2010 Roehr 1250SC First Ride - Other Sportbike Motorcycle Review - Motorcycle USA




One man, a shed and a dream. This sums up the Roehr 1250SC pretty well. But where most would think this implies shoddy engineering and seat-of-the-pants design, take a quick look at the quality and fit and finish of the American-made V-Twin Superbike and one can’t help but be impressed. It really is quite staggering. Keeping this in mind as you ride the supercharged Harley-Davidson V-Rod-powered sportbike and the level of performance is just plain awesome. But the key is to do exactly that and not try and compare it to the million-dollar-plus engineered Japanese or Italian sportbikes, because, well, that’s just not fair to the one man, his shed or his dream.

American-Made Muscle
The Roehr is kind of like a supped-up Mustang or Ford GT. It’s 100-percent American made and beating at the heart of the beast is a liquid-cooled, big-bore V-Rod engine with a supercharger on it, much like those fast-Fords. Why a V-Rod you might ask? Well, despite the fact it’s made for a cruiser and quite heavy, according to Roehr it’s engineered to be durable and for the most part it’s about the only decent American-made engine capable of making the kind of power they wanted for this bike.
