'''Suzuki Stratosphere''' is a [[Suzuki]] concept motorcycle, powered by a 1100cc transverse narrow-bore 24-valve inline-6 engine, rated at 180 HP. According to Suzuki press materials, the engine produced above 100 lb-ft of torque from just above idle all the way to [[redline]]. The engine was reported to be three-quarters of an inch narrower than the [[Suzuki GSX1300R|Hayabusa]] 4-cylinder engine due to the narrow-bore spacing. The prototype was first unveiled on October 22, 2005, at the 39th Tokyo Motor Show. Its general design is based on and harks back to the original [[Suzuki_Katana|Suzuki ED1/ED2 Katana]] created by [http://www.target-design.com Target Design]. All the flouncy bodywork is wrapped around the first six-cylinder motorcycle engine from a major manufacturer since the [[Kawasaki | '''Suzuki Stratosphere''' is a [[Suzuki]] concept motorcycle, powered by a 1100cc transverse narrow-bore 24-valve inline-6 engine, rated at 180 HP.

Due to what Suzuki calls a "space-saving design,** the Stratosphere's 1,100 cc six is claimed to he as compact as a typical four of the same displacement, and slightly narrower than its own [[Suzuki GSX1400|GSX1400]]. | ||
