That Loncin’s premium brand, Voge, had a 650 cc sports model on the way was a well-known fact, and we had already told you about it before the summer. The model had the provisional name of Infinity RR660 and the data released at a Voge convention spoke of 100 hp of maximum power for the four-cylinder engine, which reached 13,000 rpm.
A few days ago, the bike was presented in its definitive version at the CIMA show in China, with the suggestive name of RR666S, a very aggressive acronym reminiscent of “The Number of The Beast” and, in addition to the Book of Revelation, the immortal song by the historic heavy metal band Iron Maiden.
In short, Voge doesn’t mince words and “bangs its fist on the table” with a very complete motorcycle, capable of reaching and exceeding 240 km/h, with a top speed of over 100 km/h on the track and acceleration from 0 to 100 km/ in 3.5 seconds.
The motion control unit and cornering ABS are present, with a front braking system with Brembo radial calipers, single-sided swingarm, under-engine exhaust system, steering damper, Kayaba suspension, aerodynamic wings on the fairing and Pirelli tires. Neither the weight nor the price have yet been announced.
Less clear is the frame material (steel or aluminum?) and it’s probably too early to ask whether we’ll see it in Portugal: the 4-cylinder supersport segment has been hit hard by the anti-pollution regulations and the market now seems to have focused on 700/900 cc mid-displacement sports bikes, with affordable costs and a performance of around 80/100 hp, a far cry from the 110+ hp of the latest 600 cc models.
To date, the only “road-legal” 600 cc supersport bike we can expect in Europe is the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R, a 636 cc four-cylinder engine that produces, with the Ram Air system under pressure, 129 hp at 13,000 rpm.
