F-40 spec sheet


Fastest bike ever to hit the street! Winner and record holder in the ultimate road test- the Race Across America. The four-man relay completed the 3000 mile (4800 km) course in five days, one hour- an average speed of 25 mph (40 kph)!

Note that the F-40 is based on the P-38, so you can buy a P-38 bike and add the F-40 body later.
