Roehr RV1250sc Supercharged All-American Superbike - The American Alternative

Gurnee, Illinois' Roehr Motorcycles Looks To Shake Up The Sport Bike World With The Supercharged RV1250sc.American engineer Walter Roehrich thinks outside the norms-which is why his company is launching the world's first supercharged American superbike using the Porsche-designed V-twin engine from a Harley-Davidson V-Rod. This new all-American superbike joins the Australian-built Vee Two Super Squalo in bringing the supercharger system of forced induction to the two-wheel marketplace. But instead of the Super Squalo's format of converting an existing bike and clothing the result with streetfighter bodywork, Roehr is producing a complete from-the-ground-up product that-while also powered by a proprietary engine-also uses a different form of supercharging, housed in his own chassis design.
