McLaren W1 First Drive: Ferocious Hypercar Transcends the Track

You know things are getting serious when McLaren rolls-out the ‘1’ suffix. The origin story is, of course, the very first road car McLaren ever built, the F1. Designed by visionary Formula 1 aerodynamicist and engineer Gordon Murray, it arrived in 1992 and rendered all other supercars obsolete. The tiny, lightweight F1 embraced carbon-fibre material technology, adopted a radical centre seat driving position with two passengers set back and either side and was powered by a 6.1-litre V12 engine from BMW that might as well have been passed down directly from the Gods. Game-changer? That doesn’t even come close to describing its impact, even if at the time sales didn’t come easy… The P1 was very different. Rather than a unique side project from the Formula 1 team, it was instead a statement piece for McLaren Automotive, a new road car division still in its infancy. It arrived in 2013 and was a wild-eyed showstopper. It traded the long-legged gait and supple suspension of the F1 for a weaponized hybrid system capable of delivering 903bhp and huge blue flames from its drainpipe exhaust. In Race mode, it lowered by 2-inches and its massive concave rear wing extended into the sky. The P1 was all about aerodynamic downforce, crazed acceleration and a snorting, angry soundtrack that mixed venomous twin-turbocharged V8 with the manic whirr of electric motors. Not so much a car as a force of nature. And now there’s this: The W1. It’s a true successor to the P1 with a similar brief and, on the face of it, it evolves rather than radically reinvents McLaren’s vision for the ultimate hypercar. This is not a criticism. How could it be when the result is this dramatic and has such staggering, other-worldly potential? The W1 has 1258bhp delivered to the rear wheels. It’s capable of 0-124 mph in 5.8-seconds, the quarter mile in 9.6-seconds at 167 mph and produces 2205lbs of downforce at 174 mph. The active aerodynamics – particularly a rear wing that extends way out beyond the rear of the car – are pure performance art and deliver massive aerodynamic efficiency. The result, aside from looking extremely cool, is that the W1 is McLaren’s fastest road car around a racetrack. Ever. Their benchmark circuit is the breath-taking Handling Track at the Nardo proving ground in southern Italy, where the W1 beats their previous benchmark, the flyweight McLaren Senna, by three seconds per lap. Or “a lifetime” as they call it in racing. Maybe two lifetimes! Core to the W1’s performance is the new ‘Aerocell’ carbon fibre tub. With integrated seats and a raised footwell to allow for inboard pushrod-operated front suspension – which in turn gives air a clean path to the huge underbody diffuser – it’s light, stiff, space efficient and has been instrumental in McLaren realising a full ground-effect concept. Just like last year’s F1 cars, which were the fastest ever made. There is also an active front wing and the aforementioned complex rear wing dubbed ‘Active Long Tail’. All of which is very admirable. But the ‘anhedral’ or gullwing doors and the fantastically shirnked-wrapped feel to the minimalist, highly-focussed interior are a pretty good side effect. The W1 feels special. Those fixed seats are perhaps a shade more upright than expected, and the driving position is less obviously racecar than, for example, the Aston Martin Valhalla or Ferrari F80. However, once you’ve adjusted the pedals (they move on a slider) and the delicate, slim-rimmed and alcantara-trimmed steering wheel, there’s an overwhelming sense of purpose. The cabin is so tightly tailored and imparts a sense of lightness and agility before you so much as start the all-new 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8 engine, which makes 916bhp all on its own and revs to 9200rpm. Reach up to a roof-mounted control panel to find the starter button. Maybe this fighter plane trope is a little corny, but somehow you feel thrilled rather than manipulated. The W1 has a sense of humour as well as all that motorsport-derived sophistication. There’s a short delay, but when the engine does fire it’s instant – as the high-powered hybrid system negates the need for an old-school starter motor. A sharp flare of revs tells you that this engine is hyper-responsive and angry. On some deep level your brain and body have been sent all the signals required to prepare for something new and intense. Ahead of us, an empty Mugello racetrack, so press and hold the blue button next to the red starter to select Race mode. The centre display graphic shows the W1’s transformation in real time as it lowers by 37mm at the front and 17mm at the rear whilst simultaneously undocking all that active aero goodness. Race mode is not road legal and is geo-locked. You can show your friends and neighbours the aero dance, but it won’t allow you to select a gear to actually drive unless you’re at a circuit. Incidentally, the rocker switches either side of the display binnacle allow further options now: Toggle up the Handling control on the left for Race+ (for F1-spec super smooth tracks) or stick to Race for gnarlier ones. On the right toggle select ‘GP’ for sustained performance over a stint or ‘Sprint’ to unleash all 1258bhp for a time attack. There’s also a DRS and Boost function on the steering wheel. But I guarantee you won’t have the mental capacity to use them… Exit the pitlane, pin the throttle and W1 takes maybe a millisecond or two to gather its might (the gearing stretches to around 60mph in first, nearly 100mph in second, primarily to aid traction), but then lunges at the first turn with incredible ferocity. It instantly feels light, almost like inertia is no longer a thing. McLaren really does prize lightweight engineering, and at 3084lbs (dry) the W1 has a 278lbs advantage over the Ferrari F80. Plus, Ferrari uses figures for cars fitted with every single carbon fibre option. In reality, the gap is probably wider still. The impression of agility and stunning control continues as the track is unravelled at startling pace. The electric motor mounted to the side of the new 8-speed dual-clutch transmission is good for 342bhp and 324lb ft and it boosts any low rev lethargy the new flat-plane crank V8 might have (spoiler alert: It doesn’t appear to have any), so the W1 just feels massively, almost impossibly powerful at any revs. Even so, there’s real reward for wringing it out to 9200rpm and the power curve feels superheated but organic, too. In Race mode the steering – still hydraulically powered – has less assistance and it is noticeably heavier than other McLarens. However, that resistance is welcome as it gives you something to push against and imparts so much information about the front grip level. New Pirelli Trofeo RS tyres with a bigger front footprint than P1 or Senna really help. The front-end feels incredibly secure and the rear-axle follows with perfectly-aligned precision. The whole car feels super-stiff, completely locked into the surface and inspires confidence, but there’s an inherent agility and adjustability that means you’re quickly confident to push at its limits and really impose yourself on the chassis. It’s such a complex car but the driving experience is intuitive, and the driver feels a key contributor rather than just amazed (or terrified) observer, holding on for dear life. Every dynamic ingredient really is shockingly effective and yet has a subtlety and lightness of touch. From that delicious steering to the incredible brakes, the W1 just feels so mission-focussed, so hooked-up. Only the new 8-speed gearbox is a slightly disappointment. It’s fast and punchy, but after the scintillating energy of the Ferrari F80 ’box it feels competent rather than inspired. Other quibbles – it’s okay to quibble when the starting price is $2.1-million before tax and destination charge. Well, that new twin-turbocharged V8 sounds tightly wound and aggressive but if you have a P1 tucked in the garage you’ll miss the snorting, Darth Vader-style soundscape and all the drama that goes with it. Ferrari does this better, too. The F80 sounds deathly dull from the outside but is a riot of turbochargers, electric motors and all sorts of mechanical fury within the cockpit. Even so, the W1 is wildly entertaining on track, and the rear-drive configuration makes it more of a challenge and more satisfying than the F80 when chasing lap times or just sliding around for fun. In the Ferrari, you must second-guess what the front e-axle might do, whereas in the W1 it’s all on you. There are plenty of tools to help, including the ingenious Variable Drift Control, but somehow the W1 is more heroic. Or at least fools you into feeling more heroic – which is surely the point! On the road? Nimble, loaded with feel and sublime response. The ride is noticeably tougher than, say, a 750S but the control is ramped-up too, and with a bit more speed the whole car finds a delicious rhythm. Sport mode for the drivetrain brings some nice turbo whooshes and chirps, but the noise remains high-quality rather than extreme excitement. It is perhaps the one area the W1 feels just a little too tame. Of course, there’s nothing tame about the raw performance… which is genuinely shocking and literally hurts your neck muscles after a few hours. How McLaren has given the W1 such immense traction through just two driven wheels is beyond me. So, is it worthy of that ‘1’? I think so. Perhaps we won’t be talking about $25-million auction results for the W1 in 30 years from now, as we are for the F1. Perhaps it doesn’t quite have the amazing presence and jaw-dropping star quality of the simply gorgeous P1. But it is such an intense experience and the way it marries stunning track performance with delicate poise and entertainment on normal roads is something akin to magic. Maybe not ‘the one’ but definitely a searing, outrageous addition to McLaren’s fiercest family line. Just 399 W1’s will be built and they’re all sold. I’m not surprised at all.

Beautifully Restored 1971 Norton Commando 750 For Sale

Presented by Speedart. Astounding restoration of the iconic British hot rod in cafe racer fashion. James Lansdowne Norton was born in Birmingham in 1869. He showed mechanical ability at an early age and made a model steam engine at the age of ten but began his working life as an apprentice toolmaker in the jewelry trade. His interest was in the development of the bicycle, however, and he soon realized that his career was in engineering. James Norton started The Norton Manufacturing Company at the age of 29 in 1898 at premises in Bradford Street, Birmingham. Initially supplying bicycle spare parts he progressed to fully assembled bicycles. View This Motorcycle's Listing Norton met Charles Garrard, who worked for the French Clément engine company and in 1902 Norton made his first powered motorcycle called the ‘Energette’ with a single-cylinder 143cc Clément engine made in Belgium. Norton also used larger capacity Moto Rêve V-twin engines from Switzerland and Peugeot engines from France. In 1907 Rem Fowler entered a Norton motorcycle in the first Isle of Man TT race and won the twin-cylinder class, beginning Norton’s racing career. Pa Norton was on the island for this race to look after the machine and act as the pit attendant. In 1909 Norton exhibited motorcycles with his own engine design at the Stanley Show, the Big Four side valve single which remained in production until 1954. He went on to develop a prototype overhead-valve engine in 1922 with which Dan O’Donovan set a new world record for the 500cc kilometer at 89 mph. A road-going motorcycle, the Norton Model 18 was launched in 1923 and became a best-seller, as well as establishing many records, including Alec Bennet’s Senior TT win. James Norton was a great engineer but struggled with the business and his company went into liquidation in 1913, being bought by Bob Shelley, who owned an automotive accessories manufacturing business. In the large array of British motorcycles, there are only a few seen as true Hot Rods. Within that elite group, it’s likely none are more revered than the Norton Commando. Norton introduced the Commando in 1967 at the Earls Court Show in the UK to rave reviews. Norton needed something to get the market to rave about; its product line had already shrunk from 16 to five models only five years before 1967, with the Commando at the top. Production of the machine was initially complex and located across different parts of England, with the engines produced in Wolverhampton, frames in Manchester, while components and final assembly were at Burrage Grove, Plumstead. In late 1968, Plumstead works was subject to a Greater London Council compulsory purchase order and closed in July 1969. With the assistance of a Government subsidy, the assembly line was moved to North Way, Andover; with the Test Department in an aircraft hangar on Thruxton Airfield. Frame manufacturing was transferred to Wolverhampton, where a second production line produced about 80 complete machines each week. Components and complete engines and gearboxes were also shipped overnight, from Wolverhampton to the Andover assembly line. The origins of the Commando engine can be traced back to the late 1940s when the 497 cc (30.3 cu in) Norton Model 7 Twin was designed by Bert Hopwood. The twin-cylinder design evolved into 600 cc, then the 650 cc Manxman and Dominator until superseded by 750 cc Atlas before being launched as the 750 cc Commando in 1967. The new Commando featured a 745cc Atlas engine that was rubber-mounted in an all-new chassis. The new model was off to a fast start with the media, as Motor Cycle News named it Motorcycle of the Year in 1968, The transmission retained the pre-unit 4-speed Norton gearbox with a new diaphragm clutch and triplex primary drive. These were accommodated in a new alloy cover that had a single bolt fixing. The gearbox was strengthened and the clutch plates were changed to sintered bronze when the 850 engine was introduced. A hydraulic primary chain tensioner was introduced for the Mk3 850 and the chain case cover was changed to a 12 screw fixing in an attempt to cure oil leaks. The Commando used the isolastic frame designed by Bauer, Hooper and Trigg. The Roadholder forks were carried over from the Atlas as were the silencers. An 8 in (200 mm) tls front brake that had been an option on previous models was fitted. A new fiberglass tank that tapered towards the rear was fitted and matched with a combined seat/rear mudguard. The front of the seat had two “wings” that extended to either side of the tank. Speedart Motorsports is pleased to offer for your consideration this remarkable motorbike, presented in turnkey show condition, and an opportunity not to be missed. Motobiography Chassis No. 147727 is a numbers-matching example that was modified by Wasted Spark Motorcycles in East Topsham, Vermont in the style of a Café Racer inspired by the contemporary Production Racer produced from 1970 to 1972. The eight-year build that was completed in 2012 included the installation of fiberglass bodywork finished in yellow with a black racing saddle as well as an overhaul of the 745cc parallel twin using a Megacycle camshaft, an electronic ignition, and replacement Amal carburetors. Additional equipment includes a refurbished four-speed gearbox, clip-ons, rearsets, an oil-pressure gauge, chrome reverse-cone mufflers, Hagon shocks, and alloy rims. The fuel tank, front fender, and rear cowl were finished in Canary Yellow at Ray Atwood’s Cycle in Bolton, Vermont. Features include matching side covers, a stainless-steel rear fender, a chrome headlight bucket, rearsets, a black vinyl racing seat, and a center stand with the fasteners having been cadmium plated. Flanged Excel alloy rims laced with anodized stainless-steel Buchanan’s spokes wear Avon Speedmaster tires measuring 3.50×19″ up front and 4.00×19″ at the rear. Braking is from drums at both ends with a vented 8″ twin leading-shoe up front. Suspension is provided by a telescopic fork with black rubber gaiters as well as Hagon Road & Classic shocks mounted to the swingarm. The front brake light switch is noted to be inoperative, and there is no switch for the rear. The number 147727 on the headstock plate matches the last six digits of the number stamped on the engine case. Chrome 35mm clip-on handlebars are mounted below the upper triple clamp. A 150-mph Smiths speedometer and a matching tachometer with a 7k-rpm redline are mounted to the fork tops while a liquid-filled oil-pressure gauge is bolted to the upper clamp. The five-digit odometer displays a reading shy of 22k miles, a handful of which have been ridden since completion of the build. The 745cc parallel twin breathes through a pair of replacement 30mm Amal Mk II concentric carburetors and chrome dual header pipes flowing into upswept reverse-cone mufflers sourced from the Norvil Motorcycle Company in England. An overhaul of the engine during the build included: Cylinders bored and honed first-over Pistons and rings replaced Valve job with replacement guides Rod journals reground Tappets ground Camshaft followers resurfaced 33mm intake manifolds fitted Megacycle camshaft Lucas Rita electronic ignition Superblend crankshaft roller bearings Wiring harness replaced The motorbike is accompanied by the owner’s manual and a dossier of extensive documentation including the restoration process, substantiated by photographs, receipts, service records, and more.

Combat Motors Announces 2022 Motorcycle Lineup

Presented by Combat Motors. Combat Motors, known for uncompromising performance and American craftsmanship, announces its 2022 line-up featuring the new Combat Bomber, Wraith, F117 Fighter and P51 Fighter. The newest addition to the line-up, the Bomber takes what the original FA-13 Bomber started and completes the package. A new laid-back seat angle coupled with forward controls makes this bike the cruiser to lead all cruisers. Starting at $125,000 for the raw aluminum version, the Bomber is powered by the S&S X132 air-cooled big twin. Black ceramic coated exhaust is standard but the intimidation factor is unavoidable. Back for another year, and while supplies last, the Wraith is the pinnacle of two-wheel artistry. A carbon fiber seat fairing encapsulates a flame-polished acrylic brake lens that encapsulates the Combat nomenclature. The term, detail, physically takes on a new meaning with this bike. Dual forward and rear foot controls give you the luxury of choice; whether you want to ride aggressively or relax at the forward controls, the choice is always there. A 5-axis sculpturally machined fuel tank and air box as the centerpiece are the embodiment of a no-compromise approach to this bike. Starting at $155,000 for the raw version, power is available through the proprietary X132 architecture and additional power is made possible by the unique intake volume that has been accomplished through the innovative air box design. The F-117 Fighter has struck the balance between raw beauty and aggression. It does not make sense, but when you ride this bike, the 117 cubic-inch S&S V-twin provides sound, power and a balanced feeling that should not exist in such a raw machine. We have strived to reduce costs on this machine as much as possible so some options normally available on other models have been removed. Starting at $85,000, perfection may be closer to attainable than one may think. Tried and true, the original P51 Fighter is still available. For 2022, however, we’ve updated some of the details. The carbon fiber belly pans have been revised and graphic elements on the structural fuel tank refreshed. An optional 117 cubic inch displacement has been added to the list of options along with a digital speedometer built into the handlebar mount. The raw version starts at a lean $100,000 and the legendary “Blag Flag” version now only adds $5,000 to the build. Since all builds are based on the S&S X132 architecture, availability is subject to engine availability, as this power plant has been discontinued. The sooner interest is expressed, the more accurately delivery times can be communicated. Brand ambassador, Jay Etheridge, is available at most times to discuss options and answer any questions. To The Future: Hellcat Will Return…The newest Combat, currently under development, will bring the Hellcat name back to the forefront. With design elements showing the link to the past; construction, power, and efficiency will be nothing short of innovative. True to the lineage established in the past, the next generation Hellcat will no doubt bring the inner child out of each of its riders. Combat Motors owner, Ernest Lee, says that "We are building the last of these motorcycles with the S&S X-Wedge power plant while working hard to design the new Hellcat which will be available to a wider audience."

“No Limits – No Regrets”: A Thrilling Movie About a World...

Presented by Y Chrome Customs LLC - The “No Limits – No Regrets” (NLNR) movie opens with Axe’s high-speed ride on the back roads in the dark of early morning on his 2010 BMW S1000RR (S1K) as he provides a little background on his adrenaline addiction. The next few scenes give a little insight to his background including his childhood Charlie Brown racetrack, “Dukes of Hazzard” driving tips, and when he started building custom choppers and nurtured his love for the two-wheeled machines. Axe then goes through the history of his past cars and motorcycles as well as his current stable, which includes the S1K, a Sportster, and a Cadillac CTS-V coupe. He can’t leave anything stock, so he describes some of the modifications on his vehicles ranging from custom paint to advanced electronics. The former bike builder also begins fabricating one last chopper for himself and shows the build process to make the bike just the way he wants it. While preparing for the cross-country run, he finishes the chopper, which he rides to Daytona Beach for Biketoberfest. No sooner than returning to Texas, he takes the S1K to the Texas Mile and blasts 167 mph down a runway for his first event. The S1K is modified for better mileage, additional fuel storage, radar detection, and a thermal vision system before shipping it to San Diego. Shortly after squeezing into the leathers, Axe quickly adapts to lane splitting to avoid traffic delays. The ride is not without its challenges with both technical and biological abuse on the man and his machine. Eventually, he rips through Jacksonville and rolls onto the beach completely depleted. Barely two hours of sleep later, he wakes and rides his trusty steed back to the finish line in the sunrise to reflect on his accomplishment. He officially became the best in the world at what he loves by breaking the record with a time of 33 hours and 10 minutes from beach to beach across America. The movie also carries a deeper look into the human condition with inspirational elements of watching one person achieve a goal while overcoming health and other challenges to live life to the hilt.

Combat Motors Begins Production on All-New Wraith Motorcycle

Presented by Combat Motors - Combat Motors has announced its all-new Flagship model; the all-new 2021 Combat Wraith. Like the original Wraith which debuted in 2008, pushing the limits of American motorcycle manufacturing technology was the only place to start for such an example of raw art-in-motion. Inspired by the purist’s desire to not only stand out but to be liberated to forge one’s own path in a world full of followers. This second-generation Combat Wraith rides on the tried & true CX4 architecture with a brute force, 2.2 Liter big-block V-twin engine by S&S Cycle. The engine is an integral part of the bike’s construction acting as a stressed member, unifying and transferring as much unadulterated power to the ground as possible through the BST carbon fiber wheels to the Pirelli tread. The iconically shaped structural fuel tank is CNC 5-Axis machined from aircraft-grade 6061 aluminum. Utilizing this style of machining allowed Combat to increase the bike’s fuel capacity to 4.5 gallons and provide the longest ride possible between refueling. Visit Combat Motors' Website Combat Motors has reinstated the monocoque structure that was originally developed for the company's P-51 Combat Fighter while increasing airflow and efficiency through the redesigned structural air-box. Visibility of the twin-plate throttle-body is still made possible through a restyled oval glass just ahead of the fuel cap making it a crowning detail to the reimagined design of the original Wraith. This, along with the widely recognized visible cam timing cover and fuel tank windows, gives the owner and any fortunate spectator a full view of as many of the internal workings of this motorcycle. Combat Motors, continuing in the spirit of its former nomenclature, offers yet another industry first to the market. The new Combat Wraith will be built with interlinked forward and rear foot controls, offering its pilot the best of both worlds for quick trips across town or long rides up the coast. Each new motorcycle produced by the company will also soon be constructed in the Birmingham, Alabama facility via live, high-definition streaming video. Once the primary components are staged and ready, each client will have the opportunity to watch the step-by-step process of their own creation being constructed. One motorcycle at a time, Combat’s experienced master builder, Jason Reddick, will hand-assemble each motorcycle in full view of its future owner. A time-lapse video showcasing the birth of the new motorcycle will then become part of the delivery package, giving each new owner an unparalleled ownership experience. The girder front suspension bears a nod to the past as well, as the LED light blade carbon housing resembles the arched signature appearance of the original Wraith. Adding function to this iconic form, solid carbon fiber panels guide air directly into the triangular air intake portals. Thoughtful integration and styling elevate the original 5-axis CNC machined aircraft grade 6061 aluminum girders from the P-51 Combat Fighter to the Wraith’s elegant carbon fiber detailing. No more than twenty-one Wraiths will be built in either raw machined aluminum or as a Knight Wraith with a black anodized finish. The first new Knight Wraith is currently being built for Ernest Lee, owner of Combat Motors, who plans to ride the new motorcycle on a cross-country trip following Interstate 10 from Jacksonville, Florida to Malibu, California. Current owners of the company's motorcycles are invited to ride either the entire length of the trip or individual legs with Ernest as he brings the next generation Combat Wraith west for its official debut later this year.

Indian Chieftain Motorcycle Inspired by Travis Pastrana &...

Presented by Private Seller - USA Baggers' first motorcycle of their "Legends Series" is a Travis Pastrana/Evel Knievel influenced “Stars and Stripes” Indian Chieftain Motorcycle. The inspiration came from Travis Pastrana’s three legendary jumps in Las Vegas in July of 2018, the third being the iconic fountains at Caesars Palace. Travis did this to honor his hero and mine, Evel Knievel. View Price and Listing At USA Baggers we wanted to honor both of these incredible daredevils with this bike build. We really liked the fact that Pastrana did this on an Indian Motorcycle instead of the Harley Davidson model Evel always rode. This bike however represents both of these incredible men. The hand-painted striping on the tank is Pastrana but the classic V shape in the back is Evel Knievel all the way! From the multi-step white pearl paint to its gleaming blue 30-inch candy blue rim front with red and white spokes, this bike demands rubbernecking. Perched atop the retro 70's stars and stripe seat and listening to the over 600 watts of ear numbing decibels screaming from the 8.5 rear JL audio speakers and 5.5 JL audio front speakers with bass kicking from a 10” sub and all that are running seamlessly through the factory Indian ride command system, you still can't help but hear Evel Knievel's words when he said "Live hard, ride fast and regret nothing." With its perfect trail numbers and rake, giving this big beast great handling features, to the sleek voluptuous curves of USA Baggers custom "Bare Back" kit, this bike is nothing short of a rolling work of art. However "awe-inspiring" it is to gaze upon, it's just as "awe-inspiring" to ride. This bike takes big gulps of air through a 60 mm venom-plenum throttle body and spits it out with a deep menacing growl through the 2 into 1 4 inch custom "Pow Wow" pipe. It receives commands from the customized fuel and performance mapping program through Fuel- Moto all adding additional horsepower. This isn't just some cut and weld neck on this Indian Chieftain. Vic Baggers produced a custom-built first of its kind, short neck triple tree and backbone specifically for this Indian Chieftain. This allowed placement of a 30-inch front rim and with relentless pursuit, we were able to achieve the ideal rake and trail numbers to achieve great stability, agility and handling. A front and rear air ride system was added, providing adjustable rebound and compression on the rear shock giving a smooth ride with adjustable travel. It also allows the bike to sit level on the ground, but rises up to over 7" for travel. This is a one of a kind motorcycle and will be appearing in upcoming magazines such as American Iron and calendars released for 2020. This bike was featured in Daytona and Sturgis motorcycle rally and earned fan favorite at both places and was one of the most photographed bikes at both places. Contact 308-340-5011 today to discuss the purchasing and delivery of this incredible machine and Become a LEGEND! View Price and Listing
