Kawasaki announce factory built supercharged engine

–Found on the BMF Facebook page–

Kawasaki hasn’t officially announced specific details about the new engine, but speculation suggests the capacity could be close to 1000cc.
All the information we have so far was given in a press release, which says, “Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Ltd. also has a long history of developing technologies for turbine engines. The lifeblood of these turbines is their blades, which need to be able to cope with extreme heat and vibration while spinning at high speeds.
“Know-how from years of designing turbine engine blades was instilled in the first supercharger developed by a motorcycle manufacturer. And of course, designing a motorcycle-use supercharged engine in-house means that maximum efficiency could be pursued.”
