    Is this the new (real) Katana? - Suzuki Recursion

    Water-cooled 588cc twin-cylinder engine featuring an intercooled turbocharger.

    Crappy name - cool concept

    Look how easy the rear shock adjustment will be!

    I like it, different, yet useable. Looks good and I'm presuming a Yank or Asian would immediately fuck with the turbo and get some crazy power from it.

    I want to hear it scream.

    That's the nicest thing I've seen with a Suzuki badge for a looooonnngg time, very clean and well balanced. Really hope it goes into production with optional turbo upgrades.......

    Not a fan of the tail or that shitty guard/plate holder, but the rest looks fucking mint.

    Put some indicators, pillion foot pegs, mirrors and a tail piece on it and the looks would change a lot.

    If you look at the link it's a little more than a drawing.

    Apart from the tailpiece I actually quite like it. With a few changes I'd even accept it being called a Katana.

    Was reading about this concept thingy today.
    588 twin, turbo'd more for torque than a gazillion HP.
    They claim 50% better economy than a current 600.

    But will they make it ?

    Look - fucks sake if you are going to turbo or supercharge a engine make it a big one - what's the point otherwise?
    Seriously a 600 that 'preforms' like a 900?
    Buy a fucking less complicated and less stressed thou.

    It's just dumb.

    Wake up Japan - hit the market with what you used to do - a arse kicking industry leading machine. Fuck regulations and lawyers, turbo or supercharge a thou. Who cares if a few dozen green yanks write themselves off on their new 'learner' bike - do it for the experienced masses
