Czech manufacturer FGR showed up at the 2011 EICMA with its much-talked about Midalu FGR 2500 V6, giving us the chance to take a few pictures of this crazy 2.
5-litre naked.
The model has been developed with the support of the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Czech Republic, and it has been in the works for 6 years before finally getting unveiled in early 2011.
The main thing about it is certainly the engine, nothing less than a 2,442 cc 90° V6 engine, water cooled, producing 240 hp and about 200 Nm (147 ft-lb) of peak torque.
If all that is not enough, the look of this exotic bike is just as impressive: the lack of fairing let it shows off that monstrous shiny V6 mounted into a black steel tube frame.
Seat unit and fuel tank are made of carbon fiber, with a pair of vertical triple exhausts surrounding its short tail.
Front and rear suspension courtesy of Ohlins, braking system by Brembo and a dry weight of 270 kg complete the profile of this outstanding machine.
All that considered, we would expect the Midalu FGR 2500 V6 to sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in about 2.
5 seconds with a top speed of about 320 km/h, and also to be quite an expensive piece of machinery.
In spite of all these impressing figures, average fuel consumption claimed by FGR is not that bad: it consumes 6-8 liters of fuel to travel 100 km.
