Few motorcycles have left a mark on design history the way the Suzuki GSX1100S Katana did. Unveiled at the 1980 Cologne Motor Show, the Katana's sharp, angular bodywork — penned by Target Design's Hans Muth — was a radical departure from everything that came before it. Underneath the striking exterior sat a potent DOHC 1100cc four-cylinder engine that made it one of the fastest production bikes of its era. Tamiya's 1/12 kit captures every detail of this icon, from the complex engine to the steerable front forks.
