2023 Horex VR6 Raw Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown
Built around Horex's custom - cruiser motorcycle platform, the 2023 Horex VR6 Raw pairs a 1218 cc (74.3 cu in) liquid-cooled v6, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 161 HP (117.5 kW) while maximum torque reaches 128 Nm (94.4 lb-ft), transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 132.2 HP per liter, the engine character is reflecting a performance-oriented street tune that balances strong mid-range pull with an energetic top-end rush.
On the scales, the VR6 Raw measures 220 kg (485 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.73 HP/kg (1.37 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 740 mm (29.1 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,475 mm (58.1 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 17-liter (4.5 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
