THE 2001 SPORT LINE: KATANA, TL1000S, SV650, SV650S

Suzuki Katanas have long been known as motorcycles with the right combination of performance and value. A Katana combines sport-bike responsiveness with an ample amount of comfort that a motorcyclist needs for a weekday commute, or a weekend pleasure ride. Look at a Katana and you'll see handlebars and footpegs that place the rider in a comfortable upright position, and a contoured seat that helps the rider stay focused on the ride. If you prefer the same level of comfort and versatility, but with V-twin performance there's the compact SV650, new SV650S and sport-oriented TL1000S. Both of these streetwise, 90° V-twin powered machines offer plenty of value with unmistakable V-twin sound and feel.

TL1000S

There's something about the loping gait, the sound and instant throttle response of a booming V-twin motorcycle. The Suzuki TL1000S combines all the visceral appeal of a traditional large-displacement V-twin with the latest sport-performance technology.

The big bore, short stroke engine was designed to be narrower, shorter and lighter than traditional V-twin motors, with the cylinders positioned in a 90o V, downdraft cylinder heads with four valves per cylinder, double overhead cams and liquid cooling. Suzuki Ram Air Direct (SRAD) induction, two-stage electronic fuel injection and a digital engine management system provide instant throttle response.

The TL1000S also has a beautiful aluminum truss frame, which offers outstanding torsional rigidity, and a rotary damper rear suspension system which utilizes separate linkage systems for the damper and spring. With all of these features and more, the TL1000S is clearly a V-twin perfomance bargain.
