Fischer Motor Company releasing a new bike. I think it will appeal to a lot of prospective sprotbike folk. I like the look of it.

Looks great, although that seat is a bit silly looking

It needs a real engine

[Batcerb]

looks fun tho ...

[Wasp]

ooooh, yellow and black :blip:

[Hitcher]

A back seat specially made for pillions with piles.

Hey al, is that in informed comment? What would you consider a real engine?

[Coyote]

Hey al, is that in informed comment? What would you consider a real engine?
Course not

And a real engine would be 2 hayabusa engines fused together to create a V8, and then have several turbochargers attached to it

[Deano]

Looks like a cross between an R1 and a Benelli Tornado to me.

But all sports bikes look the same anyway....eh....?

Just add a couple of wings......

[quickbuck]

A High-Torque power band?

What? As opposed to a Low-Torque powerband?

[RantyDave]

Look at the tank/gonads interface .... wouldn't want to crash that!

seen this before somewhere, would call repost but im not sure where i saw it.

[limbimtimwim]

Yes, you have seen it before.

I was merely posting the email that I got from them indicating some form of regular production of said motorcycle.

[Ghost Lemur]

Don't understand it.

They're obviously trying to make it look like an Italian machine. MV, Benelli, etc.

It's using a Hyosung engine. Nothing against them, but not exactly top of the line.

Seems like a waste of time, with nothing original to offer. Hell I'd got as far as to say nothing to offer at all. Can't see too many Americans buying this just because it's "American".

The Buell I can understand.

The Fisher is a cheap knock off that isn't going to be cheap. Worst of both worlds.

[limbimtimwim]

I think it does have something to offer.

I think its purpose is to be an small bike with racey chassis. Since the death of the 400cc inline 4s (And the Honda V4s) and the 250 2-strokes nothing has really existed since that could take their place. The SV650 and ER-6, fine vehicles I am sure, are not the out and out sports bikes that they have sort of replaced. While a modern 600cc inline 4 (Or 675 triple, or 750 twin...) is 'small' they are still bigger and heavier than an old school 250 or 400.

I'd really like a go on one. I am hoping/wondering if it would out-boogie my gsxr or rvf.

Now in production. Latest article here:

Interesting to note the motor is based on the Hyosung 650.

[Coyote]

Sounds pretty trick. Looks awesome too

[Timber020]

Looks like a stealth bomber, if its invisable to radar, im in!

[hXc]

I like it! *Drool*

[Hillbilly]

it's gone into production! The Hyosung powered Fischer MRX 650 concept for the US, and it's beautiful! These are the same guys linked to American Legend Motorsports.

Check out the specs here:

Below are a some pictures including a pre-production test ride. Note that it's lot smaller than the GT650R and close to a Triumph Daytons 675. I'm certainly impressed ! Gee, and it's eligible for F3 and the 650 twins classes.

[zadok]

Already a thread about this.

[Hillbilly]

Love the performance options though. it's not the price, but more that thy've been able to take the Hyo engine, and build a better bike. Remember that cagiva were also considering that engine for the Raptor.

Maybe Fischer can help Hyosung produce better bikes.
