Reply With QuoteI believe it's a supercharged I-4 Kawi's been working on.
I believe I've also heard of a blown parallel twin they are working on too.

Mmmmm. Definitely sounded like forced induction in the 6-8 second segment. The remainder of the video almost sounds like an electric motor.... The chirping is definitely not a blow off valve. At least not any of the kind I am familiar with. I highly doubt that. It could very well still be a force induction setup. The chirp may be a secondary electric motor used to keep the crank spinning at speed like in this article. Maybe a more developed version?

I hear 4 cylinders there. Sad face. But damn I wish it was a 2 stroke triple. I'd sell my kidney on the spot.
Or maybe more like this?

No turbo there to my ears - supercharger more likely. Chirping is quite probably a blow off valve, relieving excess pressure during shifts.
they are also making an I4 250
Supercharged yes, I am leaning that direction myself. But that chirp sounds unlike any BOV I have ever heard. I suppose with it being so small it could be possible that's what It is.
250 i4? Interesting.
Supercharged, projected hp is 300, rumored chassis will be based on the ZX 14 r may also be 10 r, release date late 2015 or early 2016, more 16k to 19k
