The end of a legacy....Anybody else heard this........

Being my first new topic, I hate to be a downer....
I just bought a new 2006 Kat 750 last week. I went to the dealer
yesterday and talked to the owner - a guy I have known for years.
He told me that 2006 is the last eyar for the Katana. It will be replaced - but he wasn't sure with what. He did tell me that my bike was one of the last 1200 made so I qualified for a product package that will be coming to me in the mail in a few weeks - what a bummer!!!
Sorry to be the one to give a bit of bad news.....

If it is true, it's time. I love my Katana, but they either had to update and raise the price or continue with dated platform. Suzuki is in the bizz of making money, if there is a strong enough market for our beloved Kat, They will find a comparable replacement.

I didn't believe it when it was rumors
but since they're actually sending you something about it I'd reckon it to be true

[KatanaBadass]

At least my 05' has alot of miles left in it. I don't have to worry about a replacment for a long time.

Seems like the general concensus is "who knows". Guess we'll see next year...

[Kat-A-Tonic]

I thought we had another year left. Oh well, at least the 98+ Kat a great run.

I just received an email from suzuki news this morning titled "Goodbye to a legend..."

Here's what was inside...

Hmmm, maybe it's just me, but I think suzuki's already got their replacement in the SV. And, with a sporty model 'S' to boot... If they brought the SV400 to America, I kinda think the GS would fall next...(Sorry guys, I loved my Kat too!)

[The CyberPoet]

Well, that sucks. Now the question is whether something else will be slotted in as a replacement... Hmmm...
