Kawasaki already offers a supercharger in series production in its H2 models. Honda also seems to be working on a supercharger concept. At least that is what current patents suggest.

The patent specifications that have now been published deal with the positioning of the compressor on the V2 engine and its integration into a new framework concept. All in all, the attached drawings look very detailed and the overall concept is coherent – but that doesn’t mean that a Honda designed in this way is also coming.

Charging and direct injection

According to Honda, the compressor would find its place in the V between the two cylinders, which are at a 90-degree angle to one another, approximately at the level of the cylinder heads. This creates short distances to the inlets. The cylinder heads are each equipped with a chain-driven camshaft. The compressor is driven by a gear cassette that extends to the left of the front cylinder as far as the crankshaft. Charging is combined with direct injection with two injectors per cylinder – one injects into the intake manifold, the second directly into the combustion chamber.

Also noteworthy is the framework concept that the patent provides for the Kompressor-V2. The two-cylinder hangs as a load-bearing component in a tubular lattice bridge frame that extends from the steering head to the rear cylinder head. The engine is bolted to the rear cylinder head and the front of the crankcase. The rear swing arm with beam is mounted directly in the engine housing, the central spring strut with deflection lever is supported on the rear cylinder. The screwed rear frame – presumably a cast part – is docked to the tubular space frame on the rear cylinder head. A cladding is not provided in the patent drawings, but that doesn’t mean anything.

The bottom line is that the patents could show a new edition of the Honda VTR 1000 F, paired with design elements from the current Neo Sports Cafe design line.
