From Raptors & Rockets (http://raptorsandrockets.com/news.html)

As usual Raptors & Rockets has been able to dig up the best new bikes for you. Here is the 1.100cc six-cylinder bike in all angles and in great detail. The big six-cylinder machines has always been great touring machines, and you can see from one of the photos that Suzuki has touring plans also for the Stratosphere. I will let the photos speak for themselves.

Neat LCD dash... I wonder how it works in direct sun?

Nice looking concept, but man my back hurts just looking at it.

Reminds me of the original Hans Muth designed Katana...

That's one of those bikes I'd have to see in person before I could figure out if I 'liked' it....... :?:

Something about that bake doesn't seem right.  Are we sure it's not a doctored pic, you know, a scam?  I can't see Suzuki making anything like that.

1.100cc six cylinder? That doesn't sound very fun. At most it would be making like 3 hp.

In Europe (where the site I quoted is at), they use periods in numbers where the US uses commas, and where we use commas, they use periods... so it's an 1100.

Yeah, I know. I was just having a little fun. Kind of how I make fun of them for spelling color "colour", and such. Funny how different countries can have the same language, and yet the national dialects can have such large differences.
