APRILIA 550 CUSTOM ROAD SUPERMOTO QUAD - CARBON FIBRE / TITANIUM

The Whole machine is purpose built to be the best with the best materials and engineering solutions available. As you can see from a glance at the photos this Quad has been built with no budget and maintained in the same manner. This quad is being sold without Road registration but my contacts within the industry tell me its well possible to get it registered. i will of course supply details if the purchaser wants to go down this route.

The powerplant is the infamous Aprillia 550 Twin Cylinder engine with all the matched components to realise the optimum. The engine itself is a special order Factory motor direct from Aprilia. purchased new for the project. the motor is producing a slightly higher output than a standard 550 Twin (without any rpm increase but also to a better reliability via all internal factory parts and a Total blueprint of all components to assure a no imperfections or imbalances. the cost of the motor alone is greater than the price for which we are advertising this complete ready to ride bike! The concept behind the machine is not to gain overall performance by pushing the motor too hard but combining a powerful engine with a unique lightweight chassis to get the power down to the ground and not carry excess weight.

A full titanium top of the range Silmoto Exhaust system is fitted to optimise the power output and make her sound a total dream. if you havent heard one of these V twins running with one of these pipes. get straight on youtube and do a search for it. it will make any petrolhead fall in love!!

The Chassis is made from an Aerospace steel alloy. even with the large 2 cylinder motor. the whole bike is 139kg!!! Another trick feature of the machine is in order to keep the power to weight ratio at the best level. there is no fuel tank. instead the complete chassis is a series of connected tubes forming a large fuel holding tank which then feeds into a small chamber housing the fuel pump. The time and effort that when into forming this structure is untold and every weld is perfection.

Along with the chassis all the A-arms are made from the same exotic tubing. the uprights are all made to suit and matched with the best braking system all round. The rear swing arm is all billet aluminum and incredibility light and strong. Finished off with a fuel resistant laquer to prevent corrosion and make the ally shine through at all times. A full set of vacuum formed carbon fibre panels make the bike look the business and hardly add any weight at all.

The machine has around 11 hours on it from brand new and it shows in the condition. The engine oil and filter has been changed every ride (yes way over the top i know). The complete motor was sent to Germany to be rebuilt at 10hours use so only just run in again now.

As Supermoto race quads go. this is the best of the best. unique in design and superior to competitors in all aspects of required performance.

The machine has been recently checked over and stored with Superlite. manufacturers of Superlite singler seater race cars www. superlite. co. uk
