New prototype images of Honda's future naked model, the V3 E-Compressor, have leaked. The leak reportedly allows for a far more detailed look at the bike than has previously been possible. The V3 E-Compressor is said to be a model Honda is developing that uses a new mechanism combining a V3 engine with an electric compressor (forced induction).

Here it is, the V3 E-Compressor prototype leak, and my pulse is up. A V-three-cylinder with electric supercharger forced induction — just imagining the spec sheet is irresistible. Apparently we get a more detailed look at the bodywork from this leak. Numbers aren't out yet, but the mere fact that Honda's seriously developing this new mechanism has me excited.

Prototype leaks to actual production often take a long time, so nothing to do but wait patiently.

How's an electric compressor different from a regular turbo?

It's a system where a motor forces in air instead of a turbine, the advantage being no lag even from low RPM.

A V3 layout is unusual in itself, so you can expect a different riding feel from the existing inline-4 crowd.

Another leaked image? Honda's leak control is way too sloppy.

A V3 with electric forced induction — never heard that combination before, it's an exciting idea.

An electric compressor is probably aimed at killing lag, but I'm curious about the tradeoff against battery weight.
