Is the Ninja H2 going to use a 1000cc Supercharged Engine?
A French bike magazine is saying the Ninja H2 will be using a supercharged 1000cc engine, how likely is this to happen?
This time last year in Tokyo Kawasaki revealed a supercharged four-cylinder that seems to have castings that are ZX-6R-ish, leading many to believe that it may be an engine around the 600cc range or a bit higher.
Kawasaki had this to say about the engine:
'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.'
