Suzuki patent for turbo-charged roadster shows air routing to intercooler

Another patent detail drawing for the upcoming Suzuki Recursion turbo-charged bike has appeared.

We were the first to bring you all the details about Suzuki’s secret plans to take the concept bike into production for later this year and this latest drawing of the project shows just how far along the production schedule the turbo-charged 588cc parallel-twin has come.

What makes this particularly interesting is the routing for the air that’s outlined coming through the top half-cowl fairing.

In items 122a and 122b you can see that the air is going to be channeled from open intake vents mounted either side of the headlight cluster and then route under the mirror mounts to then be drawn onto the surface of the bike’s intercooler for the turbo.

This looks like the most clear and recent indication yet that the bike will appear with a turbo-charger and intercooler system, the essential way to get 1000cc-type performance from a small and narrow 588cc sporty roadster.
