New suzuki dual sport?
http://suzukicycles.com/
The suzuki website has some interesting hints up about their new bike that will be out fairly soon. Looks like a dual sport, possibly an update to the Vstrom, possibly to bring it more in line with the gladius and save on production costs With the tenere, the f800, f650, tiger 800, and whatever other newer middleweights the vstrom has fell behind in the technology and cool because its new departments. The last new vstrom was 2004, 7 years ago, so that was a good run.

The lines in the fairing remind me of an RF900R.

I had to look that one up
I actually thought it reminded me of the connie 14, or even an older VFR

Maybe the new bike is an update of the RF900R to fill the niche of the Connie, new VFR, and FJR. Does Suzuki have a bike in that class yet?

the Busa and the GSX1250, but really no, not really. the thing that leads me to say dual sport is the dirt road in that picture

It seems more ST than DS with those lines...

Looks like a Vstrom to me, has the same basic outline, plus like I said the background being a dirt road and mountains says something
