My opinion? Ugly, the idea was good but the product is very far of what we wait for a « beautiful sport bike... It looks like a messed up chinese bike. It is an addition of things seen on other bikes and the result is a thing that looks like nothing... And the name... « Roehr », its like the sound we make when we see it. It could be the best handeled bike in the world, It could be the most powerful, but will I never ride one of those, because event My Beta Motard 4.0 is more cute. Sorry mister Roehrich, I am just honest with you, just the opposite of your partners that have said to you that this bike is beautiful...
