Ridiculous – Supercharged Liter Bike

I had a Kawasaki ZX-6R for 18 years with 98 HP at the rear wheel as measured on a dyno, and it was plenty. But this bike is around 197 HP with 101 lb-ft of torque. The big plus sounds like for an inline four you have a lot more mid range power/torque so you don’t have to wind it up thanks to the supercharger. I certainly would change the oil every 3,000 miles, as you’re still dealing with a wet clutch and the supercharger spins up pretty high. Though a big perk of being supercharged, is you won’t suffer power loss with elevation. My ZX-6R which was the last generation of synced carburetors needed the knob adjusted at the side for idle at 8,000 ft or above, and was weak until air pressure built up on the front intake with a little speed.
