A Cafe Racer at the antipodes
Boosted by its success at the World Cup, Voxan is exported to New Zealand while 30 Black Magic have already been booked on the internet. At the same time, the brand’s dealers are under very strong pressure before their national convention..

In total, "around thirty Black Magic have been reserved, exclusively on the brand’s website", specifies the person in charge of the communication. Which, for a motorcycle at 15,000 euros including tax bookable with a deposit of 750 euros without being able to try it, is a rather encouraging start !
On November 24 and 25, the first convention of Voxan dealers will take place in Issoire, which must face very strong pressure from competing manufacturers: beyond the felted carpet of multi-brand dealerships, it is indeed a real trench warfare which currently opposes manufacturers like Ducati, Buell or Voxan…
