The Fischer MRX may be gorgeous, but it’s no high-maintenance Prima Donna. The MRX was designed from the very beginning to be a rider’s motorcycle, one that can log hard miles because it’s comfortable, easy to ride, and solidly put together.

When you walk up to the MRX, you’ll be awed by the beautiful lines. Climbing aboard you’ll appreciate the comfortable seat and riding position, and the high-tech rider communications pod, with the large, backlit tachometer, the cool light tracers that follow the tach needle, the digital speedometer, multiple temperature gages for coolant and oil, and the fuel level gage. Built in lap, zero to 60, zero to 100, and 1/4 mile timers make this a fun track bike, too.

What’s It Like To Ride?

The engine fires to life willingly, and within a minute it’s choke ’off’ and ready to roll. As you pull away you’ll notice just how easy it is to ride a torquey V-twin around town- the MRX pulls from anywhere in the rev range. The confidence-inspiring light weight and low chassis make for a fun ride. From 3,000 to 10,000 RPM, the MRX has power on demand.

In the curves the MRX shines again. The mass is set so low and centralized that it seems as though the bike can read your mind- it turns in that willingly. And when leaned over it is just plain stable; the multi-adjustable inverted forks and Ohlins rear shock soaking up any bumps. The MRX has zero tendency to stand up under braking when leaned over, inspiring greater confidence than any bike you’ve ridden- it’s really that good. The chassis was derived from the Harley Davidson VR1000 Superbike. As developed by Championship-winning road racers Miguel Duhamel, Scott Russell, and Doug Chandler, the VR1000 Superbike was considered perhaps the best chassis package in all of motorcycle racing, derived as it was from the GP bikes of the era. You can feel that legacy on the MRX. While the rear shock is a well-sorted Ohlins unit and the compliant inverted front forks with compression and rebound adjustments really let you enjoy the GP-like chassis geometry.

The MRX is solidly built, light weight, with a great chassis and suspension, and a smooth, powerful motor, all in a beautiful, exotic package at a great price. That’s the MRX- The American Exotic.

Peugeot RC

The RC concept was designed at the Peugeot Style Centre. Intended as a true enthusiasts car, the real innovation lay in the fact that the car was designed as an "affordable" sports car. The Peugeot RC was the concept car that paved the way for the 2008 Peugeot RC HYmotion4 concept. Peugeot used the 2002 RC concept to compare performance and economy differences between comparable petrol and diesel engines. As an affordable sports car the RC had to deliver not only in terms of price, but there was the engine, the size and running costs, as well as driver comforts to consider. A wide panoramic windscreen and the cab forward seating helps the driver see all around the car and compensates for the effect caused by the length of the car. In the Petrol vs. Diesel experiment, Peugeot aimed to prove that an HDi engine could match the performance levels achieved from a petrol engine. And to demonstrate that it was not unreasonable to put an HDi engine in a sports car. The 2 resulti...

KTM X-Bow Superlight

The extensive use of bare carbon fibre has kept the weight to a minimum The KTM X-Bow Superlight is one of the variants of the KTM X-Bow model range. As the name suggests the Superlight is the lightest model in the range - but not by much, the base model KTM X-Bow is just 5 kg (11 lbs) heavier. Although the Superlight is a full 40 kg (88 lbs) lighter than the GT4 version. The weight reductions to the KTM X-Bow Superlight have been made possible through the extensive use of carbon fibre. The monocoque structure with integrated crash protection is composed entirely of carbon fibre and left unpainted to show of the carbon fibre weave. The few body panels which are fitted to the X-Bow Superlight are also formed from carbon fibre. Additional weight savings were also achieved through the use of unique light-alloy wheels finished in a dark lacquer. Powering the KTM X-Bow Superlight is the same Audi-sourced 2.0 litre turbocharged engine found in all the X-Bow models. This engine puts out 24...

Maserati Ghibli vs BMW 6 Series : Which Will You Buy?

When considering vehicles like Maserati Ghibli and the BWM 6 Series Gran Coupe, both reflect an effort toward blending dignified luxury with exhilarating performance. Though beholding vehicles of this caliber is always an exercise most fruitfully left to the natural eye, the image above serves as a simple example of each sedan’s inherent dignity. In lieu of experiencing each vehicle’s performance profile from behind the wheel, the table provided similarly works to demonstrate what both Ghibli and BMW’s 6 series have been engineered to accomplish. Comparing the Maserati Ghibli vs. BMW 6 Series in this regard yields a number of important emphases. Local clients will notice that both vehicles develop their identity around six-cylinder engines with a pair of strategic turbochargers. Yet regardless of identical displacement and analogous induction technology, Maserati serves its Ghibli clients with significantly greater quantities of horsepower and torque. In addition to t...
