SUMMARY
Twice World Superbike Champion Colin Edward's FTR Moto GP bike from the Texas Tornado's last full season.
DESCRIPTION
- These FTR-built bikes were used by Colin Edwards and Claudio Corti in the 2013 Moto GP season, this one being Edward's bike used in his final full season
- Completely hand-built and originally tuned by the French-based tuning company, Akira, with an available power of over 245bhp and a weight of 157kg (with original tyres)
- The remarkable power-to-weight ratio makes for an achievable top speed of over 325kph
- Offered with its original Kawasaki ZX-10R engine which was fresh for its last race, currently tuned to 229hp at the rear wheel (with dyno print)
- The engine was fresh prior to the last race of the season at Valencia and has been fully serviced and had engine management work carried out in its current ownership
- Bought by the current owner in 2015 and has seen light use since at parade events.
- Currently fitted with its original Brembo brakes with the carbon package pictured, it also has a set of steel discs
- Slight variations to the original race set-up include a kit Kawasaki Superbike head and associated loom/ECU as opposed to a Magneti system which it would have originally run, removing the need for a data engineer to support running the bike at events. This package still features traction control, power maps, a pitlane limiter, anti-wheelie, launch control and an HM dash
- Also included are the original Magneti Marelli GP loom as a spare including the original throttle bodies, Lambda sensors, motor sensors, dash loom and other associated parts
- The seller can also offer a limited quantity of Panta Oxygenated race fuel in the sale if required
- It would have also run Bridgestone Battlax Tyres in competition but is currently fitted with 16.5" Dunlop equivalent
- Build breakdown:
- FTR MGP13 Aluminium Tri-Spar chassis, fully handmade in the UK from billet and extruded aircraft alloy with fully adjustable headstock and swingarm pivot.
- Later generation 3-hole swingarm with fully adjustable rear ride height and suspension linkage, mated to a full factory Öhlins custom TTX rear shock
- Öhlins full factory custom built FGR forks
- Full billet and fully adjustable fork yokes
- MFR magnesium wheels
- Brembo carbon fibre brakes including Brembo GP calipers fitted with titanium pistons and carbon pads (wet weather steel discs & pads included)
- Hand made factory Akrapovič exhaust system
- Self-supporting central mass fuel tank/seat unit
- Bodywork is full prepreg carbon-Kevlar ultra-lightweight
- Titanium fasteners, bolts and spindles throughout
- A rare opportunity in itself to own an ex- Moto GP bike - even rarer to have a fully functioning and ready-to-ride bike
