Well-sorted handling balance and ride quality
5/5
Excellent
13 views
On the move, I find the Katana quickly to be firmly damped despite the attempts made by Suzuki to slightly soften the bike, but in the suspension, there is enough sophistication for the motorcycle to easily get away with it. Through the stroke, square-edged speed bumps and big undulations in the tarmac can feel harsh, but for the most part, I find the handling balance and ride quality to be well-sorted. It keenly changes direction and when lent over inspires confidence. The tires offer a reasonable degree of feedback and exceptional grip while riding.
