  Since yesterday you can now do that if you're using Drupal! @username_1 (Mark) added some code to CiviCRM Entity Project, which now exposes civicrm\_contribution\_recur as an Entity in Drupal so that you can manipulate it in Drupal like any other Entity. Will post some steps/screenshots here:
  
  1. git clone <https://github.com/username_1/civicrm_entity.git>
     * this is fresh - look for it soon on <https://www.drupal.org/project/civicrm_entity>
  2. Enable modules: views, views bulk operations (VBO) and CiviCRM Entity
     **-> also Enable the CiviCRM Entity Actions submodule**
  3. Clear caches twice!
  4. Add a view: Show: Recurring Contributions Profile; you will want it to Format: Show: Fields and Create a page for it.
  5. Add Field: Bulk Operations: CiviCRM Contribution Recur
