Overview

Introducing the 1986 Amazonas A.M.E - 1600 cc, a motorcycle that epitomizes the spirit of classic touring bikes, blending robust engineering with a distinctive design that stands the test of time. As part of a limited production run of only 450 units, the A.M.E is not just a bike; it’s a collectible piece of motorcycle history. With its striking presence and unique aesthetic, it caters to enthusiasts who crave a blend of performance and touring comfort, making it a sought-after model among vintage motorcycle aficionados. At the heart of the Amazonas A.M.E lies a powerful 1600 cc four-cylinder boxer engine. This robust power plant churns out 56 horsepower at 4000 RPM, delivering a smooth and reliable ride that can tackle long distances with ease. The torque figures are equally impressive, generating 100 Nm at just 3000 RPM, ensuring you have the necessary grunt for those uphill climbs or overtaking maneuvers. With a top speed of 160 km/h (99.4 mph), this bike is built for the open road, providing a thrilling experience while maintaining a comfortable ride. The 4-speed gearbox, paired with a wet plate clutch, allows for seamless shifts, further enhancing the touring experience. The Amazonas A.M.E is equipped with a robust CrMo steel frame that contributes to its durability while providing a solid foundation for its suspension system. The front features a set of forks with a modest travel of 50 mm, paired with a WP Monoshock rear suspension offering 45 mm of travel, ensuring a balanced ride over varying terrains. The braking system is equally commendable, featuring double disc brakes with 2-piston calipers at the front and a single disc at the rear, providing reliable stopping power. With a generous fuel capacity of 40 liters (10.57 gallons), riders can embark on long journeys with confidence, knowing they won't be stopping for gas every few hours. Available in elegant color options of black, blue, and white, the A.M.E is as stylish as it is functional. **
