British legendary builder Allen Millyard is putting his self-built "V10, 500-HP" motorcycle up for auction. Powered by a Dodge Viper's 8,300cc V10 engine, the monster machine is expected to require a minimum bid of £100,000 to win.
A 500hp V10 bike is beyond sane. But that's exactly what's good about it. Miliyard is basically that person's mind given form, an aesthetic that transcends practicality. A bike that seeps with the maker's obsession — just looking at it, you get swallowed by the atmosphere. 100,000 pounds might even be cheap.

With one-off customs like this you never know how high the final price will climb, so it's fun to just watch.
Hearing a £100,000 reserve price makes it sound like the pool of people who could actually maintain it is tiny.
Who exactly is Allen Millyard? Is he a well-known builder?
He's a legendary British builder who's made multiple one-off bikes powered by V10s and V12s.
8,300cc in a chassis this size means the power-to-weight ratio has to be insane.
A 500hp bike is basically unmanageable on public roads, so its value is probably more as a showpiece.
A bike with a Viper V10 stuffed in it is completely insane, and I love it for exactly that.
Millyard's scratch-built engines have long been treated as legendary among enthusiasts.
