with Australia's "anti-bikie" law it may be a lonely ride |

Top speed is rated at "How brave are you?" I'm rated at all the way stupid. So, what will the gears run out to at red line. Does it have enough power to push that deformed pringles radiator to the limit? Looks like another tippy toe bike for me. Could be fun on the salt with a fairing. |

Maybe the rad would look better in side pods? |

Reminds me of that nutter in England that was grafting japbikes together. They looked reeeeally good. Inline-5 Kawasaki H2? Do an image search for "Allen Millyard" |

Very nicely done, good looking all around. Kinda makes me wonder if instead of a 2L motor if they could've done with 1200cc or 1500cc, and done more to make the weight drop... plus, I get it why the radiator has to be ginormous, but it's fugly. I like the Motus S/T a bit more. Why haven't more designs tried to place the radiator under the bike, for aesthetics? Airflow and damage mitigation could surely be managed well in that position... |

Ultimate status symbol for those who can afford one. I'll bet Jay Leno already has one in Jays Garage. I DO like it considerably. It does look like they are asking for input to see if production would be profitable. Boy would I like to ride the "Salt" once again on that! Bob......in Utah. |

180k is the price, its a v8 version of the 5 valve R1 it also seems to have an 04-06 R1 swing arm. Take a close look. |

Hi Edward, Thanks very much for your interest in the PGM V8. The bikes are made to order with a current price of USD$180K. There is a delivery time of approx 12 months but we are working to reduce this time. As for dropping 50lbs, consider for a moment just what you are getting for this weight and then compare this to any of the big dual purpose trailies around at the moment.... Kind regards Paul G Maloney info@pgmv8.com.au cid:image001.jpg@01D0EA21.55A1C5B0 |

What amazes me most about this bike is how well developed it appears to be. |

And that there is actual hardware and not just computer graphics. |
