Australian, Paul G. Maloney, who founded Maltec Performance Engineering in 2008, and his team, built a powerful V8 motorcycle, the PGM-V8.  The PGM is powered by a 2-litre 1996cc, 90-degree V8 with the engine pumping out a massive 249kW / 334hp at 12,800rpm and 214Nm of torque at 9500rpm, measured at the countershaft sprocket.

The front suspension consists of 48mm USD  fully adjustable Öhlins FGRT301 forks, and an Öhlins TTX Mk2 shock at the rear.

Brembo GP4 Nickel plated calipers are at the front, with dual 320mm discs.  At the rear a Brembo P4-34 Nickel plated caliper on 220mm disc is used, mated to a Yamaha YZF-R1 swingarm.

 

The front wheels is a 17.0 x 3.50 Marchesini 10 spoke, forged aluminium and a 17.0 x 6.00 Marchesini 10 spoke, forged aluminium wheel at the rear.

A pair of Akraopovic custom-built titanium 4-into-2-into-1 exhausts, and carbon fiber bodywork are additional weight-savings, to give it a wet weight of 242kg / 533lbs.

"Well – it’s not often that I’m left speechless - it is literally a 'super' bike in every sense. It is an incredible motorcycle".
Alan Cathcart, World's leading motorcycle journalist. Feb 2015.

Sand cast aluminium crankcases are shot-peened and heat treated for strength, durability and corrosion resistance. All machining is done by CNC for accuracy and repeatability.

The flat plane crankshaft is machined from a single piece of En36 steel, heat treated and nitrited before final grinding and balancing.

Bodywork is carbon fibre for rigidity, light weight and durability.

The curved shape of the large capacity radiator ensures the 2.0 litre engine stays cool under all conditions.

The exhaust system is custom-made by Akrapovic, the world leader in exhaust system technology. The use of titanium alloy results in a significant weight saving, better heat dissipation and improved flow characteristics.

In addition to the carbon silencers required for road use, the PGMV8 comes supplied with a handmade MotoGP style system. This free flowing system delivers a howl reminiscent of a 1970’s F1 V8.

Instrumentation incorporates the latest high resolution, full colour, display from Motec. The graphics are specially configured to match the requirements of the PGMV8. The surround is machined from billet aluminium
