They stopped making the Katana in the early 2000's. The second generation katana was actually quite a different bike than the initial Katana Gsx1100. The new katana was released in 2020 in the US, probably earlier in EU/UK. Seems like they are hit and miss with them TBH. They have a 2020, but I've never seen a 2021, 2022, or 2023 in the states. The current 2024 edition is actually the 2023 European spec and from what I gather is limited production. Brand new it retails around $14k. I remember the type Katana you had man. I'll be honest with you and in my opinion it was a soft GSXR, detuned and rounded edges. That was a pretty crappy thing for that dude to say, must be insecure 😅😅

My very first motorcycle was a 1993 katana 600 red for $3,000. It was a great beginner bike for me! Moved on to an 06 cbr600rr and now 07 gsxr750. Love the videos thank you for the effort and insight!!

I had a 1982 model when they first came out and compared to the rest of the lineup this one looked like a friggin' space ship!

It's sounding wicked bro. I love it!! Great job Chris.

Katana has come a long way. That bike looks clean and sounds even better with the Brocks on there. 👍🏿

Honestly it seems very similar to my Bandit 1250S (other than the exhaust servo) it has many of the same restrictions and fixes. The lighter weight and updated suspension probably give it considerable edge, it's really only slightly down on torque in comparison but then nearly 30HP ahead. As far as touring goes, it just needs a windscreen or you'll be blown around a lot. I'd really like to get my hands on one!

The Katana has been on my Radar as well as the GSXS 1K for a couple years, and I'm ready to get ready for spring. I might just ride up there, or trailer the bike maybe. I'm down in GA, so not far.

I love the sound💪🏽

That's a sharp bike but that Suzy badge is HUGE. Another great Mafia vid.

I love the new Katana and waiting to see the latest model with all the updates the GSXS 1000 got. Love Brock’s exhaust but I think that one is way too loud. Needs a longer can to take it down a bit and it may even pick up more power

There's a couple problems with the title. No naked bikes are great sport bikes due to wind bashing you around past 130kph. (A sport rider is often well over this) The second problem re touring on this bike is the 12L fuel tank... The gsxs1000 has a 17L tank as most 1000s do. I found 200kms was really as good as I got on the open road. Great bike to ride with a very usable motor etc. I always found the throttle to be very smooth at all rpm coming on and off the throttle. I only mentioned that due to what was in this video.

Hi Chris, that Katana looks pretty good. I had one of the first 1100cc Katan's when they first came out. Dragged it stock standard and did a 9:94. I smashed my legs up in a big off and now ride a Boulevard as my legs don't bend enough to get on sports bikes. But do you have a flash card I can buy for the Boulevard as the air filter and exhaust has been changed. It's doing the full on full off stuff. I saw you were doing a Boulevard awhile ago and solved that problem. Please can you send me how to get and pay for the flash card or whatever it's called. Thank you Chris.

Thanks for the video! Did I miss it? I did not hear why the sprockets were changed? Less RPM at highway speeds, better acceleration, more top speed???

Should have dyno it in stock form. Should of showed the air box when finished. Camera was good and sound.

Dang i would have like to have known how much it did before you installed the exhaust, filter and opened up the air box :(

audio is a little rough but the video looks great. not sure what you use to edit your videos but some echo reduction would help

Before you mentioned the new camera/mic I noticed at the beginning that it kinda sounds like your talking through a coffee can, or possibly a mono sound.I'm listening on a very high end home theater/quadraphonic system so these things are very noticeable.

I need to get back out to Cacalac. Just so damn far...I want the Dyno tune!!

the baseline pull should have been done with the stock exhaust in my opinion for those people who would get an aftermarket exhaust to improve the bike. Like this, it is for the people who get the exhaust for the sound no matter what the improvement to stock would be, mainly just to have the bike running properly with the new blink. I never see a dyno of the stock exhaust as baseline pull, mostly explained with time constrains. Is it possible that the gains would not be that dramatic?

Comment on video/audio quality: There is some room reflection in the audio, it's not a huge deal but maybe a lav mic might isolate your voice a bit better and get less of that echo off the walls, just had a little google and rode make a "RODE wireless go 2", so you could wear a lav mic that is connected to the gopro wirelessly and doing it like that would be easier than having to sync audio from a separate device for every video, should come out of the camera just the same, video with audio.

@johncasteel1780

Жыл бұрын

I have an early Gen 3. Yes, it is a great sports-tourer. Alas, it just doesn't have the same potential for speed and power. The mildly tuned engine (relativity low compression pistons and mild cams) is designed to run on 87 octane fuel. It will also run quite happily on the 85 octane gas you find quite often when you are off the beaten path Out West (like Colorado and Wyoming). The engine is not peaky at all. It makes over 80 lb-ft of torque from 3500 rpm to 8000 rpm. If someone made them, you could fit higher compression pistons, hotter cams, and a better flowing exhaust; but the big limitation to getting more power out of the engine is, I think, the airbox. The airbox shares the under-seat space with the ABS. There is just not a lot of room under there.

Not interested in making noise as i use this bike on daily basis/ have neighbours/ am mature rider. However removing certain factory limitations whilst keeping the stock cat in the pipe might be good

Hey can you do the 2022 Suzuki GSX-S1000GT

All that tech and no cruise! Come on Suzuki. It would be a major sport touring contendor, give it cruise.

Anyone know why when dynoing bikes you have to Rev it out then do a pull? So curious

This is the first I've seen of the new gen Katanas. It's definitely a massive improvement over the old ones...unlike the audio quality of your new camera. Video quality looks fine except maybe when you showed they dyno tv, it seemed to struggle more with the lcd tv. But maybe I only noticed it more because you mentioned the new camera so I was looking for stuff like that, but audio was definitely not as good.

Also, was it absolutely mandatory to pull the radiator out of the way to get the Brocks exhaust system on? And I don't believe you really showed us the final numbers.

something that I always think about when I see tunings like this. It looks amazing, free extra power seemingly out of nowhere... but is it? will the fuel consumption increase after the tune? will the engine life (or other parts) be shorter? And those restrictions, I doubt the engineers just put them there willy nilly. Was it for emission purposes ? to protect some components maybe ? I am not bashing on tuning here, just trying to understand. And this might be especially valid for suzuki since they are known for polishing to annoyance their products.

@IndyMotoRider

Жыл бұрын

The majority of restrictions are for emissions, noise and to a lesser degree, fuel economy. You are not getting free power from nowhere. It's power that was already there, but restricted by air flow and factory ECU settings.

Roughly the same amount of hp as mt10, interesting. I just picked up a mt10 a couple weeks ago, they are fun but what gas GUZZLING pigs. I'll bet anything this zuk gets 10-15mpg better than mt10. Great content as always Chris 👏

@exothermal.sprocket

Жыл бұрын

They do. MT about 30-32 mpg, this about 41 mpg or better. Similar power. Same story with a V4 engine or a inline-4-crossplane. There's something about the uneven firing interval 4-bangers that suck gas. I'm guessing it has something to do with the fact the intake pulse waves pounding back and forth in the airbox on the uneven firing engines are making intake air flow much less efficient for the same horsepower output. But that's a theory based on the medium grade knowledge I have of engines. I know the whole point of uneven firing intervals is to change the traction dynamic at the wheel (MotoGP). The difference between conventional even firing and these crossplane (inline or V, doesn't matter) engines is the torque composite output between combustion and inertia intervals of the crankshaft.
