2027Veloce Motorcycle Aperion

14 fields on record

The Veloce Motorcycle Aperion is a limited-run British café racer built around an extraordinary hand-built engine: a 1,000cc 8-cylinder, X-configuration, two-stroke, fed by eight 24mm Dell'Orto carburetors and producing a claimed 276 hp (206 kW) at 12,000 rpm. Power runs through a 6-speed manual gearbox and chain final drive, with the engine block doubling as a stressed member supporting twin steel-tubular-lattice subframes. It rides on a reverse-action telescopic fork with dual radial 4-piston front brakes and a single-sided swingarm with a single rear disc; the manufacturer offers no ABS or traction control. Hand-assembled in the UK, only 24 examples are planned, priced at roughly £78,000 each, with first deliveries expected in 2027.

Best for: A collector's showpiece and track-day weapon rather than a practical motorcycle - built to showcase an extraordinary engineering feat, not to commute on.
Built for: An outrageous, hand-built engineering exercise built around an 8-cylinder two-stroke engine unlike anything else on sale - equal parts art piece and motorcycle.
Not ideal for: Not for new or inexperienced riders, not for daily use or touring, and not for anyone wanting modern electronic safety aids.

Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
