Bikes for next year

If Suzuki wasn't there it wouldn't have been missed as there sure wasn't anything new or exciting there from them.....
It's because they make such good bikes, they don't have to change anything.

Interesting Honda development, with an electrical supercharger. Really makes good sense, very easy to do. It seems a whole lot easier to beef up the rotor and stator, with a simple electrical wire to a little motor on the supercharger, than belts and pulleys which are directly proportional to engine RPM. Instead of controlling waste gate, the ECU can simply control blower speed.

If I look at all the bikes at the EICMA, it appears as if it is only the American market that craves horse power.

Same as a "Procharger" that has been used for years in the auto industry.....

It does make sense to put this on a bike just for the weight savings alone....
 
My understanding of a Procharger is belt driven?

Not the same?
Right, I forget they were belt driven....

So the one for the Honda would be more like this:
