V-Roher 1130 production ready.

http://www.roehrmotorcycles.com/ Theyre taking orders now.

hmmmm not much power though?

I see people mistaking it for a Duc...a lot. Only 120hp, with a DRY weight of 425 pounds? F that. And it has a Harley motor. Next!

$39,995!!!!!!!! Kiss my ass, V-rh...whatever the fu*k!

All that, with a 5 speed gearbox. I'll take a metric supersport for 1/3 of the price, Alex.

All that, with a 5 speed gearbox. I'll take a metric supersport for 1/3 of the price, Alex. Or a 1098 for less than half of that price. Or the souped up 1098 for the same price.

True!

I agree with DLIT, just buy a feckin Ducati. The name it self is much cooler.

This company shot itself in the face from the start. It will fill collector garages and thats it.

That is stupid! Why the FOCK can't one of these companies roll somin worth a CHIT! The motor is out of V-Rod and is a porchse motor. It can be setup right to kick some seroius arse! But not dead small motor stock. HD offers a whole line of Screamin Eagle setups and bore kits.

But not dead small motor stock. HD offers a whole line of Screamin Eagle setups and bore kits. I actually saw the show about developing the V-Rod. A lot of work was put into developing the engine. But it only puts out 120hp. I'd see a 1098 LONG before I'd sport that sh*t. I'd rather sport the stock 1098, even though that v-homo comes with Ohlins.

:idk: http://www.gizmag.com/go/7126/ http://www.gizmag.com/pictures/hero/7126_14040783524_7.jpg April 14, 2007 The Harley-Davidson Revolution Engine Erik Buell dismissed as too large and heavy for a sportsbike may get its chance to fly after all. Roehr is seeking investors to capitalise its first production run of its flag-waving American RV1000 sportsbike. The project is the brainchild of Walter Roehrich, previously known for his 2-stroke street racer of 1995, the RV500. That bike was torpedoed by the prohibitive cost of Direct Fuel Injection technology required in order to meet tightening emissions regulations. Not to be disheartened, Roehrich set out to recreate the light weight, high power, fine handling characteristics of the RV500 using a large capacity 4-stroke engine. After initial testing using an ultra-light Highland v-twin capable of around 120bhp, it was decided that only an all-American concept would fly with buyers (this doesn't extend to the chassis, where the best of Ohlins, Brembo and Marchesini have been called in). From there, the Porsche-designed 1130cc H-D Revolution engine was an easy choice. "There was never any other engine seriously considered," said Roehrich, "It has huge power potential and benefits from a whole industry of aftermarket high performance parts being available. It is also extremely reliable and overbuilt to withstand years of use and capable of withstanding a significant power increase without sacrificing reliability adversely." In standard trim, the Revolution engine produces around 120bhp - enough for streetbike thrills but nowhere near competitive with current hypersports bikes. Roehr claims a real-world potential of up to 180bhp from the engine, and it is anticipated that the first release model will produce more than 150bhp to put it more in the ballpark. The heavy engine makes some compromises necessary; despite dripping with aerospace-quality carbon-fiber bodywork, featherweight Marchesini wheels and a lightweight frame, the bike will still come in at 425lb (193kg) dry. Furthermore, the 3.8 gallon (13.2 litre) tank, mounted between the underseat R1 exhausts and the seat unit, will struggle to provide a decent range - particularly given the thirsty nature of the Revo engine. The most striking issue facing potential customers might be the bike's appearance. Personally, if I shelled out US$40,000 for a mega-exclusive American superbike, and somebody complimented me on my nice Ducati, I'd burst into tears. C'mon Roehr, at least move the logo... Or better still, get some stars and stripes into the paintwork! Styling aside, this is an exciting motorcycle. Will we one day see a Roehr lining up beside the world's best in WSBK if the v-twin engine capacity is raised to 1200cc? It's about time an American manufacturer stepped up to the plate with a serious sportsbike challenger. Tags: Ducati, Harley, Motorcycle

Well when they make it an inline 4, call me.

id rock the 1k twin

id rock the 1k twin :iagree: Love the V twins. Does like kinda Duc ish tho... :scratch:

repost... but anyways im not paying 40k for an 150hp overweight Italian lookalike

$40k id rather spend on a REAL duc if i had the choice to spend. better yet im thinkin a used rc51 thats boatloads less $$.:2cents:

An American sport bike hahahahha hahahahhaa hahahahahahahahahhahahahhahhahaaaahhahaha dosent look too bad tho.

Looks too much like a Duc... I like 'em Buells...

Looks too much like a Duc... I like 'em Buells... :iagree: and for 40 large....:disapp:

makes me dizzy to look at.

i wonder how the hell i missed this ... :sorry: for the repost :leaving: damn college is getting in the way of my :whore:ing

Looks like a Duc 999 with a buel swing arm on it... with a 40k price tag you can buy 2 ducatis though why would you want its knock off.

Drewps...your pic is on the train to RED X-ville. Fix it. :tt: NOW!

Nevermind. I googled it. It does look like a Duc.

Duc's are WAY over priced...

works for me...

works for me... Nice bike...but I'd spend my coin on the Duc. 999 = teh sex.

that or a 1098, the stacked lights on the 999r is growing on me, but i think the 749r looks better then the 999 :2cents:

that or a 1098, the stacked lights on the 999r is growing on me, but i think the 749r looks better then the 999 :2cents: They look the same to me. :idk: I'd ride the hell out of either of them. I like the 999 better than the 1098. I'm not big on the single sided swingarm.

sorry, 998 and 748, not the 749 :bash:

repost... but anyways im not paying 40k for an 150hp overweight Italian lookalike And MERGED!

Ducati's are way overpriced. Why buy a Ducati for 20k when you can get a very close competitor for 10k. And who is stupid enough to pay 40k for a stock 120hp bike. It has nice components ohlins, marchini wheels, and good looking bodywork just not 40k worth. Dump 40k in am Asian 600cc bike and try to compare the two in looks and on the track. Even a 600 would smoke this thing.:2cents:

If you don't understand why anyone would own a ducati... then you just don't understand. End of story. I myself can appreciate the major jap bikes. But even if I was looking for a speed bike, would never buy another. It would be a Ducati or other brand of difference.

:iagree: I've never owned one, never ridden one, but even just looking at one... You know there's something special... The details, the sound, everything... Exactly... its like asking me why I boght a Honda lawn mower instead of a toro or craftsman. Cause its a honda. When it comes to small motors like mowers, generators, pumps, ect... nothing beats them! Unless you are talking 2-strokes then its all about the stihls... but different thread...

It's hard to beat a B&S too...

Not really... a Briggs & Slut-un. I'd much rather have a kholer or techasume (sp?) over a B&S

It's not always about speed and that kinda :bs: It's exclusivity and the beyond. If you dont get it you just dont get it.
