2003 Petronas FP1 Super Rare One of only 150 Examples For Sale

We are very proud to offer our Petronas FP1 for sale, this must be one of the rarest bikes we have had the good fortune to have within our collection.

This particular bike is number 133 of 150 and has benefited from a recent mechanical and cosmetic refresh. The livery has been re-applied by the company responsible for the original graphics on the bikes and a new battery has been installed. Fluids have been changed and the engine run up to temperature.

2003 saw the production of 150 Petronas FP1 motorbikes finished in Panache Green, Exotic Black and Misty Grey with 50 designated for racing and testing and 100 homologation bikes destined for the open market. When the project began, the aim was to create a machine to compete in Moto GP, but plans changed and the bike was eventually developed as a WSBK machine. The FP1 was developed and manufactured by UK based engineering firm MSX International and had a 900cc Suter Racing liquid cooled inline 3 engine at its heart which in race trim developed just shy of 190bhp.

Petronas raised their profile massively when they joined forces with four-time Superbike World champion Carl Fogarty to form a racing team — Foggy Petronas Racing, with riders Troy Corser and James Haydon — to participate in the Superbike World Championship.

The road going bike retained most of its track equipment and saw the addition of light clusters and a detune of the engine to satisfy road regulations. The bike retains the look and feel of its racing sibling and is a true race replica. At only 181kgs performance is impressive even 15 years after its creation and it benefits from components which were top of the line when it was built such as Ohlins shocks and Brembo brakes.

This really is the ultimate investment so please do not hesitate to call for more information or to place a small deposit to secure the bike. We offer full finance packages and can also organise shipping of this or any of our other motorcycles anywhere in the world.
