Who says the Germans don't have a sense of humour? They damn well do. In an age where so many motorcycle manufacturers are scrambling to earn green points and evaluating all kinds of battery-powered electric bikes, there's the Ronax 500, a two-stroke 500cc MotoGP bike for the road. And it's from Dresden, Germany.
Inspired by Valentino Rossi's Honda NSR500 of the early-2000s, the Ronax 500 is actually powered by a fuel-injected 500cc 2-stroke V4, which spits out 160 horsepower at 11,500rpm. An aluminium beam chassis, banana-tyre aluminium swingarm, fully adjustable Ohlins suspension and carbonfibre bodywork complete the package. And since dry weight is a mere 145 kilos, performance should be truly stratospheric, ja? Mein Gott, was haben die Deutschen das rauchen?!
With lights, indicators and rear-view mirrors etc., the Ronax 500 is fully road legal. Production will be limited to 46 units and the bike comes with a price tag of 100,000 euros, plus VAT as applicable. Put down a deposit of about 40,000 euros now, and your bike will be delivered to you in six months, during which you can also, if you wish, test a Ronax 500 on a racing circuit. Interested?
