Honda V3R: Need To Know
The bike gets world-first tech and radical styling.
The V3R 900 E-Compressor Prototype features the 75-degree, water-cooled V3 engine that was unveiled at last year’s EICMA, with its displacement now confirmed at 900cc. In a world-first for a motorcycle, it adopts an electronically controlled compressor, allowing precise control of engine boost, delivering high-response torque from low revs. That’s claimed to deliver performance on par with a 1,200cc engine despite the 900cc displacement while also achieving specifications that enhance environmental efficiency. The bike is also said to have a unique soundtrack with this engine configuration.
The motorcycle’s streetfighter styling is slim and compact, with a vertical LED headlight at the front. The body features asymmetrical side fairings, while the tank emblem debuts the new “Honda Flagship WING” design, which will be gradually introduced on top-tier models starting next year. At the rear, we can see that it uses a single-sided swingarm and a substantial exhaust unit.
Honda also says that the V3R 900 E-Compressor Prototype has been developed under the concept “Non-Rail Roller Coaster”, combining the latest technology with Honda’s long-accumulated motorcycle development know-how, aiming to possess two “contrasting” characteristics – “guaranteed thrill” and “reassuring peace of mind”.
For now, this is only a prototype, so we can expect more details and specifications once the bike nears production.
