With Kawasaki raising the bar we are not surprised that other manufacturers may not. YES, we are talking about how during the last few days we saw a rising in the news of Turbo and Superchargers however it was not something new.<\/span><\/p>\n

Let’s look at each top manufacturers about there patents on Turbo and Superchargers.<\/span><\/p>\n

KAWASAKI<\/span><\/h4>\n

KAWASAKI has already released the second teaser about its midsize\u00a0<\/span>supercharger a few days<\/span><\/a>\u00a0ago. From the teaser,\u00a0<\/span>we could find out<\/span><\/a>\u00a0that it is a collaboration between Z1000 and Z400 and Ninja H2.<\/span><\/p>\n

The\u00a0<\/span>model<\/span><\/a>\u00a0looks more masculine and the\u00a0<\/span>front looks<\/span><\/a>\u00a0similar to Z250 and Z400. The<\/span>\u00a0speedo<\/span><\/a> also looks different than the H2. We are eagerly waiting for its release.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>HONDA<\/h4>\n

We have the latest information on HONDA coming up with a turbo motorcycle using the technology from four-wheel and scaling it down to two-wheeler.

Scaling down is always going to be difficult from the high-speed engine to a two-wheel turbo as the loading space is less.
HONDA has been doing a lot of research in turbocharger space in cars as well as superchargers.<\/p>\n

Below patent was published in October 2017 about the patented SOHC 4-valve V2 supercharged machine.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Below is the patent filed in March 2017 and published on November 2018. It also matches the engine part of the supercharged machine with the picture above. Just take a look at it and 18 is Turbocharger in the below diagram.

HONDA on the other hand as various patents related to electric bikes so we may see that Turbo may come with Honda’s electric motorcycles first and soon too.<\/p>\n

\"\"YAMAHA<\/h4>\n

The motorcycle below is MT-09 and there was patent filed by\u00a0<\/span>YAMAHA in June 2017.<\/span><\/a>\u00a080 is turbocharger and this engine has 2 cylinders. How we see that any no of cylinders could be accepted by Turbo and Supercharger technology.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
