Suzuki has announced its attendance at the MK Bike Show, to be held at Stadium MK on 23 June, where the manufacturer will be showcasing its newly-launched KATANA.
The original KATANA rocked the motorcycling world when it was launched in 1981, with futuristic, stand-out styling. The new-for-2019 KATANA draws inspiration from the legendary 80s machine, with “aggressive, Samurai sword-inspired lines”, but uses a modern 150hp engine.
Suzuki – shirt sponsors of the MK Dons football club and with its UK head office based in Milton Keynes – will display the groundbreaking new KATANA alongside the rest of its model lineup. The brand’s illustrious heritage will be highlighted thanks to Kevin Schwantz’s 1993 World Championship-winning RGV500, and the original GSX-R750F from 1985, while its off-road capabilities will be demonstrated by its RM-Z450 motocross machine and KingQuad ATV.
There will also be the opportunity for visitors to book and test ride a number of bikes from Suzuki’s product range on the day – so long as they can provide a valid licence, National Insurance number, and riding kit – while those without a licence can enjoy a taster session using Suzuki’s GSX-S125 machines, with an experienced instructor on-hand to teach the basics.
Suzuki can be found on stand 145 on the day. For more information on the MK Bike Show, click here.
