Haven't they been down this road before?


 


They have.


 


If the bike will have torque and power via turbocharging, why does the new concept need two cylinders? Seems like it would be easier to adapt a motocross single, especially since those bikes sell in volume.


 


Maybe someone has an engineering answer.

Perhaps the exhaust energy that drives the turbo is too interupted on a single cylinder?


You have to wait ~540degrees before the next input to the turbo impeller.


 


I think Honda had an issue with the turbocharged CX500(?) maggot. Unven pulses from the 90deg twin.
