I thought that Suzuki's claim was that they pumped the oil round faster
and there was more oil than an 'air cooled' bike so the oil was used to
actively cool rather than just be a lubricant which needed cooling.

I could of course be succumbing to Suzuki's marketing bollox.

 

Pah. No money shot.

 

I think you're right there. VW aircooled engines had pretty large oil
coolers but were still known as, er, aircooled.

 

That is, I suspect, of little consolation to the frog.

 

They did, and some models had oil cooling galleries in the head, I read
recently.

I don't think so. They also reduced significantly the engines finning
and therefore reliance on the traditional air cooling technique.
It was different enough in my book for them to legitimately make
the claim.
