One of the most extraordinary motorcycles ever built, the Millyard Viper V10, will be offered for sale in the United Kingdom after many years in the hands of its creator, British engineer Allen Millyard.
According to a report by the website Ride Apart, the model will be auctioned by H&H Classics on July 22, with an estimated value between £100,000 and £150,000, around US$132,000 to US$196,000.
The motorcycle is equipped with a massive 8.0-liter V10 engine taken from a Dodge Viper GTS, capable of producing approximately 500 hp and 712 Nm of torque.
Despite its dimensions and power being highly unusual for a motorcycle, it is fully road-legal in the United Kingdom and has already covered more than 14,500 km.
Allen Millyard took about five years to complete the project. Virtually all structural components had to be custom-developed to support the weight and performance of the mechanical assembly.
The motorcycle also incorporates creative solutions, such as rear shock absorbers sourced from two Yamaha R1 motorcycles and handmade exhaust manifolds.
In addition to its unusual engineering, the Millyard Viper V10 holds a record recognized by Guinness World Records. During tests carried out at a British airfield, the motorcycle reached 333 km/h and, in 2023, was also used to set the world speed record for a motorcycle carrying both a rider and a passenger.
According to Millyard, the decision to sell the motorcycle was motivated by the need to free up space in his garage for new projects. “This has been a very difficult decision for me to make, but it will make way for more exciting projects in the future,” he said, according to the website Visor Down.
