A GSX-R1000 with variable valve timing and the Turbo Recursion in 2016 ?
Unchanged since 2012, the Suzuki GSX-R1000 should according to our information evolve in depth from next year … According to diagrams published by our British colleagues from MCN, the flagship Hypesport of Suzuki would even receive a variable distribution, like the Ducati Multistrada DVT .

GSX-R 1000: a comeback ?
Regarding the GSX-R, if it is still too early to know whether or not it will receive a variable valve timing – a device allowing to improve the engine filling by intervening on the opening of the valves -, it is almost certain that it will receive (finally!) a panel of elaborate electronic assistance.
With it, the Suzuki is indeed the only Japanese sports bike to turn its back on the benefits of anti-skating and anti-wheeling. Ironically, the two motorcycles benefit from pass rights by allowing them in particular to use an electronic accelerator type ride-by-wire which they are devoid of series, in order not to be too dropped by their competitors..
In short, Suzuki having excellent traction control on the and the as well as an important experience in electronics thanks to its return to, there is no reason why the next "Gex" should not benefit from it! Let’s also bet on the arrival of an adjustable ABS, a shifter and why not real-time adjustment suspensions, as on the .
Everything suggests that Suzuki will maintain the three adjustable injection maps on the handlebars, a technology introduced for the first time in series on the 2007 GSX-R. In terms of performance, the current trend being 200 horsepower, the 4-cylinder of Hamamatsu probably won’t deliver one less! Or a leap forward of 15 hp compared to (185 hp and 11.67 mkg of torque in Full).
Announced at 203 kg fully loaded currently, the weight will undoubtedly be reduced to around or just below 200 kg fully loaded, as the …
Recursion: Suzuki ready to go Turbo ?
Discovered in, the Recursion project revolves around a water-cooled 588 cc parallel twin-cylinder supercharged by a turbocharger.
Thanks to this technology, the motorcycle presented by Suzuki in Japan presented very interesting performance, both in terms of power (100 hp) and in terms of torque: 100 Nm at a low speed of 4500 rpm! For comparison, the in-line twin of the ER-6n develops 72 hp and 64 Nm.
On paper, this concept appears very attractive, especially since it is coupled with a contained weight: 174 kg, probably dry. Unfortunately, since its presentation two years ago, no additional information made it possible to envisage any future for the Recursion, giving rise to fears of yet another stillborn project….
Several indicators, however, suggest that things could evolve fairly quickly: first, the fact that Suzuki would have redeposited the names "Gamma" and "Katana" at the beginning of the year in Europe and the United States.
From there to imagine that the coat of arms of Hammatsu uses one of its prestigious names (ah, the famous RG500 Gamma and its square 4-cylinder 2-stroke!) To introduce a new concept like the Recursion, in the same way that Kawasaki did with the H2, there is only one step…
On the other hand, technical documents which have "leaked" on the web show that Suzuki continues to work on its turbo engine: a patent has even been filed, on which the turbo would take place just in front of the engine, as close as possible to the manifolds. to drive its turbine via the exhaust gases.
An "air-to-air" type exchanger (better known under the name of Intercooler) would also be used to lower the temperature of the intake air, one of the weak points of turbo charging: air. hot expands and takes up more space, which affects mechanical performance.
