Starting from the assumption that the desire dismissed a reliable used motorcycle speeding motor only made in Japan and Italy, Walter Roehrich then build a motor that he named this Roehr 1250. Trying to build this motor with a full component of American-made, Walter managed to offer an alternative for those who are bored with Japanese or Italian motorcycle.
Roehr Motorcycles is already established since 1995 but only now comes the ambition to make this all American bike. Roehr 1250 framework was designed by Walter Roehrich armed with a long experience in the automotive field. The result was not merely the framework on which other components bertumpunya but have become one with the motor itself.
HarleyDavidson Revolution engine with a capacity 1.250cc selected as a source of energy that drives this motor. V-twin engine with a supercharger is taken from Harley-Davidson V-Rod and is said to be able to supply power for 180 horsepower and torque of 155Nm. However, this powerful machine has a problem to be solved Walter. The weight of this machine alone has reached nearly 50kg and be no solution to the total weight of the motor was so swollen.
Walter uses a mixture of aluminum material and steel as raw material CroMolly making framework for achieving weight as possible without reducing the overall security level. The result, a cursory Roehr is similar to the 1250 Ducati 999 that have been retired, especially when viewed from the front. Although not entirely right but this could be the motor is a source of inspiration when designing the fairing Walter.
With five dental transmission system acceleration, Roehr was able to reach a maximum speed of 300km per hour. But make no mistake, Walter did not build this bike for consumption circuits. This is Roehr 1250 street bike made to compete with motors non-Americans who flooded the market today. Because a large engine capacity, do not expect to save fuel with this motor. To one liter of fuel, Roehr 1250 was only able to cover the distance of about 17km course.
In addition to fuel-intensive, there is one more to consider: price. Because of this motor using a component that is hardly worth the cheap price set Roehr Motorcycles also not cheap. This Roehr 1250 reportedly sold for U.S. $ 60 thousand or approximately equivalent to Rp600 million. But do not worry, with such a high price, Roehr Motorcycles ensure the quality of all this American bike.
