Coming to the engine, the motor is now ready for sale and includes the primary drive and the transmission.

Carberry further reveals that the oil capacity stands at 3.7 litres, whereas the lifters and oil pumps run in their own housings, protecting the engine cases from wear and tear. The custom builder says that the motor will provide linear power delivery throughout the rev range and the old school design is appropriate for custom builds. The exhaust system is not a part of the engine setup as the same is frame dependent.

Carberry's new 1000 cc V-Twin engine has been priced at Rs. 4.96 lakh (ex-factory), and will be exported as well across several markets. The export price though will carry a slight warranty surcharge over the Indian version.

The Carberry 1000 cc V-Twin engine will be liked by custom builders looking for an old school motor that is easy to work upon. However, for those looking at picking up the complete bike, the builder has announced that the bikes will arrive later this year with all the certifications in place.
