The A.P.E. Sneaky Pete is built for Harley M8 riders who want serious street performance, broad power delivery and a bike that feels strong every time the throttle opens. Available in 124ci and 128ci, it's designed to produce north of 155 horsepower and torque with the right high-flow air cleaner, exhaust and tune.
Taverner Motorsports supplies, installs and dyno tunes the Sneaky Pete at our Bowen Hills workshop in Brisbane, with Australia-wide shipping, including our ride-in/ride-out service.
