2010 Roehr 1250SC - First Ride Impression

This is the first independent review of the new Roehr offering. They like it, actually, but it is a road bike, not a track weapon. Of course, you are buying a well-designed frame and the V-Rod 1250c.c. engine (designed by Porsche) when you buy the US$42,500 machine. However, can you find more performance for less...yes, you can.

Yet Another Attempt at Making a Harley Supersport Bike - ROEHR

This is a little late, but no one is reading this anyway.

Apparently, ROEHR was given EPA approval sometime at the end of last month (July 2009), but I only now read about it. They are producing a supersport motorcycle with a Harley-Davidson Revolution Engine (designed by Porsche) from the V-Rod and they supercharged it to get 180HP at the crank. Figure about 14% friction reduction from the tranny and you are looking at about 155HP at the rear wheel - on par with some Japanese liter bikes from about two years ago. However, it is the frame which has many people interested; how they managed to stuff all of the Revolution's plumbing into that bodywork is something I would like to see in person. And, it is stated that it only weighs 432 pounds dry.

Have a look and make your own decision. With the price at US$50,000, I can think of a number of different models I would rather own...can you say Bimota!
