HOREX VR6 Models/Series Timeline, Specifications & Photos

The Horex VR was a naked motorcycle manufactured by Horex GmbH from 2012 to 2014 and by Horex Motorcycles GmbH since 2016. The Horex Motorcycles GmbH was a subsidiary of 3C-Carbon Group AG.

The bike was presented in 2010 at a press conference, and the company announced that production would start at the end of 2011. German designer Peter Naumann designed the machine, which was priced at over $21.450.

In 2016, the German motorcycle maker introduced the Horex VR6 Cafe Racer, a serial model that followed the unveiling of the exclusive special model, Horex VR6 Black Edition. The bike featured quality characteristics and was designed to make a statement.

The bike's visual department was characterized by standard features such as a round LED headlight up front, a single seat with a passenger seat cover, a six-into-two blacked-out exhaust system with two silencers mounted on the right-hand side, a side stand, and wire-spoke wheels.

Regarding power, the 2016 Horex VR6 Cafe Racer had installed a 1,218cc liquid-cooled six-cylinder engine at its core, boasting 160 hp at 8,500 rpm and 138 Nm (102 lb-ft) torque at 7,000 rpm.

The engine was fed by a multipoint injection system and assisted by a six-speed manual transmission, which sent the power to the rear end via a final chain drive.

The new HOREX VR6 Classic HOREX is the serial model following on the unveiling of the exclusive special model HOREX VR6 Silver Edition. The HOREX VR6 serial models are extraordinary feats of technical prowess in their own right and crafted with a quality characteristic of an exclusive, small-run series designed to make a statement.

Utilising the innovative VR6 cylinder concept, the HOREX VR6 Classic features state-of-the-art CFRP lightweight technology, select high-end components, exclusive materials and top-flight manufacturing quality.

The heart of the new HOREX is the VR6 engine, the world´s first and only motorcycle power plant to use this space-saving cylinder configuration. With a width of only 429 millimeters measured at the cylinder head, the VR6 is as narrow and compact as most four-cylinder engines.

The VR6 Roadster has a series of innovations including a clever and compact 1218cc six-cylinder engine. The bike produces 161bhp and a thumping 100ftlb of torque which comes in some impressively low rpm slugs.

The six-cylinder engine delivers 66ftlb of torque at 2000rpm, increasing to 74ftlb at 3500rpm.
