6 cylinder suzuki? or was it too early in the morning....

[dgk13]

Was just coming out of my road this morning when a fleet of bikes drove past, at a glace i saw one go past with what seemed to be twin 3 to 1 manifolds at the front... which tells me it had 6 pots?

This could just be me not knowing one bike from another but is there such a thing? looked like a suzuki of some kind as it was the same blue and white as a GSX-R or something like that..

More coffee or a real bike?

How old?

There have been a few inline 6 cylinder bikes (and there is a Suzki inline 6 they have shown off at a few bike shows recently). However none for years (current Goldwings and the like are flat 6 engines) that I can think of.

Main ones sold were the Benelli Sei, Honda CBX1000 and Kawasaki Z1300.

All the best

It was a modern ish bike, it was on an 03 plate.

Uber massive carbon can on each side with the 3 pipes.
Do you think it could have been for show?

You sure it just wasn't a GSX1400?

Very similar in general looks.. but then as he shot past it didn't sound like an inline 4... it sounded like an inline 6 too..
With the manifold setup and the firing order it sounded amazing... like a 4 but better... like two 3 pot triumphs racing.

Hi

There is a guy who built a V12 from a couple of Z1300 engines and a V8 from a couple of Z900 engines. Possible he has been playing again I suppose.

All the best
