In addition to all the autogeweld was on Geneva’s enough stuff with less than four wheels, that also worth visiting.
Another trend that we noticed at the Geneva motor show. Car manufacturers etaleerden flashy their two-wheelers on the show floor. Take Audi for example. Since she was the new owner of Ducati are, they drag those things everywhere. BMW does this with BMW Motorrad, but that’s been going on since 1923. And Honda was originally a motorenbouwer, which later also on cars committed. And then we have Peugeot, who have been a piece of the motorscootermarkt trying to pick up.
Therefore, we have for the car enthusiast who likes to be with a snazzy helmet and into the leather lifts with an overview of the tweewielespul from Geneva. In order of the gallery are:
- Ducati Multistrada 1200 S: stood, of course, to stand at mother’s Audi. Italian counterpart of the very successful BMW R1200GS, over the years, fortunately, pieces handsomer.
- Lazareth Wazuma R1: a pretty unique take on the theme of ‘quadricycle’. At first glance, this seems to be a kind Piaggio MP3 XXL, but looks can be deceiving. The Wazuma has two rear wheels. Weird. Technically based on the Yamaha R1, so around 180 hp.
- Honda RC213V-S: directly derived from the machine that the past few years is dominant in the MotoGP. Has a 1000cc V4 between the cowling and share various techniques with the racert, so you understand why the price tag in the direction of the one and a half tons.
- Honda VFR800X CrossRunner: type of crossover on two wheels, with a 800cc V4.
- Honda Forza: 125cc motor scooter with CVT. Excel as you probably already expecting more in practicality than in pure sexiness.
- BMW S1000XR: the Bavarian manufacturer does with this S1000XR an attempt to the the aforementioned Multistrada hard to make. Has a pretty heetgebakerde 1000cc four-cylinder à 160 hp between the wheels.
- BMW R1200R: BMW Motorrad concepts a pretty daring design. Happy he is with a good old 2-cylinder boxer engine and a driveshaft. This ‘Rock & Roll Roadster’, such as the BMW ‘m calls it, is good for 110 hp and 119 Nm.
- Peugeot Speedfight 4: of the popular Speedfight through the years and generations, over half a million copies sold. The latest generation, number four already, in the first half of this year towards the dealer.
- Peugeot Django Evasion: 125 cc motor scooter with a fairly high retrogehalte. In one of the four versions can be ordered, with everyone a character of its own.
- Peugeot Metropolis: in contrast to the Lazareth, this is, however, a real three-wheeler, 400cc, that is. Will probably be eager to find outlets in and around the larger cities around the Mediterranean sea.
