The focus of the company was mainly small and medium capacity motorcycles but this month production started of a new large capacity sporting machine dubbed the 1000 S.
Powered by a 998cc parallel twin cylinder engine the 1000SS is claimed to offer 84kw (115hp) at 9,000rpm with 98 N-m of torque arriving at 7,000rpm. MuZ claim that this engine can propel the 210 kilogram 1000 S to 100kph in only 3.4 seconds.
Fuel is fed to the eight valve engine from a 20 litre tank by an electronic fuel injection system. A six-speed cassette style gearbox helps transfer the drive to the 180/55-ZR17 rear tyre via a right side chain final drive.
The duplex tubular frame is made from Chromium-Molybdenum and is suspended by fully adjustable 43mm inverted front forks. An attractive aluminium cantilever swingarm is controlled by a single shock with full rebound and compression damping adjustments and the handy feature of hydraulically adjustable spring preload.
Braking components are sourced from the well respected Nissin company with a pair of four-piston calipers gripping 320mm discs at the front and a 240mm disc at the rear.
