It's a small Italian firm that made hugely successful 50cc GP bikes for a while, and even had some success with larger bikes, and for some reason theowner just decided to make a 1000cc, v-8 road-going bike. It bombed.

Might have had something to do with the service schedule (pack it up in the provided crate and ship it back to Italia). Never made it to production.

I can see how that might scare off a few buyers.

Voxan Cafe Racer...2001?

PhiSig1071 · 11-12-2008, 07:32 PM

That's a tough one, it was originally a street bike, based on the pegs, key and controls, but looks like it's got track plastics on it now. It's a few years old, the tires are older style power races, plus the brembo calipers are older style, those haven't been made for a few years.

Older Bimota?

Edit, yep, it's a Voxan

We have a winner.

I don't actually know which year this one is, but 2001 sounds close enough.

Yeah, this particular bike was being raced at the IOM TT.

Hmmm.

Looks crappy. I'll say it's a Hyosung.

650?
