Member Contributer arrow Posted November 6, 2024 Member Contributer Posted November 6, 2024 This seems like good news. It looks like a very interesting concept: https://www.motorcycle.com/bikes/new-model-preview/honda-unveils-new-v3-engine-with-electrical-compressor-44611192 Quote
Sweeper Posted November 6, 2024 Posted November 6, 2024 The package that its in looks really interesting. Just bring it Honda. Quote
DrErgal Posted November 6, 2024 Posted November 6, 2024 The electrically driven turbo sounds bizarre, at a first sight, but in reality it makes sense by thinking of the now unmissable ECU controlled riding modes; by driving the electrical motor, the ECU can modulate the turbo response at will. Moreover, single side swingarm, trellis frame... mmmhhh, it really recalls an old italian bike 😇 1 Quote
Member Contributer Captain 80s Posted November 6, 2024 Member Contributer Posted November 6, 2024 And just when they've got the disillusioned Honda Sport Bike crowd excited, they will release the production version with V-TEC, PAIR, Dual Combined Brake System, 4 cats, 18" front wheel and integrated, too small, saddlebags because it has undertail exhaust for no reason. And then a fender extender. turn signal, license plate mount that is an integral part of a cast aluminum sub frame. The same headlight as the Hornet/Transalp/every other Honda will of course be implemented to ensure it's ugliness, mounted above a stupid fucking beak, surrounded by sharp lined, insect like bodywork of a new proprietary color impregnated process that turns out to be non-repairable or paintable. Europe will get a KILLER Red/White/Blue color scheme that somehow makes the bike look decent. The US will get Asphalt Black or Matte Grey with red pinstripes. Europe will get Smart Phone BlueTooth integration allowing full Nav, US will get a charging port. The front end mysteriously becomes non-adjustable VFR800. HP is limited to 89... at the crank. 2 1 3 Quote

"V3X 900" New engine concept with 2019 EICMA CB4X design. I can dream 1 Quote
Member Contributer Hingley Posted November 7, 2024 Member Contributer Posted November 7, 2024 Dam that CB4X design is impressive, Honda sure has got a lot of milage out of the 400 in line 4 motor, if I am not mistaken that motor is from the CB1 back in 89-90 Quote

Somehow I missed this, and just stumbled across it watching motorcycle videos on the web. I got super excited, then I read Captain 80's bit above, reminding me how Honda in the last decade plus, has somehow always managed to turn the best ideas into ho-hum bikes for the masses. Please lock up the bean counters, and let the HRC guys loose in the shop to cook up something fun for once in awhile... 1 Quote
