V-Roehr 1250SC SuperBike

This motorcycle is owned, built and designed by Roehr Motorcycles LLC. Framecrafters was contracted to build the composite frame and associated parts designed by Roehr Motorcycles LLC. This is an impressive machine representing a pure American muscle power plant and 1st class world products this bike is out-right beautiful. A super-charged 180hp V-rod motor pushes this amazing bike with ease and the well designed roller puts it to the ground. We had the privaledge of test riding the #1 production version and it was a real treat. The power is very smooth and is effortlesly deliverd. A little bit of man muscle has it cutting corner to corner in ballet like motions. For more info or to get your hands on one contact Roehr Motorcycles LLC.
