New Katana

Pop-up headlight? No.

Air/oil cooled 1100C I4? No.

Styled by ex-BMW designer? No.

I'm sure it's a fine re-skin of a GSX-S, itself a good bike. Just don't call it a Katana, Suzuki. Failing this, they should have revived the older air/oil 1200 Bandit with extra snorty character. Instead, they revived the decent 1250 Bandit. Japanese decision making is definitely odd.
 
I'm a fan of 1/4 fairing bikes. I had a 99 bandit 1200 with full exhaust, jd jet kit and was a ton of fun. Torque at any rpm.

I'm really liking the look of the new Katana actually. The pop up light would make it even better but the bike will make it or break it based on the components and pricing. Suzuki is known for its budget bikes so a strong whiff of nostalgia with a recent GSX-R engine (detuned of course) for the right price with a seating position more kind than its racing origins and it'll sell well.
