My buddies GSXR750 L0 (2011) sounded like it had a supercharger, really unique sound (still very much IL4 though I admit). The Daytona 675's sound like an old person's whistle...... will be interested to hear it when it appears.
funny you should say that week or two ago after doing a couple of hundred miles on the 848 stopped for fag in a quite spot. an IL4 went past not noisy just annoying. don't normally think about these things.
Forced Induction THE replacement for displacement I love the sound of the compressor stalling chirp on the downshifts
Not really, but if it was perfect we'd already be using them. Trouble is the bike industry is under scrutiny; bikes need to be a whole lot more efficient if they are to survive, and I can't see Bologna easily switching to supercharged 2-strokes...
Fascinating technology but the thing weighs an absolute tonne! ~240kg wet, that's half a dirt bike heavier than the Panigale at ~190kg wet!
It could never be called pretty, but ugly might be a bit harsh. It is certainly staggering, attention grabbing and different. All of which float my boat as I dont like anything 'normal'.
