A blindingly gorgeous 4.2 Cerbera...

AJP8, 4.2 litres, 360bhp, 180mph

Comes with a very good history

Showing just 57,000 miles on the odometer

The engine was rebuilt at a cost of £8,000 a mere 3000 miles ago

Has been well cared for and 'Waxoyled' underneath

boy with BIG bucks. This machine has had just shy of $45,000 lavished upon it, to further enhance what was, to begin with, a seriously impressive machine. The bike was hand assembled between January and April 2000. It came to its current ownership direct from the main dealers in Denver, Colarado in 2001. The bike was left in the USA until April of 2005 to allow upgrades and refinements to be carried out. These included, but were not limited to - a fully "mapped" custom ECU and fuel injection system developed specifically for THIS bike by Internal Combustion Industries of Colorado at over $21,000 cost. The bike will be handed over to its new owner, or perhaps "custodian", complete with laptop leads and a mapping softwear cd.

This is something for the hard-core V-twin enthusiast, someone who wants to combine the sheer "THUMP" of an EVO-style 1,754cc (or 107 cube inch!) displacement engine that pumps out 111bhp together with a tree stump pulling 120 ft lbs of torque!
