A carbon-framed turbo-charged V-twin superbike has been unveiled by French manufacturer Boxer Design.
Called the Superbob, its 1000cc engine has been developed in partnership with Akira Technologies, the firm behind Inmotec's V4 MotoGP engine.
The Superbob makes a claimed 158bhp and weighs 175kg.
It was unveiled today at the Paris motorcycle show as a concept which will go into production in two years if well received.
Project Manager Albert Castaigne said: “All the toolings are ready for production but full development will take another two years.” He said the target price was £17,000.
Still 2 yrs to get the savings for this awesome bike :rockon:
I think, if it can be registered for the Belgian roads (it should be, as it's a French bike ) - and if I remember it in 2 yrs time - I'll definately am gonna get one :cheer:
Grtz,

Good luck....dont think it will ever see production! But as far as biking wet dreams go, i am sure this thing is worth the sweat!
Belt drive....
There are no advantages of a chain over a belt unless you do track days... and even then, most ppl that do trackdays for fun don't change the gearing anyway.
Belt = no maintenance
Belt = no goo projections everywhere
Belt = longer life
Belt = smoother
I think you may get 0.5HP more to the wheel with a chain, but who the hell cares about that...
I don't think this bike was designed for touring... and ppl who change their gearing on a regular basis on their bikes are a minority.
But hey, if you need 12 different gearing combinations for your FZ6, I can understand that any bike without a good old dirty chain would not be your cup of tea
