american superbike?!?

[sxlova07]

Umm wondering how soon I will see these on the road once they go on sale in July:

American motorcycle manufacturer Roehr has announced the completion of its pre production run of the Roehr 1250sc.

The Roehr 1250sc uses a Harley Davidson V-Rod engine. The 1250sc uses quality motorcycle parts from the likes of Ohlins, Marchesini, Brembo, Akrapovic and Pirelli. These parts added to the Roehr’s bi-metal composite beam frame make for rapid handling.

Roehr motorcycles are hand crafted in the USA and Roehr are now taking orders for the 1250sc. The price of the motorcycle is yet to be announced.

Looks like a ducati rip off IMO.

[The Snowman]

Not too bad. Front end kinda reminds me of a Duc 999.

And the swing arm. The singled sided swing arm is kinda a ducati thing.

[Punjistick]

Could use a better paint job.

[Brian675]

Same here looks like a 749/999 Ducati. Tom you made some good points.
I still would like to see one in person.

[Brit-Triple]

corvette made their cars look like ferrari's back in the day, why not so the same thing. Products seem to fail and disappear so quickly they probably think they have to link them in order to stay alive. A shame, would like to see an american maker step up.

I want to do more reading on the new KTM RC8, looks nice.

Harley motor? Harley doesn't even use a Harley motor in their sportbikes...think the rotax powered 1125...

[Brit-Triple]

They say, "supercharged 180hp 60 degree V-twin" ....

[Brian675]

Which is Austrian same thing as KTM I believe.

[bfriend]

KTM makes their own engines. Rotax makes engines for Aprilia and BMW.

[type911]

A Porsche designed Harley Motor.

[BCT748]

They use a lot of the same parts as Ducati. They obviously took most of the style from Ducati. I am going to take a guess and say that this bike is going to be more expensive than the 999 was.

That's ok. this isn't a Harley motor either... It is of German decent...

KTM makes their own engines. Rotax makes engines for Aprilia and BMW.

...And Can-Am, and Sea-Doo, and Ski-Doo, and a few others in the powersports biz... Rotax is owned by BRP. BRP bought them a few years and brought them uner the Bombardier "umbrella".

[Nix]

Something seems a bit off with it...I can't figure what it is yet? It's nowhere near as sexy as an MV or Ducati though.

Anyone ride the new Rotax powered Buell?

I rode one about a week and a half ago... Ehhh...

[tom3040]

The new buell is ugly as fuck.

[BCT748]

buells are ugly as fuck.

fixed.

[Cheese]

Could use a better paint job.

It would probably look better with a girl in a short skirt standing beside it. Especially with that mirrored floor.

[ZX-12R]

Eric Buell never used the V-Rod engine because it was too heavy and bulky.

[BCT748]

I was waiting for you to see that

[Omahastylin16]

i actually like the look of that a lot, but i also love the look of duc's

that price is insane though

And the swing arm. The singled sided swing arm is kinda a ducati thing.

Honda had the SSSA First.
