Motorcycle Forum / General / Sportbikes / August 2006Water cooled American sportbike available!
$8000.00 retail. 650 Vtwin. 77 HP weighing in the mid 300s. They have a lighter race version too. No FI though. It has Ohlins on the rear. Don't know about the forks. Perhaps Showa? http://www.fischer1.com/ Specs: http://www.fischer1.com/fischer-mrx-motorcycle-specifications-2006.htm All in all looks like a nice first effort.

Cost as much as that Korean 650 I saw in Cycle world. Maybe a little more. The Ohlins shock is a nice touch though.

HP figures vary, but stock they put out mid to high 60s, I believe, and you can tune them to around mid 70s. At least that's what I've been told by some reliable SV tuner type people.

Yeah, my 2000 model (carbureted) with a jet kit, pipe and some dyno-tuning makes ~73 RWHP.

That's what Karri wants to do to her 2002 SV650S. On a related note, we just installed her Woodcraft rearsets today, replacing the somewhat bent OEM units. Well, I installed them as she kept me company and handed me tools from the workbench, and brought cold beer into the garage. How romantic, eh? :) SignatureJamin "I don't want a pickle..." >>> $8000.00 retail. 650 Vtwin. 77 HP weighing in the mid 300s. They have >>> a lighter race version too. No FI though.

The motor was designed by the same guy who designed the SV650 motor iirc. Cool! 2007 Fischer motorcycle, mrx650a $7,999.00 GP front end, includes Ohlins Superbike front forks, ultra-light cast wheels, and complete Brembo radial mount front brake package. includes necessary spacers and hardware, installed if purchased with MRX. $4,999.00 Passenger kit, includes seat, footpegs, additional heat shield, and comes with all brackets and hardware $299.00 US Freight (The Fischer MRX comes crated with some set-up required) $399 Total: $13,696 Unfortunately, I just bought an '07 Ducati S4Rs for less than a thousand dollars more than that, out the door. Damn. Timing is everything in this life! > US Freight (The Fischer MRX comes crated with some set-up required) > $399 [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > Damn. Timing is everything in this life! Sheeesh, Tim now I really want to buy that Duc (inspite of the fact the marketing dweebs call it "entry level", morons). Don't get me wrong, I LIKE the idea of an American Sport Bike. But this ain't no American bike. Hell, people pay a premium for H-D. I'd like to see an American sourced engine and frame. I will accept out sourced brakes, shocks, forks. I can dream.

Until then...it isn't an american bike. So they put together a frame, big friggin deal. Give me drawings of an engine with all the necessary and I can put a frame around it in an afternoon. It isn't all that terribly difficult...especially when there are plenty of existing bikes to look at for inspiration... -- Stephan 2003 Yamaha R6 kimi no koto omoidasu hi nante nai no wa kimi no koto wasureta toki ga nai kara >>>> US Freight (The Fischer MRX comes crated with some set-up required) >>>> $399 [quoted text clipped - 25 lines] >significant component designed ***AND PRODUCED*** in the US, I will be >willing to call it an American Bike...

Well, if it's made with imported steel, imported engine and transmission subassemblies, imported electrical parts, imported brake and suspension parts, in a production line made up of imported tooling, by a company that is foreign owned, for which the majority of the profits go to foreign investors, I would call it a foreign motorcycle. I bought a BMW car that was assembled in South Carolina. It was a German car. I currently own a Chevy truck that was assembled in Mexico. It's an American truck. The bike in question in this thread strikes me as a Chinese motorcycle. >> US Freight (The Fischer MRX comes crated with some set-up required) >> $399 [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > > Bryan Well, Buells now have their frames made here in the USA. Used to be built in Italy IIRC. So the motor/tranny/frames are produced here. But probably not what you're looking for :) >>> US Freight (The Fischer MRX comes crated with some set-up required) >>> $399 [quoted text clipped - 21 lines] >built in Italy IIRC. So the motor/tranny/frames are produced here. But >probably not what you're looking for :) Steve lets get the record straight for the kiddies in here. All Buells from 2002 on down had frames made in America. It was when the Firebolt arrived when Verlicchi was building frames for Buell in Italy. The nice trellis chrome moly Buell frame was made here and if it were up to me they would still be building a tube framed model.
