'KATANA Meeting 2026,' where Katana lovers from across the country gather in Hamamatsu, happening September 6th — just hearing that gets me excited. Hans Muth's one-of-a-kind silhouette hasn't aged a single day, decades later. People who love the same bike gathering in one place is itself a culture. Event-exclusive merch is apparently available for advance purchase too. Katana love, it's a wonderful thing.

KATANA means the classic one, right? Is there also a current-production model now?

I think this is an event where both original-generation classic fans and the revived current KATANA crowd come together.

Being able to pre-order limited merch is nice, but it'll probably still sell out on-site too.

Early September in Hamamatsu still sounds hot, so it could be physically tough.

Katana owners from all over the country gathering in one place must be quite a sight, I'd love to see it.

A Katana gathering being held in Hamamatsu carries real meaning since that's Suzuki's birthplace.

Being held in Hamamatsu, the local Suzuki fans' sense of unity is probably on another level.
