VOXAN CHARADE

[zadok]

Nice looking bike from the Paris show. I hadn't heard of a French company by that name. The bike looks great. Only 179kg for a 996cc V-Twin. I like what they have done with the exhaust and the colour scheme looks great.

AMPS in Auckland sell them
The motor was designed for the V rod but Harley didn't take it on.
Wasn't primitive enough

Not any more.
I tested the Cafe Racer for Kiwi Rider. Not a bad bike - very stable on the road and looked quite nice.
Engine wise there was not a lot of difference between one and a V-rod.
I also think V-rods go great. Just don't have enough ground clearance for NZ. Street rod is a different story. Yummmm!

I presume that was a joke? Couldn't see Harley putting a frog engine in their bikes. They'd rather croak first.

But serious. I wonder if it was because of the anti French sentiment floating over the US because of the French criticism of the US Iraq invasion. Just a thought.

Why has nobody mentioned the chick on the bike yet... shes the best thing on that bike from where I'm sitting.

[zadok]

I'd like to see some actual pics of the bike when they are available. That looks like an artists impression.

Fixed for truth.

[Coyote]

Fixed for truth.
It doesn't look that bad. Still not great though. The header pipes look a bit daft

I might be wrong....but I heard porsche had alot to do with designing the V-rod engine...?????

[zadok]

Thanks mate. It's about time I had another trip over there.

I still haven't worked it out yet.

The voxan just lacks excitement. The quality is there.
Maybe it's just a middle- aged farts bike?
