The Boxer VB1: Ushering in a New Era for French Sport Bikes
The new French sport bike, the Boxer VB1, has been turning heads since its debut at the 1999 Mondial du deux roues. Now, this stunning machine is entering the final phase of its development, and motorcycle enthusiasts are eagerly awaiting its market release in the second quarter of 2001. Thierry Henriette, the mastermind behind this bold project, promises a bike that meets high expectations, both in terms of performance and price.
A Design Inspired by Voxan
The Boxer VB1 is built on the solid foundation of Voxan, a brand already respected in the motorcycle world. While many technical details remain under wraps, this sport bike is designed to compete with the best in the market. With an expected price around 106,000 F, it aims to captivate speed lovers and fans of sleek design.
Production and Availability
Thierry Henriette plans to establish the production site in Labège, near Toulouse. In its first year, 200 units of the VB1 are slated for production, showcasing the ambition and confidence in this new model. If initial reactions are positive, it’s easy to imagine a swift increase in production to meet demand.
Promising Future Versions
In addition to the sport version of the VB1, other variants are likely to follow quickly. There are already talks of a roadster in the spirit of the MV Agusta Brutale, but at a more affordable price. This strategy could allow Boxer to reach a wider audience and carve out a significant place in the two-wheeler market.
In Summary
The Boxer VB1 is shaping up to be a revolution in the world of French sport bikes. With a solid foundation, refined design, and local production, it has all the makings of a new benchmark. Motorcycle enthusiasts just need to wait until 2001 to experience this promising machine.
