'''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]. | '''Suzuki Stratosphere''' is a [[Suzuki]] concept motorcycle, powered by a 1100cc transverse narrow-bore 24-valve inline-6 engine, rated at 180 HP.

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 KZ1300A|Z1300]] and [[Honda CBX|CBX]] behemoths from [[Kawasaki]] and [[Honda]] at the end of the 1970s, The major difference here, however, is that the Stratosphere's power unit is anything hut massive. 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]]. | ||

The Stratosphere is a concept bike expected to hit the roads in 2009. All that power is delivered to a dual-mode transmission. If you like automatic shifting–or if you are just momentarily tired of rowing the gearbox–this bike will do it for you. But if you require the classic experience, clutch lever and shift lever are there for you. It’s hard to say what’s next, but the work Suzuki undertook toward clutch/throttle/gearchange automation in MotoGP will not just be filed and forgotten. In the 1970s, my own stiff-necked devotion to manual shifting was charmed out of me by 300,000 miles in an automatic van. | |||
