Kawasaki supercharged UTV Teaser video

[hondabob]

An improved engine with forged pistons and a stronger complete drive train takes a lot of testing. My best guess would be enough boost to have at least 200 hp. I'm hoping for an electric computer-controlled turbo. It would be nice to see a new model next year. Most of the guys are getting old in their late 70's and 80's. I still have one young friend I have been riding with for 25 years. He is 50 now and has a high end Canam belt drive model. 7 of the guys have Canam Turbos and 3 have Polaris Turbos. With the Kawasaki Turbo coming out this year the next few years will be interesting. The Kawasaki Turbo may be tempting some of us especially if it doesn't have a belt drive.

If we’re lucky.

It's supercharged, not a turbo.


Hopefully they have a 2 seat version coming.

If we’re lucky.

How many more combinations of the same body panel colors do you want from Honda? They worked their asses off mixing and matching body panels and coming up with those latest stickers. Give em a break already....

Personally I believe they should only make red because RITFC but they probably didn’t ask for my opinion

Mine is red for that very reason.

They’re all red on the inside.

If it's red when I get in there I'm out.

Kawasaki is racing the Mint 400 this weekend.

There's a single Talon in the UTV Pro NA class for the Mint:

Honda will probably win the NA class, and the Kawasaki looks really good. Polaris and Canam have a huge team, but Kawasaki could win or finish well. It will be interesting to see if it has a transmission or belt drive. The supercharged motorcycle has a 6 speed. I think Yamaha has a supercharged jet ski so they may have something good in the future.

Looks like its a 1000cc inline 4cyl with a supercharger that makes 300hp. I'm going to assume it's the Ridge engine with a blower. Kawasaki keeping it 1000cc makes that car way easier to class race unlike a Pro R that basically needs it's own class due to the 2000cc displacement.......

Kawasaki finished last and may have broke or crashed. Someone crashed on a jump.

That doesn't surprise me. Honda wants no part of duking it out against RZR and Maverick. The Honda UTV race presence is barely existent. This is why everyone knows RZR and no one knows Talon.

The NA class at most of these events is not large. If I had a race team that's where I'd put it. Skip the stacked and packed turbo class. Honda won't win in the high horsepower class. But will a responsible driver that can finish in one piece, Honda would have a great chance in the NA class.

Look what I found:

Larry Janesky (Into the Dust movie) is racing a Talon in the BITD.

 

[JACKAL]

There was a highway crossing/ jump that was pure carnage for many. Here's one example, haven't seen the clip of the Kaw H2 wreck yet.

A couple of guys we know wrecked their Maverick over that jump.

They had to cut the cage off to get the passenger out, broke his T4 but otherwise OK.

Vegas to Reno 2023 race results. The Jenesky Honda was the ONLY Honda in all of the UTV classes.
