motorcycle license and immediately made his order. The features he appreciates the most are how easy it is to ride at low speeds and how incredibly fast it accelerates, to the point where it could quickly lead to a license suspension. In the local city where he lives, this bike model is a rare sight, and this scarcity adds to its appeal.

When it comes to modifying the bike's exhaust, swapping it out can lead to improvements in torque, weight reduction, and overall performance. The owner decided to give the Yoshimura Square Exhaust a try. Although he was hesitant to replace the stock exhaust because he initially liked the sound, the new setup provided a richer, more balanced sound quality that he is very satisfied with.

Beneath the exhaust is a shining gold YOSHIMURA Rear Stand Bracket with beautiful anodized finish. The gold theme continues with an aluminum billet adjustable lever set, K-FACTORY Front Axle Sliders, and a BABYFACE Timing Hole Plug, all adding accent colors to the red and black bike. However, the owner notes that he has a desire to keep the bike in just red and black, so he might gradually adjust the color scheme over time. The bike's wheels sport silver AXXL Rim Stickers as well as H.yalu Rim Stickers, adding a vibrant touch that enhances the overall sporty look and gives the bike a powerful feel.
