Meet the AlfaBeast: Custom Made Bike with Alfa Romeo 2.5-liter V6


Even though we're car buffs, we couldn't pass on the opportunity to show you this custom made motorcycle and all for good reason, as the Alfabeast pictured here is powered by Alfa Romeo's late 1970's 2.5-liter V6 engine that is said to churn out 156 horsepower.
The one-off bike was created by one Chris Barber who fitted Alfa's V6 on a Kraftec frame. There are six individual exhaust pipes (three on each side) while the Weber carburetors breath through a set of pipes that stick out from the gas tank.
The 2.5-liter V6 engine is hooked up to a 4-speed transmission from a Harley Davidson while the forks and braking system are sourced from a Kawasaki ZXR-750 superbike.
