Horex VR 6 Raw
2019
2019
The Horex VR6 Raw 2019 is a unique naked motorcycle, carrying on the tradition of Horex's distinctive VR6 engine design. While not directly comparable due to its unusual engine configuration, it slots into a market segment occupied by powerful naked bikes like the BMW S1000R, offering a different approach to high-performance riding. It aimed to provide something outside the usual inline-four or V-twin formulas prevalent in the class.
At the heart of the VR6 Raw lies its defining feature: a 1218.0 ccm (74.32 cubic inches) V6, four-stroke engine. This powerplant generates a substantial 128.0 Nm (13.1 kgf-m or 94.4 ft.lbs) of torque, promising strong acceleration across the rev range. The bike's dry weight is listed at 220.0 kg (485.0 pounds), which contributes to a feeling of stability. The 17.00 litres (4.49 US gallons) fuel tank capacity is adequate for reasonable range between fill-ups. This engine architecture offers a unique sound and power delivery not found in more common engine layouts.
The VR6 Raw presents a relatively upright stance, typical of naked bikes, affording the rider good visibility and control. With a seat height of 780 mm (30.7 inches), it is generally accessible to a wide range of riders. The suspension setup, while not specified in detail, is tuned to offer a balance between sporty handling and acceptable comfort for longer rides. The bike's overall design suggests a focus on street usability with an emphasis on the engine as a visual and performance centerpiece.
The Horex VR6 Raw 2019 appeals to riders who appreciate engineering ingenuity and are looking for something different from the mainstream. It targets those who value exclusivity and are drawn to the distinctive character of a VR6 engine. While perhaps not the most practical choice for daily commuting, it offers a unique riding experience and a conversation starter wherever it goes. Its rarity and unconventional engine make it a compelling option for motorcycle enthusiasts seeking something truly special.
