The Suzuki Katana has been a popular bike since it’s introduction in the late 1970’s. It’s also been rather divisive. Although it garnered rather tepid reviews from motorcycle magazines, younger riders embraced the bike and helped it achieve the success it enjoys today. Today, many enthusiasts take time to customize and modify the bike. Like the Icon 1000 below.
The new custom Icon 1000, based on the Suzuki Bandit, sports a new 1200cc inline-4 and a 1/4″ steel plate frame with reinforcements.

There are some great pictures below if you’d like to see this beauty.
