Honda's new V3 engine with an electric supercharger aims to revolutionize torque and efficiency in motorcycling.

Well, now you have. Japanese motorcycle manufacturer Honda— which seems to be having a blast at the Esposizione Internazionale Ciclo Motociclo e Accessori (EICMA) this year—has just unveiled its new V3 engine equipped with the world’s first electrical compressor for motorcycles (according to Honda’s research).

If electrics aren't yet ready to take over in the motorcycling world, maybe forced induction could rule the next era. Honda has just dropped a revolutionary large-capacity V3 combustion engine at EICMA,

Honda has announced the development of a 75-degree V3 engine for larger-displacement motorcycles, which promises to be both compact and high-performing. Honda says this new water-cooled engine is designed to be compact and designed to deliver high torque even at lower revs thanks to the electric compressor.

Three-cylinder engines, like the GR Corolla's or a Triumph Triple's, are usually inline. A V3 is pretty weird, then.
