[QUOTE="HotRodZilla, post: 1380904, member: 13519"] Remember, they are not supercharging a 1300cc motor to make 300bhp in an ST bike. As said above, I'd bet it's a 650 or 800cc motor with the SC added to bring it around 140+/-. Superchargers are different than Turbos in the way they deliver power. BUT, look at what the cat manufacturers are doing. 2.0L turbos, and Ford's Ecoboost in a 3.5L Turbo, even in the F150s and Raptors. What I'd like to see is a 6.2L turbo that makes around 600bhp, but that would kill the powerstroke market. The bigger motors are making close to the same HP numbers as the small turbo versions, and at Ford, many like the 5.0 over the Ecoboost. Simpler motor, and no spooling time. Naturally aspirated engines will be relevant for a very long time. Hell, even the MPG figures aren't that much better for SC and turbo engines. Also, SC and turbo engines require premium fuel. Personally, sometimes, I think it sounds cooler than it really is, most of the time. JMHO... [/QUOTE]
