Yes, we know that forced induction motorcycle engines were invented some time ago, but they're still not very common. Of course, forced induction is quickly taking over the engine bays of seemly every sports car, so we're not surprised to see it starting to show up in two-wheeled vehicles as well.

Kawasaki has developed a new supercharger that is made to withstand the pressures of spooling up at motorcycle speeds.

Suzuki has created a concept bike called "Recursion" that features a 588cc turbocharged engine that produces just under 100 horsepower.
