In your MCN this week...

Dear MCN reader,

Just when I was bemoaning a lack of mechanical innovations, along come Honda with their V3 Compressor concept. Now, we all know Honda are no strangers to the three-cylinder V configuration, having used it to power the 1983 500GP title-winning NS500, and road-going NS400R. But where the ‘Big H’ really set the difference with this all-new V3 is the addition of an electrically powered supercharger.

Cast your mind back 10 years and many manufacturers were showcasing forced-induction concepts (remember the Suzuki Recursion?) featuring mid-capacity engines and either a turbo or supercharger, but nothing – apart from Kawasaki’s H2 range – ever came from it. Could Honda’s clever concept signal that the time is now right for blown bikes, and could the tech be the silver bullet for maintaining performance while also satisfying cleaner air regulations? Let’s hope so.

Enjoy the ride,

Emma Franklin – Editor Motor Cycle News
