Despite the fact that the Roehr 1250sc started being delivered to to customers back in July, those in The Golden State had to wait while the bike passed CARB emission standards, which are more stringent than the rest of the US. Roehr has now announced that it has met these requirements, and can begin delievery of 1250sc‘s into California.
We once got an email from Walter Roehr that started with the phrase: “From your least favorite motorcycle manufacturer” and the proceeded with an appropriate press release format. While it may not have been true at the time of its utterance, with the untimely demise of Buell, Roehr may now find itself as A&R’s resident whipping boy. And while we may not be great fans of the 1250sc (we’d still like to swing a leg over one Walter), we’d certainly like the bike a whole lot more if $25,000 were lopped off the price tag, and that’s exactly what we have here in this story.
