A highly sought-after motorcycle, the Crighton CR700W, is now available for purchase, offering enthusiasts a chance to own one of only 25 ever produced. This superbike, powered by a dual-rotary 690cc engine generating an impressive 220 horsepower, is being sold for £154,495 through the MSG Racing Suzuki Facebook page.
Unveiled in November 2021, the Crighton CR700W has become renowned among track bike aficionados. This particular model, numbered 15 out of the limited production run, has seen minimal use with a recorded mileage of under 125 miles (200 km). Its two track days were held at Donington Park GP, where it accumulated just three hours of ride time before being returned to Crighton for maintenance.
The Crighton CR700W stands out for its remarkable power-to-weight ratio, boasting almost 319 hp per liter. For comparison, high-performance machines like the Ducati Panigale V4 and MotoGP bikes typically generate around 210–220 hp per liter and 300 hp per liter, respectively. Notably, the Ferrari F2004, a leading Formula 1 car, produces 309 hp per liter.
Weighing in at just 285.5 lb (129.5 kg) with a dry weight configuration, the CR700W features a lightweight engine and transmission unit, which together weigh only 101 lb (46 kg). The superbike’s performance is complemented by top-tier components, including a Spondon-derived chassis and Ohlins FGR 300 front race forks. The braking system utilizes Brembo GP4-MS 108-mm calipers, while the tires are race-specific from Bridgestone.
The CR700W’s exhaust system, constructed from titanium and inconel, is designed to create a high energy vacuum through the engine, enhancing its performance. The entire bike is finished in carbon fiber, emphasizing both aesthetics and weight reduction.
The listing price of £154,495 translates to just over US$200,000 at current exchange rates. Potential buyers are encouraged to act quickly, given the rarity and performance pedigree of this motorcycle.

This unique offering represents not only a chance to own a piece of motorcycle history but also a formidable machine engineered for the track.
