Voxan VX10 Nefertiti
If you have a penchant for naked V-twins, the exotic Voxan VX10 might be for you, a French creation named after a famous queenMid-way through 2010 we reported that niche French motorcycle maker Voxan would live to see another day and even had plans to develop its first electric motorcycle.
While the zero emission two-wheeler has not been spotted yet, and isn't expected to arrive until 2013, the Voxan VX10 Nefertiti has been on sale in Europe for a short while now, and with a name that, we just couldn't resist.
Named after the famous Egyptian queen who kick started a religious craze, the Voxan VX10 Nefertiti is priced at 12,500 Euros (which is about $20,000 in local currency) and features a bespoke design that has echoes of the Triumph Speed triple and Suzuki Gladius.
The naked French bike has been fitted with a bold twin headlight design and the rear shock lives underneath the crankcase, adding to its unconventional look and feel.
Power for the naked bike comes from a 996cc V-twin, liquid-cooled and fuel-injected, and it bangs out 100hp (74kW) and 82Nm of torque, which is filtered through a six-speed manual gearbox. The VX10 tips the scales at 221kg (wet) and has been designed to rival the likes of the Triumph Speed Triple, KTM 990 Super Duke and the like.
It has an 18.6lt fuel tank and twin 320mm brake rotors fitted to the front wheel are bitten by Brembo brake callipers.
But is the French Voxan worthy of an Egyptian Queen? You be the judge.
