Custom-built motorcycle is Pacquiao's new toy

MANILA, Philippines – Add a custom-built motorcycle to Manny Pacquiao’s list of luxury vehicles. Fans of the world pound-for-pound king may soon see the Filipino boxing icon cruising on a handsome motorbike, a 1200cc M2 Cyclone, one of these days. Pacquiao already owns a Lincoln Navigator, two Porsche Cayenne Turbo, Chevrolet Suburban, Ford Expedition, Mitsubishi Pajero V6, Mitsubishi Grandis and Mercedes-Benz SLK. He also owns a Honda CRV, a Toyota pickup and a Hyundai Sante Fe. On Wednesday, Pacquiao was the recipient of a sporty and gorgeous-looking M2Cyclone 1200cc model bike for his exemplary performance in the world of prizefighting. The bike was manufactured by Harley Davidson’s sister company, Buell, and cost around P2.5 million. A personal emergency in his native General Santos City forced Pacquiao to miss the affair, although he was represented in the event by lawyer Franklin Gacal. “Sure, Manny is going to like this toy," said Gacal when the motorbike was unveiled. Castrol’s high-ranking executives, led by Mars Sota, Paul Salapantan and Cris Gonzales presented the motorbike to Gacal. The bike, designed and built by the Hardcore Brothers Custom team, is designed with images of Pacquiao’s last two impressive fights against American Oscar De La Hoya and Briton Ricky Hatton. Castrol officials said the special motorbike would cost even more should it be auctioned off in the market. – GMANews.TV
