Comments from the seller
1 of a kind V-twin creation from Italian bike-builder Francis Von Tuto.
A custom endurance/cafe-racer concept, built upon Honda’s reliable Firestorm platform - with the largest capacity 48mm carburettors ever integrated into a production bike.
I purchased this from Francesco (FVT) late 2021, after he had moved from his bike-shop in QLD, back to Italy. The quality of the craftsmanship in this build is wonderful. It’s been a real head-turner at the few bike-shows I’ve made it to, and I’ve thoroughly enjoyed telling the story of its creation.
Engine had a full strip-down and rebuild during build. Bike is immaculate, pulls like a train and rides like it’s on rails. I also have custom made intake trumpets designed by a guy in NSW with proven Dyno improvements, waiting to be installed.
A quick breakdown:
• 1000cc carburettor v-twin.
• Barnett Clutch.
• Handmade tig-welded 2-into-1 stainless exhaust with Arrow slip-on and Akropovic resonator-springs.
• ‘Kelpi’ fully integrated taillight-indicators front and rear.
• ‘Tech-Light’ LED twin headlights.
• Near New Michelin Pilot Road 5’s (90%).
• Custom rear subframe, single-piece front fairing, bubble-screen.
• Hand made seat designed specifically for this bike.
• Stator and rec-reg have been updated to suit new lights & indicators.
• Custom rear-sets.
• Polished swing-arm.
• ‘Kelpi’ bar-end mirrors.
• Quadlock phone holster (Yolk style).
Has seen minimal kilometres in my ownership but has had 3 services. Recently just had oil & filter change within 500km’s.
Regretful sale, freeing up funds for baby!

Will come with 6 months rego and current RWC. Happy to negotiate if you’d prefer a different package.
$9,900 or closest acceptable offer.
