Overview

Introducing the 2016 Horex VR6 Snowdance, a unique and daring naked bike that stands out in the motorcycle market with its striking design and innovative engineering. This limited-edition model, with only one unit ever produced, encapsulates the spirit of German craftsmanship, offering riders a blend of performance, style, and exclusivity. The VR6 Snowdance is not just a motorcycle; it’s a statement piece that appeals to both collectors and enthusiasts alike who appreciate the art of two-wheeled engineering. At the heart of the Horex VR6 Snowdance is its impressive 1218cc V6 engine, a hallmark of the brand's commitment to high-performance motorcycling. This four-stroke powerhouse produces a robust 167.7 horsepower at 8800 RPM and a commanding torque of 138 Nm at 6800 RPM, ensuring exhilarating acceleration and a top speed of 250 km/h (155.3 mph). The turbocharged Rotrex radial compressor enhances the engine's performance, delivering a thrilling ride that is both responsive and dynamic. The silky-smooth 6-speed gearbox, combined with a multi-disc oil bath clutch, offers seamless gear shifts, allowing riders to experience the full potential of this remarkable machine on both city streets and open highways. The VR6 Snowdance doesn’t just stop at engine performance; it’s packed with advanced technology and features that elevate the riding experience. The aluminum bridge frame, complemented by a CFRP subframe structure, provides a lightweight yet sturdy chassis that enhances agility and handling. The Öhlins suspension system, featuring an upside-down front fork and TTX36 GP mono shock, ensures superb ride quality and control, whether tackling twisty mountain roads or cruising down the highway. Coupled with powerful Bremo brakes, riders can count on precise stopping power, thanks to the dual-disc front and single-disc rear setup, both equipped with ABS for added safety. **
