From a press release:

Roehr Motorcycle Company looks to put America on the Sports Bike map.



The Roehr Motorcycle Company is pleased to announce completion of the Rv1000 prototype and is currently seeking financing for production of the first 50 units.



Designed by company founder Walter Roehrich, the Rv1000’s beautiful, smooth flowing, sensual lines produce a emotionally striking design that is both elegant and aggressive.



The Rv1000 is powered by a 120 HP, 936cc, liquid cooled 60deg. V-twin with DOHC 4-valve cylinder heads. At 100lbs. this engine is the lightest and most compact large displacement twin cylinder engine in the industry. This engine is the key ingredient to the character and overall light weight of the 335 lb. Rv1000.



The Rv1000 features the finest quality cycle components in the industry. Suspension from Ohlins, brakes from Brembo and wheels from Marchesini.



Engine:

– 936cc liquid cooled DOHC 8 valve 60deg. V-twin
– 95mm x 66mm Bore x Stroke
– Nikasil lined aluminum cylinders
– 6 speed transmission with multi-plate wet clutch
– Combination chain/gear driven camshafts for ultra compact shim under bucket design cylinder head design
– Separate straight shot intake ports per intake valve
– Electronic engine management system with spark plug top coils
– 4 x 32mm throttle bodies with one injector per intake valve


Chassis:

– Chrome-moly steel tube trellis frame with rubber mounted semi stressed engine
– Swingarm pivoting through rear of engine case
– 23 deg. Rake 89mm trail
– 54 inch wheelbase
– Lightweight Marchesini forged aluminum wheels. 3.5×17 frt. 5.5×17 rear
– 43mm Ohlins upside down titanium nitride coated front forks
– 2 x 320mm Brembo front brake rotors with 2 x 4 piston Brembo front calipers


Unique design features:

– An under-engine fuel tank for better mass centralization and less effect on weight balance with varying fuel loads. This also allows more space for a suitably sized airbox for optimized engine performance.
– Single link-less rear suspension unit saves weight and takes advantage of the superior dampening capabilities of the Ohlins rear shock.
– Digital dash display provides an analog tachometer with multi-function display and lap timing capabilities.
– A ram air system with a centrally located intake duct in the leading edge of the nose provides cool high pressure air for maximum performance.
– Carbon Fiber body work


The Roehr Motorcycle Company is passionately committed to producing beautifully designed high performance Sport Bikes made in the USA.

The Rv1000 is the first in a line of machines from Roehr Motorcycles that will feature unique design solutions to advance the state of the art and deliver superior performance, beauty, and lasting value.

The Roehr Rv1000 prototype is currently undergoing final development and testing for a planned release in early 2006 with a targeted retail price of $22,995, providing the necessary financing can be obtained.
