presentation of the 1000 Katana Jindachi 2019
In the distant lands bordering the rising sun, many a Kiai echoes in the cool air over the grasses. Fleeting sparks are seen when Tachis, Japanese swords, are waved. The Jintachi is classified as a warrior's weapon, especially for horsemen. It is less well known than the Katana, the latter having replaced it at the end of the Koto period.
Suzuki has decided to reconcile these two blades in a special edition of its big neo-retro roadster. The result is the 1000 Karana Jintachi, distinguished by a range of accessories.
Italians will be able to choose a grey or black saber with a selection of parts from the catalog. Thinning the air, the Suzuki rumbles to the voluptuousness of an Akrapovic Slip-On Line S-S10SO15-HAPT titanium exhaust. Lighter by 1.1 kilos, it offers a spoonful of power and a bonus ounce of torque. A little over 150 hp will be produced by the 4-cylinder engine, which comes from a GSX-R 1000 from the previous decade.
Going into battle, of course, but with a minimum of pomp and circumstance. The rims and fairing are adorned with a series of stickers, the seat is a two-tone model with the Katana logo inlaid, the top of the tank and its sides receive imitation carbon protectors, while the front end is adorned with a smoked bubble a little more protective than the standard element it covers.
The customer benefit is convincing, with Suzuki Italy clearly making an effort with this special series. Is this enough to give other Japanese importers ideas? We'll have to make our own decision.
