This bike to me is like the Lexus LFA. May not be the fastest but has spectacular engineering. Looks engineered, sounds sick and almost everyone loves it too.

[@vroombk]

Yesssss

[@mananyadav9856]

I agree with you, but let me tell you something about LFA. It was not that great at sales.

This is my favourite video from pd in a while. I can't put my finger exactly as to what makes it special, Synth music or camera work or cinematography....or all of these. It feels as if a DOP was hired specially for this video. Also whoever thought of that water splash scene on the bike at 3:43 earns my Sashtaang Pranaam.🙏

[@vroombk]

Ahhaahah cheers

[@adr2567]

I’m not a major fan of the 80’s/90’s bike designs but man this one kills it, I love the squares but still cut design of the bike. The side angle is definitely the sexiest.

[@ThePJExperience]

Very confused , not a major fan of last decades of last millenium bikes , and yet LOVES the Squares.

[@adr2567]

@@ThePJExperience What’s there to be confused about? I’ve clearly said the mix of boxy but with cuts makes it sexy?

Literally killed with editing ! Katana from side profile with four exhaust pipe from engine looks se killer .

Never have I been so hard by the looks or the growl of a bike.. It's a classic case of Love at first sight. ❤️

How does it stack up against Ninja 1000 if the intent is sport touring? Also how does it stand against Ninja 1000 in terms of vital parameters like ground clearance and seat height, which are crucial for sports touring in our Indian conditions?

[@naitikgreyman]

Katana is a disappointment. How can you tour with 12 litres fuel tank? Just does not stand anywhere near 1000
