It has been a while since we have heard
anything from Suzuki motorcycles in Malaysia but for our riding friends Down
Under, Suzuki Australia has issued the Shogun and Samurai accessory packs for
the 2020 Suzuki Katana. Priced at AUD$ 1,499 for the Shogun pack and
AUD$ 595 for the Samurai, these accessory packs add a functional
“dress up” touch to the Katana.
The pricier Shogun pack has more
components, naturally, and carbon-fibre features prominently. The lightweight
material is used to give a sporty touch to the front fender and clutch cover as
well as the starter and alternator covers.
In addition, the Shogun pack lets the
rider add a two-tone coloured seat and a smoked fly screen to the instrument
binnacle. Included are sliders for the front and rear axles and a decal trim
set to complete the look.
For the Samurai pack, the price reflects
the smaller number of components involved. Aside from common components shared
with the Shogun pack such as the seat, fly screen and decal trim seat, a
carbon-fibre look-a-like tank pad and protective decals for the side covers, as
well rim decals, are supplied.
The Katana carries a 999 cc, inline-four
that produces 147 hp at 10,000 rpm and 108 Nm of torque at 9,500 rpm. In
Malaysia, the Suzuki Katana retails for approximately RM78,000.
