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.

[Geeen]

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.......:innocent:

I like, reminds me of a buell

[HenryDorsetCase]

it is fucking hideous. it will never see production.

falcorustico.

[bogan]

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

[caspernz]

Nice drawing...:no::laugh:

[paturoa]

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

[Katman]

Nice drawing...:no::laugh:

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.

[fridayflash]

two cylinders too little to ever be a katana surely, anyways its a cool bike

[roogazza]

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 ?

[AllanB]

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

Now look here, I think you just made Mr Honda faint just from the thought of it...

Well it's better looking than a Teapot.

In what way is "Katana" a crappy name? This bike needs a 1200cc V-twin.

Katana is a fine name... despite being maligned by the GSX-F. "Recursion" is a crappy name.

I dunno, it's kind of a cool sounding word, but if you know the meaning of it, it makes not a lot of sense. I mean the design isn't recursive, and a bike isn't really the sort of thing where recursive functionality is useful...

[Scouse]

Looks like it is made in China

Is that near Botany Downs?

[jolly_26]

Needs more cylinders!

Same here. And that name... Recursion. Really? Who came up with that should be fired.
