It seems that the inline-four super sport motorbike is not quite dead yet, as Voge presents the streamlined RR 666 S, a Chinese-manufactured vehicle that avoids the cross-plane dual-cylinder engine.
It’s unclear whether the Voge RR 666 S will ever leave China. Still, if it did, it would provide a desirable substitute for the horde of parallel twins since sports motorcycles with four-pot motors are becoming less common in the UK and Europe.
The Loncin Company owns Vogue, and while many of its motorcycles resemble scramblers or Honda CB500X clones, the new RR defies convention with its muscular and athletic appearance, LED headlamps, and even winglets!
Although the engine’s official characteristics and stats are unknown, the manufacturers are making impressive promises, such as a peak speed of 150 mph, a power output of 100 horsepower (98 bhp), and a 0 to 62 mph time of around 3.5-second. Despite its age, the 660cc inline-four engine still has double overhead camshafts, liquid cooling, 16 valves, and a redline of 14,000 rpm.
The bike’s frame seems to be a traditional twin-spar design that supports the engine as a stressed part, but the chassis sports KYB suspension and Brembo stoppers (at least on the front). It is also said that the bike would come with ABS and traction control; however, we are unsure whether this includes IMU control or is a more straightforward design until further details become available.
If the bike is produced in large quantities, it will compete with motorcycles such as the next Kawasaki ZX-4R, Aprilia RS660, and Yamaha R7. It would also satisfy the desires of individuals who prefer the rumbling of a parallel twin engine to the scream of an inline four-cylinder supersport bike. It remains to be seen whether anything is produced, much less makes it to the UK and Europe.
