FINALLY !! The perfect beginner bike !!! :laughing:

I love the phrase "All purpose bike" WTF? What purpose does that thing serve? Hell, I have a 50bhp motorcycle that keeps up w/ and passes highway traffic all the time. It carries luggage, a passenger, corners reasonably and ... oh never mind.

... it probably gets worse gas mileage than my volkswagen :roll:

The styling department has leaned heavily on the beautiful old Katana design. At least they could call it a Katana instead of the "stratosphere".

I doubt Suzuki will produce this bike, but if they do, we will never see it in North America.

It does look like the original Katana..... one of the ugliest bikes made to my eye. But this thing looks better than the original..... and I would love to take that engine for a test ride.
