Since only much smaller motorcycles had been manufactured in Brazil until then, the Amazon was received with enthusiasm. In 1978, the company started producing the Amazonas 1600 in three versions: A civilian, military, and police version.
The massive motorcycle was powered by the Volkswagen Beetle engine, and the disc brake system was also from Volkswagen do Brasil.
The air-cooled four-cylinder boxer engine was supplied with fuel by two 32 mm Solex carburetor. The displacement was 1584 cc the power output of the civilian version was stated to be up to 54 hp, the police version was said to have reached 68 hp at 4600 min-1.
