    Kawasaki have made supercharged motors for yonks, they are know for some of the smallest superchargers ever made, it's never made sense why they don't do bikes with production chargers, think they are happy knowing they could if they wanted, however the motors used in jetski have an ocean to cool them unlike a bike...but no doubt they will crack it.

    Take an eyeball at this old (2010) jetski motor, 1500cc and a cool 300bhp. Stick that in yer pipe and smoke it Mr Busa ;)

    As emissions and fuel consumption requirements get ever tighter, I think we'll see more Turbo and Supercharged engines in performance bikes, they'll have no option.

    after watching a turbo charged R1 at Donny last wekk,errr no thanks,it's almost impossible to ride.however,witht he more linear power delivery of a s/charger,i could see the appeal there :)

    Sounds like a lawn mower with DB-Killer.

    Harks back to the days of the old gpz turbo's, being interesting to see a 750 with litre bike power as that would be a track day tool

    I'm filing all this firmly into the "believe it when I see it" category.

    Same here. Makes interesting reading though. All this hype is almost Apple-esque!

    Just noticed the spoilers on the side of the fairing like an f1 car! Downforce on a bike is a new one?
