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

The Katana name was later applied to a range of in-house styled sport touring motorcycles in North America through the 2006 model year and; starting at the turn of the millennium; a line of 50 cc scooters in Europe.

The Katana`s design started when Suzuki hired Hans Muth; ex-chief of styling for BMW; to update the company`s image. Muth`s three-man Target Design team consisted of himself; Jan Fellstrom and Hans-Georg Kasten. The design worked through several variations; with the ED1 and ED2 versions (“ED” for “European Design”) revealed to the public in 1980.

Suzuki formally engaged Target design and a three man team led by Hans Muth; ex-chief of styling for BMW; who had done much to modernise the image of the venerable Bavarian Boxer Twin; began work to update the Suzuki`s image. Muth`s three-man Target Design team consisted of himself; Jan Fellstrom and Hans-Georg Kasten. The design worked through several variations; with the ED1 and ED2 versions (“ED” for “European Design”) revealed to the public in 1980. The Target designed machines were in general production until 1985; when all the original model Katanas were discontinued; although `Katana-esque` styling appeared on many in-house designed Suzuki machines for some years to come.
