It's been a while that we've seen any motorcycle manufacturer coming from the country of milk, cheese and lots of speeding tickets. The last one I remember is the electric motorcycle, the Quantya {link}. That motorcycle was really innovative.
Now, the surprising Swiss are working on a "normal" motorcycle.
Named DUSS (after its creator Roland Duss), the motorcycle has a 90° V2 engine, developping 120 hp.
The motorcycle is a SuperMotard style bike, ie, road, track and off-road capabilities.
The motorcycle only weights 145 Kgs, so with its 120 hp, I'd dare say it's fast.
The design is a bit spartan, specially if you consider that its competition is Ducati's HyperMotard.
Not much else is known about the motorcycle. Their own website is like the motorcycle, spartan. A lot is still under construction.
Price: Not cheap CHF 42,990 (or about € 26,500 or US$ 35,000 at today's exchange rates).
Not exactly a price for a motorcycle you'd use as second bike.
No information is currently available on availability, deliveries and dealers.
