The water-cooled 75-degree V3 engine is being developed for larger displacement motorcycles. It has been designed to be extremely slim and compact and features the world’s first electrical compressor for motorcycles. It can control the intake air compression irrespective of engine rpm, meaning high-response torque can be delivered even from lower rpm. In addition, the electrical compressor allows a high degree of freedom of layout of all components in the limited space available on a motorcycle and efficient centralization of mass. It also does not require any form of intercooler.

Honda plans to apply the new V3 engine to larger displacement models in the future and will continue its development toward mass production.

Honda sees the development of this V3 engine with an electrical compressor as a new challenge in the area of internal combustion engines. Honda plans to apply the new V3 engine to larger displacement models in the future and will continue its development toward mass production.
