Suzuki Biplane Concept: Motorcycle, Not Aeroplane

Jalopnik is at the Tokyo Auto Show and snapped a few pictures of this fantastic Suzuki "Biplane" motorcycle concept. I'm not entirely sure why it's called "Biplane." Perhaps it will all-too-easily send its rider airborne?

I don't know, but it looks like it should have been called the Kaneda.

Feh. They just slapped some new bodywork on their Falcorustyco and Nuda concept bikes from 20 years ago:

Hardly new or innovative.

perhaps "biplane" is a reference to the engine and refers to the separate planes of piston travel or something else??
