V3R 900 E-Compressor Prototype
Years of engineering, bold ideas, hard knocks and relentless perseverance – all for your ride. The V3R 900 E-Compressor is built for the bold. It pairs a compact, water-cooled 75° V-type 3-cylinder with the world’s first electronically controlled compressor for a motorcycle*, allowing precise control of engine boost, delivering high-responsive torque from low revs. Compact for agility. Dynamic for speed. No compromises – just cutting-edge engineering.
