The Suzuki Recursion is a turbocharged concept motorcycle shown by Suzuki at the 2013 Tokyo Auto Show. The engine is a 588 cc parallel-twin with intercooled turbo and traction control system.[1][2] Kevin Cameron described its power delivery in Cycle World as "the torque of a liter-bike, given across a three-times-wider band and packaged into a light middleweight",[3] and Gizmag's Mike Hanlon compared it to a Buell V-twin.[2]
Visordown.com said the intercooler was positioned under the saddle.[4] It is unclear if this would be carried forward in a production motorcycle; other production models with under-tail exhausts and radiators (Benelli Tornado) have been criticized for un-ergonomic heat management.[notes 1][notes 2][notes 3]
