EICMA 2015: Kawasaki SC-02 “Soul Charger” Concept

Japanese manufacturer Kawasaki has debuted its second supercharged concept, in just a month’s time. Do you remember from the Tokyo Motor Show the Kawasaki SC-01 “Spirt Charger” concept? It depicted what many believed would be the next supercharged model from Kawasaki and now we have the Kawasaki SC-02 “Soul Charger” concept.

Mr. Kenji Tomida, President of Kawasaki Motorcycle & Engine Company said, “The SC-02 “Soul Charger” is a downsize design showing how Kawasaki supercharger technology is scalable. Kawasaki hasn’t decided what displacement range the SC-02 would fit into, or even if the model will even come into production.”

Mr. Tomida has promised 12 new models will come from Kawasaki in the 2017 & 2018 model years. Unfortunately, he would not elaborate on what those models would be. It seems to point to Kawasaki developing more supercharged motorcycles. To which we can only hope they arrive sooner rather than later. But that’s all we know for now.
