Is the Kawasaki H2R Turbocharged?
1 Answers
The Kawasaki H2R motorcycle engine is not turbocharged but instead uses a supercharger. It features a water-cooled, four-cylinder engine with a displacement of 998cc, DOHC valve train with 4 valves per cylinder, a maximum power output of 300 horsepower, and a top speed exceeding 400 km/h. The Kawasaki H2 is a high-performance model under the Kawasaki brand, equipped with a 998cc inline-four, four-stroke supercharged engine. There is also an even more powerful variant of the H2, known as the Kawasaki H2R. In motorcycle engines, turbocharging and supercharging technologies are rarely used. This motorcycle can reach a top speed of 360 km/h. Both turbocharging and supercharging are forced induction technologies, which can increase the engine's air intake without enlarging the engine's displacement.
