Built around Horex's naked motorcycle platform, the 2011 Horex VR6 Roadster features a 1218 cc (74.3 cu in) liquid-cooled v6, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 200 HP (146 kW) at 8,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 150 Nm (110.6 lb-ft), transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and belt final drive. With a specific output of 164.2 HP per liter, the engine character is placing it firmly in high-revving supersport territory where top-end breathing dominates.
On the scales, the VR6 Roadster measures 239 kg (527 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.84 HP/kg (1.2 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 800 mm (31.5 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,475 mm (58.1 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 20-liter (5.3 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints, while factory top speed is listed at 250 km/h (155 mph).
