""The Foggy Petronas FP1 has become a road-going reality just 18 months after MCN revealed the first drawings for the bike.

There’s just 100 bikes available worldwide of this exotic machine, in its initial high-spec trim, but you can buy one if you’ve got £25,000."" From MCN.

Just out of interest, why spend the initial £25000 on an unproven bike that will depreciate like a fully loaded 7 series when they bring out a cheaper production model. It will have to be something special on the road for me to sling my hard earned at one. Great looking bike though!

Will it throw flames from a Carbon Fibre Micron?????

Still no bloody bike!! I was going to go up to Ducati London South this Sunday for the MotoGP day. I am not happy! It has been chipped to give 95bhp at the rear wheel and 50NM of torque and I want to see what that equates to on the road. It has been a month now.

I heard they were all sold already.

All bikes like this are gonna depreciate rapidly, but I doubt any of the buyers really care. IIRC the R7 was £30K + £4K for the upgrades in 1999. They are worth about 10K now.
