Although German motorcycle Horex stopped producing bikes in 1950, the Horex VR6 marks their triumphant return to the spotlight. The Horex VR6 is powered by a specially-built six-cylinder VR6 1,200 cc engine and boasts 197 bhp and 110 pounds per foot of torque.
The Horex VR6 motorcycle also features a rubber belt at the rear wheel to ensure power delivery remains smooth. The bike will initially only be available in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, but let's hope this retro-modern design also makes it over to North America.
