Engine
Though it is primary NR gave out only"125 h.p., from 800 quite probably to squeeze out all 150. For example, having established injection system PGM with 46мм a throttle, as on Honda 1000RR 2008.

Chassis
In variant of SuperStreetBike, a motorcycle is equipped with frame R6 (approached in the sizes to CBR600RR), and modifed stretcher GSX-R that it perfectly held engine V4. Wheels and brakes are borrowed at Ducati, and an adjustable back suspension bracket - from latest models Suzuki GSX-R. In a motorcycle air lines for competent colling of the engine are thought over.

At present, the company has collected new staff and is going to surprise us new workings out. We will look, whether can MZ begin to shine again in a close sky of the motor-market which is much covered as bright stars of the European and Japanese motor-giants, the promising Korean and Indian companies it is less, and incalculable scattering of the Chinese hardworking imitators and their importers.


Nevertheless, we will wish company MZ of good luck and we will count that shortly we will see some new models of motorcycles with the exclusive thought over design and a competitive technical component. By the way, on the hearings, a new management, considering a difficult economic situation, agrees about deliveries of some accessories with the Indian and Chinese companies. Really, if for BMW it is authorised to cut down expenses thus why and is not present for MZ?
