Introducing the 2014 Horex VR6 Classic, a remarkable blend of modern engineering and vintage aesthetics that pays homage to the rich heritage of German motorcycling. Positioned as a luxurious cruiser in the classic category, this motorcycle stands out with its unique V6 engine configuration, a rarity in the world of two-wheeled machines. Priced at €24,500, the Horex VR6 Classic is a statement piece for discerning riders who appreciate both craftsmanship and performance, making it a compelling choice for enthusiasts looking to own a piece of motorcycle history. At the heart of the VR6 Classic lies a powerful 1218 cc V6 engine that produces a robust 126 horsepower at 8,500 RPM, paired with an impressive torque of 120 Nm at 7,000 RPM. This combination allows riders to experience exhilarating acceleration and a top speed of 250 km/h (155.3 mph). The engine's liquid cooling system and turbo fuel delivery contribute to its efficiency, while the six-speed gearbox ensures smooth transitions through the gears. The bike's power-to-weight ratio of 0.4755 HP/kg enhances its agility, making it a joy to maneuver through winding roads and open highways alike. The 800 mm seat height provides a comfortable riding position, ensuring that both seasoned riders and newcomers can handle the bike with confidence. The Horex VR6 Classic boasts an array of advanced features and technology that elevate the riding experience. Its aluminum bridge frame provides both strength and lightweight maneuverability, while the WP USD front fork and Sachs rear suspension deliver exceptional stability and comfort, with 120 mm of travel at both ends. The braking system is equally impressive, featuring Bosch ABS with double disc brakes at the front and a single disc at the rear, ensuring confident stops even at high speeds. Available in a striking red finish, this motorcycle captures the essence of classic styling while incorporating modern elements that appeal to the contemporary rider. **
