Video: Viper V10-Powered Motorcycle

Viper bikeHere’s another amazing creation by master craftsman Allen Millyard: a motorcycle powered by an 8-liter V10 from a Dodge Viper. This is no toy or stunt—it’s roadworthy and it runs 207 mph. Watch the video. 

 

 

Mac’s Motor City Garage readers are familiar with Allen Millyard. A few months ago, we featured the master builder’s V-Twin motorcycle engine built from Pratt & Whitney aircraft components. However, the gargantuan bike engine is just one of Millyard’s wondrous and imaginative creations, and he builds more of them all the time.

Presented here is Millyard’s Viper V10 motorcycle. Yep. That’s right, a bike powered by a 488 CID, 500 horsepower V10 from a Dodge Viper sports car. Now, Viper-powered motorcycles have been done before, not least of all by Chrysler itself with the outrageous Tomahawk concept. What sets Millyard’s bike apart from the rest is it’s not a toy or a stunt. This one is not garage art. This is a real, roadworthy motorcycle that meets Britain’s rigorous and fussy road licensing standards to the letter, and it has racked up more than 6,000 highway miles at last report.

To further prove its street cred, the Millyard V10 has run 207 mph at the Bruntingthorpe Airfield and Proving Ground under the timing and supervision of Motor Cycle News. No poser here, this bike is the real deal. And as with all of Millyard’s projects, the build quality and detailing are beyond reproach. Video below.

  1. Classic example of America’s theme, “If this is good, more must be better”. Pure silliness.

  2. Is it my imagination and this is direct drive? No gearbox?
    Very long and top heavy so very much a cruiser, around a racetrack a postie bike is probably faster!
