Overview

• Dealers confirm a quiet withdrawal after a little over three years of the Katana being sold in India.
• The last recorded ex-showroom price was Rs 13.61 lakh in Delhi.
• Powered by a K5-derived 999cc inline-four making about 150–152 hp and 106 Nm, the bike paired retro ’80s styling with modern electronics.
• The model struggled to find buyers and was often offered with large discounts, with Honda’s CB1000 Hornet remaining the segment alternative.
• Suzuki’s big-bike lineup locally now leans on the GSX-8R and V-Strom 800DE parallel twins alongside the Hayabusa, with no confirmation on a GSX-R1000R India return.
