Fischer Motorcycles

Fischer Motor Company (sometimes rendered "Fisher") was a small American motorcycle manufacturer founded by Dan Fischer, a former AMA road racer, who began developing the company's only production model, the MRX 650, after retiring from racing in 2000. Built around a Hyosung 650cc liquid-cooled V-twin engine in a chassis designed by Glyn Kerr - drawing on the Harley-Davidson VR1000 and contemporary MotoGP machines - the MRX went into limited production in the mid-2000s with a base price of $7,999 and premium components including Brembo brakes and Ohlins forks. Motorcyclist magazine's Alan Cathcart called it "the most important new American motorcycle in generations," but the MRX remained a low-volume, specialist sportbike rather than a mass-produced model.
