I’m not saying I’m particularly fond of her design and buttons in place of brake & clutch levers? Um, I’m definitely not ready for that (though my wrists probably are). This is one of a handful of show stealers from Suzuki. CycleNews.com (see title link) describes the Biplane like so:

Shaped more like a bomb that would be dropped out of a plane than an airplane with stacked wings, the Biplane features a 1000cc engine wrapped in body work that flows through the swingarm and around the rear wheel. Front and rear suspension are automotive-like four-bar linkage designs, and the handlebar controls features buttons for the front brake and clutch rather than levers. The styling is surely to be controversial and not to everyone’s taste, but that has been the point with every Suzuki concept model at recent Tokyo Motor Shows: Suzuki are out to prove that their engineering is every bit as good as Honda’s and Yamaha’s, maybe even better.
