The V3R 900 E-Compressor Prototype represents Honda’s future brought to the present
The key to this new machine is in its engine V3 at 75º water coolednow confirmed with 900 cc displacement, which incorporates for the first time in the world an electronically controlled electric compressor. This system allows the boost pressure to be precisely managed, achieving instant and forceful torque delivery from low revolutions, similar to that of a 1,200 cc engine, but with much higher efficiency and response.
According to the brand, the new engine – with an estimated maximum torque of 150Nm and more than 100 HP of power— redefines the balance between performance, smoothness and efficiency. Furthermore, as it is an electric compressor, it does not need an intercooler nor does it depend on the rotation of the crankshaft or exhaust gases like conventional turbos, which opens a new horizon in the design and architecture of motorcycles.
The V3R 900 E-Compressor Prototype It combines Honda’s sporty DNA with a minimalist and aggressive aesthetic. It presents asymmetrical characteristics in its side fairings, tubular chassis, swingarm single arm and a design that, according to international media, would be located halfway between a CB1000R and the new one. CB1000F SE.
The tank incorporates the new emblem “Honda Flagship WING”, which will officially debut on the brand’s top-of-the-range models starting in 2026, symbolizing the beginning of a new stage in its product identity.
Beyond being a mere concept bike, the V3R 900 E-Compressor It represents a rolling laboratory where Honda explores the integration of new generation electric and thermal hybrid engines. This development fits with the brand’s internal movements regarding the new MotoGP 2027 regulations, which will reduce the displacement to 850 cc, a scenario where this technology could play a key role.
Developed under the concept “Non-Rail Roller Coaster”, the V3R seeks to combine the more intense emotions of sports driving with peace of mind and absolute controloffering an experience as exciting as it is predictable.
Honda describes this model as a “new milestone” on his way to motorcycles that exceed riders’ expectationsuniting innovation, driving pleasure and sustainability.
