Cute enough. Needs to be a bit more V-twinny tho.

it's alright, nothing more, nothing less. I would quite like to see it with a v twin engine tho.

It would be interesting to hear their predicted figures for the engine.

From an aesthetic point of view I like it. The rear end looks good. I love a good rear end.

It's irrelevant to me really. The final article always looks far less cool. The Duke1290 looked amazing as a concept and now looks a bit pants (still want one) for example.
I don't really get the point of concept vehicles tbh? Tempt us into the candy shop with the promise of something super sweet, then throw a trowel full of dog turd into our faces.

The concept bike will probably never go into production (sadly), but that engine will!
Now in theory (going off the current car tech) that will be pushing about 150 bhp if they build it along bike technology
fugly is all i can say. think if they took that gawdawful fairing off it it would look better. angular at the bottom and curvy at the top... where is the snow plough...

Realist I think, my good man! I'm making an observation which seems to be true time and time again.

I think they'll settle for circa 130BHP

What's the point of the single sided swingarm?
Is it going to be light enough that the single front brake is enough?
Where do I put my tail bag? I hate tank bags and am not leaving home without my rain gear.
The frame looks like it might be flexible too.
The top half looks like a 19th century Brighton strongman's moustache!

Tail end is too short. Styling looks like it wants to be head down **** up, but the bars are comparatively high. Higher then the SV S certainly.
Engine sounds like it might be a good un.
Looks bloody 'orrible!
^^this!
Absolutely gopping!
Suzuki Recursion? Who comes up with these names?
Although, it seems a good name for the little sour mouthful of sick I get from looking at it.
"I shouldn't have had that curry. Been up all night with acid recursion." Yep, that works.
You're all wrong, I like it and that's the end of it alright?
Unfortunately I'm not made of new bike money so my opinion is of no particular importance to Mr Suzuki :(

I like that. But want to see plenty more pictures to make a decent judgement.

I don't care much about how it looks, I care lots about how it will work and how much it will cost.
If they ditch the single sided swing arm (for cost savings and weight) add a second front brake, and keep the cost reasonable (how much does it cost to add a turbo?), I'd buy one. Have to wait until my SV is worn out though.

Well, if anyone over 5'8" manages to fit comfortably on it I'd be surprised....

It's boring IMO, no effort has gone in to, just run of the mill, if you didn't know it was Suzuki you could assume it had come from any jap manufacturer, ie, very samey.
That depends on your point of view. In my head, this is very interesting because it isn't fantastically styled, because that says production-ready. Bring back the mental 80s turbo bikes!

Modern bike with cafe racer styling, just another niche for Suzuki. Not something I'd be interested in but nice that people can have something they'd like.

Widen the headlight unit, rotate one cylinder through 90degrees. You have the 2014 SV.

You are probably right there Ol!
I think the concept is going back to the 80's idea (small motor big power), but without the scary bendy frames.
Manufactures know that they are at the technical limit for normally aspirated motorcycle engines, as metallurgic production methods are the limit now.
Suzuki are the first to come out with something that could go into production,
Kawasaki are also known to be looking at Turbos bikes, but their starting with the ZZR1400 and ZX10r motors first (the 1400 engine is derived from a Mitsubishi car engine, which has been turbocharged IIRC)
