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]

[edit | edit source]- ^ Burns 2010: "[U]ndertail exhaust and poor heat management meant 'the rider's right shin gets roasted...'"[5]
- ^ Ash 2004: "The underseat exhaust might look sexy but my backside was roasting after an hour on board..."[6]
- ^ LeSanto 2002: "[R]iding slowly up and down the main street for photos put stacks of heat into the engine, the clutch and because of that under-seat radiator the rider! The water temp hit maximum, the clutch got grabby and I sweated off several pounds. Benelli put the radiator under the seat to allow for a streamlined front end for the machine and to optimise weight distribution, but it had a difficult time keeping the temperatures in check..."[7]
