Rumours over naked Nefertiti
Rumours are rife that French motorcycle manufacturer Voxan is planning a new naked bike called the Nefertiti.
Visordown.com says “the latest Voxan will feature the company’s ubiquitous 1000cc V-twin engine, along with a new-look dual-stacked headlight arrangement. Power and weight figures have yet to be confirmed.” Voxan say the Nefertiti won’t go into full production until the financial crisis is over.
