| Horex's profilation of this bike |
| The heart of the new HOREX is the VR6 engine, the world´s first and only motorcycle power plant to use this space-saving cylinder configuration. With a width of only 429 millimeters measured at the cylinder head, the VR6 is as narrow and compact as most four-cylinder engines.
