Yamaha FIAT Packard Bell MotoGP Inspired Sniper Classic

For this WEEK we are featuring a Yamaha FIAT Packard Bell MotoGP inspired Sniper 135 classic.
The bike is owned by Ramil Tapiru a Supervisor in Motoworld Archbisop Reyes branch Cebu. The
concept of the bike was inspired by 2008 Yamaha Race bike piloted by Valentino Rossi enroute to a
MotoGP championship title. It was also on that the same year that Taiwanese computer manufacturer
Acer acquired Packard Bell and announced that they will be supporting the Yamaha Racing
Team.

Going into the bike it sports a wide array of Bikers and Racing Boy Parts. Ramil wanted only to
 use the best parts for the bike which should be both functional and at the same time enhance the
look of the bike. He utilized Bikers Brake levers, Bar Ends and Axle guards.  He also utilized Bikers
front brake caliper protectors and rear master cylinder protectors.  To improve the handling he used
Racing Boy Fork stabilizer.

To improve the performance he used K&N filters paired with Hi-Speed muffler. The bike uses
Racing Boy Lever Guard, Chain Tensioner, Oil filter cover and side stand. The bike sports a fender
eliminator to achieve that clean race bike look and it also uses a Sniper MX rear disk brake assembly
which was specially modified by the team to integrate seamlessly with the bike. It also sports a
Noiwatdan replica custom made seat.

The bike was a product of the collaboration of the different individuals behind it namely William
Manaba of William Workz who was incharge of the body graphics. Jr Francia the chief mechanic and
CP Murillo of CPM Performance for the parts machining and fabrication. Joshua Clemente of JPC's
Motorcycle Parts and Accesories who helped them procure the parts. All in all the bike took 5 months
to build as some of the parts had to be shipped from Malaysia and Thailand.
