Honda Unveils New V3 Engine with Electrical Compressor
Unlike a turbocharger, which uses exhaust gas, or a supercharger which is typically spun with a pulley connected to the engine, the V3 uses electricity to spin the impeller. This allows the engine to compress the air intake independently from the engine speed, providing boost even at low rpm, where superchargers need faster speeds to provide the necessary compression, and without the lag typical of a turbo. Honda’s electrical compressor also does not require an intercooler.

Destination: Ontario. An Underrated Riding Experience
It’s been a while since I walked out of work into a dark winter evening and scraped frost off of my motorcycle seat before hopping on to brave the elements. Longer still, that I did it every night during college in the Midwest where my enthusiasm and devil-may-care attitude outweighed the fear of potential black ice lurking in the shadows. Not long after that time, I moved to California with its promise of year-round riding in the sunshine with mountains I could visit within a day to get my fix of snow if/when needed. It’s been great. I do miss the seasonality though. The moist smell of dirt and decay that you only get a few times a year on unseasonably warm fall days as the leaves begin to change color and litter the forest floor before drying to a crisp in the winter wind. I miss the silent mornings when an overnight snow storm left the landscape blanketed in a sound dampening layer of ice. I miss change.
