The Nuda was a concept bike (a one of a kind experimental model,
not for sale), shown at the Tokyo Motor Show in November 1986.
It was a high-tech dream bike that never went to production.
It is claimed that the previous year's Suzuki concept bike Falcorustyco
was a non-running exhibition model with a fake engine, but the
Nuda was a fully operational bike good for 280 km/h, using a
GSX-R750 engine.
Like the Falcorustyco, even the Nuda two-wheel drive and hub-steer,
but while the Falcorustyco had hydraulics drive, the Nuda used
a more conventional shaft drive (if you say that two-wheel drive
on a motorcycle is conventional). Nuda had even some other high-tech
features that have not yet gone into production.
Please send me more info if you know anything more. Perhaps
you could scan magazine articles for us all to see?
