GERMANY- One of reliable and fantastic motorcycle brand of German, Horex coming back into the market channel (after a halt in the 1950s) will market its credible products end of 2011 which are now undergoing detailed and accurate tests. Muscular machine picked up by the vehicle is quite radical, it is configured by "V" and it owns power 200 HP, it is also still worked in development.
Why is it said as radical? Because, the heart of pacemaker of Horex's capacity of 1218 cc V6 (68 mm bore and stroke 55 mm) is equipped by this supercharged engine inspired by the success of VW's VR6 engine. When it is viewed from the outside, it looks like a three-cylinder, while it's actually multicylinder line.
This machine worked by German engineer of Neese Clemens in collaboration with his business partner, Frank Fischer. The development has been conducted over the last five years in secret. "It's smooth 6-cylinder engine, but the stomping is malignant with a distinctive sound," Fischer proud.
Motor design is being done by Peter Naumann who is famous for his great work such as Moto Guzzi MZ 1000 and 1000SF. And most phenomenal BMW C1 scooter and three-wheeled Clever concept with two front wheels tilt when going to turn.
"In the test phase, we want to know the configuration of the suspension, the basic geometry and adjustment of machines fitting and matching," said Hennes Fischer, Head of Development Horex. It's also added by Hennes, it uses two prototype units with different specifications for independent testing.
So, he continued, it's the only way to evaluate the response of the engine in all conditions, and knowing how to work as of and a framework with different loads on asphalt streets. Then, to reduce the efficiency (cost), many commercial components used during testing, unless the exhaust system seems not to be ready for production yet . The engineers Horex provide technology "tough rubber belt" to transmit power supplied to the rear wheels.
Horex will be marketed late 2011 and it is still cheaper than its competitor of the Yamaha V-Max. However, for now the focus of the company is to build a dealer network in Switzerland, Germany and Austria.
