By waiting until 1986, Suzuki saved buyers money as the tax dropped to 24.4 percent. In the intervening year, Suzuki responded to European riders' complaints about the bike's stability by lengthening the swing arm by one inch.

The Suzuki Katana is a street motorcycle sold between 1981 and 2006 and then since 2019. It was designed in 1979–1980 by Target Design of Germany for Suzuki..

Cycle World's Superbike of the Year for three consecutive years from 1981 to 1983. Cycle Guide said in March 1978, "Technologically, the GS1000 is a landmark motorcycle.
