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

**rustyrobot** · 28th November 2013, 20:11

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.......

I like, reminds me of a buell

**HenryDorsetCase** · 29th November 2013, 10:09

it is fucking hideous. it will never see production.

falcorustico.

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

Nice drawing...

**paturoa** · 30th November 2013, 13:14

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.

Burn the Heretic

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

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** · 3rd December 2013, 19:37

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...
