It's September 2026, and Honda's been working steadily on its V3R 900 E-Compressor Prototype for some time now. Thus far, the company has revealed that it's a water-cooled 75-degree V3 configuration, with the entire point of the supercharger e-compressor being to dial in the power when and where the rider wants it, regardless of engine speed.
Honda refers to the guiding principle for this project as "non-rail roller coaster," and says it's targeting performance from this 900cc triple to rival that of a traditional 1,200cc engine. Only, of course, the 900's comparatively compact size (not to mention this specific configuration) should confer inherent packaging and handling advantages.
