2022 model news

Post by SamK » Thu Nov 25, 2021 8:50 am

Looks like we’re getting the electronics package from the GSX-S1000 and a slight power boost due to updated engine internals.
That includes an up & down quick shifter, more ride settings, updated dash with ‘night mode’
A couple of new colour schemes too.

Top colour is nice ..bottom is naff& not Kat.
So with the new model updates will old stock be reduced to clear?

top one is reasonable enough, but i still think they need the screen to be more upright to give it more of the kat look.

I like the grey one.. it’s like the Ducati Senna models

The taller front screen is much better. Without it, it feels too much of a street fighter, hanging over the front wheel. Maybe it’s my age Image

I’ve also got 20mm bar risers and 40mm lower rear to change the stance completely.

The screen on SamK's one looks right. I would also have made the back of the seat a bit more Katana.
