You can find turbos and superchargers for most of the Japanese bikes these days but I haven’t seen much for Italian bikes. Koehler, a German company, makes this Moto Guzzi supercharger and it looks really nice. Of course, the Guzzi V-twin is mounted transverse in the frame so a blower just fits in so neatly. Sometimes, when an engineering project looks right there’s a good chance it works pretty well, too. This blower look right.

cool.
bummer for newer models ’cause I don’t think this would fit on the current V11 Sport due to the rear shock & backbone frame.
However, the trick rear suspension on the incredible MGS-01 racebike might make room for something like this supercharger.
The Moto GP is fun to watch (obviously) but it would also be somethin’ to see the Guzzi MGS-01, Buell Firebolt 12, BMW R1100S, & Ducati 900 Supersport go at it in an air-cooled cup series. (before the air-cooled engine is a part of history)….maybe even include the Thruxton to round out all of the twin configurations…thoughts?
