https://youtu.be/cIm3_HDv8YE Never seen one of these before but I'd definitely have one....334bhp V8 with Akras, quality running gear, quality engineering by the looks of it and wow, listen to that... |

I'd have one if money were no object as a second bike to go my local cafe
If it were the same money as my Aprilia I'd have the Aprilia but the PGM would be great as a weekends occasional blast |

I really like it, its a euro lottery win kind of bike and a ridiculous price but looks awesomely engineered and I actually think it looks pretty good, certainly better than the other "boutique" bikes like the Lotus, Hesketh, Brough etc.... and it's got 2 R1 engines bolted together, what's not to like

I certainly seen a lot worse but a two litre v8 is gonna empty that tank in a lot less miles then a Tuono and I am currently pissed off with range.
Does look nicely engineered but that rad wont last long with debris etc being slung at it.

Looks ok as a concept but as a practical entity ?
If I had unlimited money I might build it for fun ,but I certainly wouldn't buy one |

Look up Norton Nemesis.
A bike way before it's time (at the time) This was in 1998. 1.5 litre V8. 235bhp. Push button gear shift, magnesium swingarm and wheels etc, rim mounted disc brakes and a lot more besides. 220 mph. 3 plugs per cylinder, imagine the cost on a V8! Such a shame it never made it to production. It very nearly did. But Norton were teetering on the brink of folding. 4 or 5 fully finished bikes were made though, I believe. |

Doesn't have the V8 noise............bit disappointing although an amazing feat of engineering.
I don't think you can beat a CBX1000 for sound though......... I would love one..........just out of my price range currently. If you want outrageous, then look at this one............... and lastly for all you fans of fat rubber out there.............. |
