When I say American motorcycle, you mean Harley-Davidson. If I say American sportbike, you mean Buell. What if we have to find an American hypersport, in the vein of the GSX-R and other ZXRs? Well, there is not much. Up to this V-Roehr 1250 SC. Finally, the States no longer only produce talented pilots; they also manufacture its pistardes…. in small distribution. Because the V-Roehr is not a mass production machine made by a big manufacturer. We are more in the presence of an enthusiast’s motorcycle, which will be built at a few dozen units per year, like Bimota…. no, rather Vertemati, Borile ….
Here you have a pure American, but the conception of which is more akin to the methods of Bimota or Feu Mondial. Besides, do not think that there are false tunes of 1000 Piega…. ? And the frame, doesn’t it remind you of the SB8K spars? Ready to race, stuck on its Marchesini rims, the V-Roehr is sleek, as it should for a machine of its ilk. But the style doesn’t cause the thrill. The 1250 SC seems to draw its design genes from major references, without finding its own personality. With air intakes and dual superimposed headlights, the fork crown looks like a mix of Yamaha R1 and the aforementioned Mondial Piega. With its single-sided and pots under the saddle, the carbon rear shell is not lacking in elegance and finesse, and furiously reminds us of the rear of an R1 or MV-Agusta F4. If the visual identity suffers, the way the V-Roehr is designed seems much more appealing to us.
Why am I telling you about the design method? Because if we come back to the two Italian manufacturers of a while ago, Bimota and Mondial, their chassis are homemade but the engines come from outside (Suzuki, Yamaha, Ducati, or Honda). The big liquid twin of the V-Roehr comes from Milwaukee, that is to say in the state next door. The ricans, make the rican there. Patriotism is rooted to them, and to power one of the very few American hypersports, Roehr took a heart of the country. A large heart open at 60 °, with 4 valves per cylinder, super-square dimensions…. A mechanic that we already know, because it comes from the famous V-Rod, the upsetting custom of Harley.
Japanese and Italian superbikes aren’t worried about it. The twin comes out 125 hp – the best blades on the chainring are all beyond 170 cannons. Do you believe that the Roehr workshops only installed the boiler in a frame…. ?!? Far from there. They grafted him a big pacemaker: a compressor. Enough to force-feed the engine with no response time. And blang! Uncle Sam’s sportswoman now announces 180 horsepower, and most importantly, a very large dose of torque, peaking at almost 16 mkg. This value obtained at 7600 rpm should not make us forget the essential: the compressor, a device which offers the engine much more availability, as if the muscle was no longer there, fuller, over a higher speed range. important. And then, if you want even more watts, a small adaptation of the mapping allows the compressed 1,250 to hit the 200 horsepower mark. The V-Roehr has just won supporters. This of course remains in the civilian domain or to have fun on the circuit. Because this machine can only take part in very few competitions. In SBK World, twins are limited to 1,200 cc. He still has the prototype category…. or the good graces of certain points of the rules – Buell did indeed win the American supersport championship in 2009 with an 1125 R….
But what is a power-packed sports car worth if the chassis doesn’t follow suit. On that side, we don’t have to worry. The frame of the V-Roehr consists of two chrome-molybdenum spars anchored to aluminum side plates. On these, we have provided enough to adjust the footrests to several heights. The suspensions? Ohlins front and back. At the end of the aviation hoses, 4-piston radial Brembo. And let’s finish with a pair of Akrapovic silencers. In short, there is good stuff and big watts on this sports car. Still, at 196 kg dry, overweight will be felt – the competition is 20 kg less, a considerable value in the industry.
The 1250 SC V-Roehr has a lot to offer, but mostly to have fun and not ogle the competition. An esthetic machine, not to be consumed like a Big Mac. Forget its ridiculous autonomy (12 liters in the tank) to focus on the beautiful parts and the promises of the American twin. And to have one? The usual brothel of importing a foreign machine, transport costs, homologation, taxes, VAT, plus a not very social tariff of 50,000 dollars.
