Suzuki’s new Katana to make IMS debut
As one of the original exhibiting partners of the Progressive International Motorcycle Shows (IMS), Suzuki Motor of America (SMAI) is set to return for all seven stops of the show’s 30th consecutive year, beginning with an exciting North American debut of its stunning KATANA in Long Beach this weekend. Reflecting its ongoing commitment to fine craftsmanship and performance, the KATANA will return embracing its strong company heritage and rich Japanese culture. Join the excitement with Suzuki at the Long Beach Convention Center on Friday, November 16th at 5:30 p.m., and experience the KATANA legacy unfold.
Consumers and industry enthusiasts will have the first opportunity to get a close look at the 2020 KATANA and the rest of the Suzuki’s 2019 lineup of Motorcycles, ATVs, and Scooters every day during the Long Beach show and the entire IMS tour. Other display standouts include MotoGP racer Alex Rins’ Team Suzuki ECSTAR GSX-RR and its street-going cousins, the GSX-R1000R and GSX-R1000X. Learn how the “King of Sportbikes” continues to own the racetrack and the street by taking a technical look at the detailed GSX-R1000 engine cutout.
Attendees will also have the opportunity to participate in a quick survey at the booth regarding market consideration for the GSX-R150, which will be on display along with a race-kitted version. The GSX-R150 is the smallest displacement version of the legendary line of GSX-R sport bikes. As a reward, survey participants will receive a $250 discount coupon to use when purchasing any 2015–2018 200cc+ Suzuki motorcycle or ATV.
Suzuki will also have the new café’ racer SV650X, the adventure and tour-ready V-Strom’s, the new kid-friendly DR-Z50, and many other models on display for the entire Long Beach show and through the rest of the IMS show tour.
