The frame is built by the same company that built the Harley VR1000 superbike and the 650cc engine provides similar usable power as the Suzuki SV650. However, the top shelf suspension and components combined with superbike handling make the MRX an even more versatile bike than the legendary SV.

Check out the video after the break.

This weekend MotorWeek episode #2938‘s Two Wheelin’ segment will feature a test ride and report on the Fischer MRX650.

The Fischer MRX650 is a rare breed of high spec American sport bike. Premium brakes, wheels and suspension on a custom designed Grand Prix chassis with 650cc vTwin power in Glynn Kerr designed bodywork.

Check your local TV schedule and Tune in to MotorWeek this weekend (5/22 – 5/23) to see the show. Check out Fischer Motorcycles homepage for more information on the MRX650.

A Fischer dealer in Oklahoma is going out of business and has been authorized to sell his Fischer inventory on eBay. Up for bid with no reserve is the 5th MRX 650 off the assembly line.

Fischer motorcycles are built on a race ready chassis with body designed by Glynn Kerr. The MRX650 has Ohlins suspension and many top notch hard parts that you will never see on a bike with a $7999. Add to that cool tech features include fuel level, temperature, clock and performance timers. If you have ever ridden an SV650 you know they are a blast to ride and a common choice for a track day bike. Imagine an SV with sharper handling, lighter wheels, top shelf suspension and killer looks. Even at retail the MRX is a great value.

The current bid is $2600. Have a look and let us know if you pick it up. We expect a full review.

Press release: Fischer Motor Company Introduces Lower Seat-Height MRX

Pocomoke City, Maryland (March 19, 2010) – American motorcycle manufacturer Fischer Motor Company is pleased to announce a special new sport motorcycle with a lower seat height, the MRX 650 L.

Performance sport bike riders expect and demand sharp looks and great handling, but until now this has meant a high seat height that excluded some riders from being able to reach the ground when seated at a stop, or forcing these riders to ride cruisers. Sport motorcyclists can now ride on the street with style, comfort, and confidence on the Fischer MRX 650 L.

While visually almost identical to the beautiful MRX, the 650 L is more than just a lowered version, the MRX 650 L has new a suspension design developed upon the GP-based chassis and suspension geometry found on all Fischer motorcycles, but with innovative new linkage and a special Ohlins rear shock to provide progressive, compliant, and responsive feedback for maximum suspension performance. Just like the standard MRX and MRX SP, the MRX 650L features a powerful liquid-cooled, 90 degree V-twin engine, Ohlins suspension and Brembo brake components. With a comfortable, narrow seat at 27 inches high, the MRX 650L is perfect for more riders.

The MRX series features the unique Trellispar frame, the world’s only one-piece production motorcycle chassis. The Trellispar frame combines the best features from other types of frame construction to give riders a precision-tuned chassis. The MRX rider- and racer – will experience the precise front end feel and sensitivity of a trellis tube frame, but with the controlled rigidity of a twin spar frame. Created in America, the Trellispar frame is the centerpiece of the MRX line-up, and performs great on the street- and at the track. The MRX 650 L is the second of several planned models based on this sturdy platform.

Base price of the MRX 650L is $7999, and comes with many premium standard features found on motorcycles at twice the price.

Fischer Motorcycles are sold worldwide through Fischer distributors and dealers, and in the United States directly from the Fischer factory in Pocomoke City, Maryland. For more information, visit the Fischer Motor Company website at www.fischer1.com, or call the factory at 410-957-3840

Back in 2003 Dan Fischer set out to create the first American sport bike of the modern era. Originally slated to be a Rotax powered 1000cc VTwin the direction changed for a smaller, less expensive 650cc power plant by Hyosung. The Fischer MRX 650 eventually became a Glynn Kerr designed sportbike combines the versitility of a 650cc 90 degree VTwin engine with high end components and exotic design to deliver a unique, affordable, fun to ride machine.

The Hyosung loyal motorcyclists of Korider.com have been lusting over the bike since pictures of it in development started surfacing in 2003. This summer the American made Fischer MRX650 started shipping to customers around the world. Chris Chase of Tulsa Cycle Supply, a guy who has been tuning and racing the Hyosung 650 vTwin for over 5 years has been posting pictures of the bike and bringing forum members up to speed with the many high quality details.

Chris describes the bike saying:

They ride great and the handling is awesome, I can definitely say they are very easy to ride and confidence inspiring . All of the US units are getting fully synthetic oil out of the box, every one is checked and ridden prior to being delivered. Standard equipment on these units are Hella lights, Brembo master cylinder, Ohlins rear shock, custom hand crafted seat, roller bearings on head tube and swing arm assembly, Woodcraft licensed clip-ons, EK gold 525 o-ring chain, LED tailight, Koso full programmable instrument cluster with shift light and multi function LCD screen and color selection, Bridgestone tires, braided brake lines front and rear, and full stainless exhaust.

It retails for $7999.99 USD and goes up from there as most parts can be customized. Below is a video of the MRX 650 in action.
