Münch TTE 2 by Muench Electric Racer

Münch TTE 2

From 2012, privateer teams all over the world can race a Münch, no less than the 2012 version developed from the successful e-bike Münch TTE 2 that carried factory rider Matthias Himmelmann to win the 2011 FIM International Championship as well as the TTX GP World Championship.

For the 2012 the championship-winning team will not only build a heavily revised and improved version of the 2011 MÜNCH TTE 2 but also – as the first e-bike manufacturer in the racing world – a limited series of 9 production racers.

By consequent use of lightweight technology , the bike's weight has been considerably reduced to little over 210 kgs - race ready, including Lithium based battery pack for the three-phase electric engine boasting 80 kW in power, maximal torque of 470 Nm on the back axle available over the entire race distance.
With a MÜNCH TTE 2 you get the licence to take part in the FIM INTERNATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP and the TTX GP. For the 2012 season, the hand built production racers will be leased to innovative teams and riders to allow them to compete on the highest international level. Free choice of sponsors for both, teams and riders, allow them to cooperate with other companiesand  accelerate technical progress thus closing the loop of sustainable mobility.

Like in 2011, the races will be held on international circuits of high renown, such as Le Mans or Laguna Seca, and the TTXGP race weekends will be shown on TV and on the internet in the USA, Europe and Asia. Races for the FIM International championship will be partly held along with the MotoGP World Championship.

2012 BMW G650GS Sertao

2012 BMW G650GS Sertao

Price Range: $8650 to $8950

Named after the dry, hot region in Northeastern Brazil of the same name, BMW wanted to re-infuse the current 650 with the same adventurous spirit it gave to the F650GS in 2000 when the F650GS Dakar was crafted in honor of BMW’s successes in the Paris-Dakar Rally.

The 652 cc, 35 kW (48 hp) single cylinder with liquid cooling, fuel injection, double ignition, and closed loop catalytic converter delivers a powerful acceleration.  Its strengths are spontaneous throttle response, refined riding properties thanks to the balancer shaft, and very low fuel consumption.

counterbalanced Thumper to offset vibration inherent in a single-cylinder engine architecture.
