Suzuki Stratosphere concept bike.........

[designeraccd]

How many have seen the pics of the new Suzuki in-line, transverse DOHC 6 Stratosphere "concept" bike? WOW...a stunner in my humble opinion as an Industrial Designer. Fresh, but with hints of the original Hans Muth designed Katana. It also appears that a non contortionist can ride the bike, doesn't appear to have crotch rocket inhuman ergos. DFO :clap:

Not bad at all!

Yup, just a hint of the original Katana, but with new, creative surfaces and forms. Very intriguing evoltion of shapes, colors and textures for the "next" motorcycle. DFO

Somebody is spending too much time riding and hasn't mowed his lawn.... Almost looks as long as mine.

Anyway, there is a resemblance but I like the new Stratpsphere better, except for the chain drive.

... but this is Suzuki, so in 2010 when they finally decide to make a bike out of that concept, it'll be nothing like it and a big let down all around -- like the B-King they teased us with for years, and that anemic thing they finally put out this year. Thank goodness Yamaha made a bike that is more B-King than the actual B-King (the naked FZ1 we're getting this side of the pond)

But 6-cylinder bikes are mean, I for one would love a modern version of the Kawi Z1300. One day when I get bored I'll probably get another...
