Roehr Motorcycles

In 1995 Walter Roehrich began construction of the 500 cc two stroke v-twin motorcycle, using Yamaha YZ250 engine parts on a prototype crankcase. The result was the 115 hp Roehr Rv500 that was shown to the press in 2000. The company intended to manufacture the motorcycle in limited numbers but manufacturing the bike with the addition of the DFI fuel system was prohibitively expensive. Roehr introduced the V-roehr production motorcycle in March 2007. The bike is powered by a 180 hp supercharged Harley Davidson 1250 cc “Revolution” engine.
