Hesketh V1000. The engine looks like it's carved from a solid lump of aluminium. The bike itself has been used as an ornament in someones' living room.

Tidy. Rather have a Black Shadow though. Need to win the lottery to afford either.

Tasty

Take a look at the Vortan (only £20,000)

Hesketh was made just down the road from me in Towcester.......pig ugly bloody things.....rotary Norton was prettier and faster..made a better noise too..

Tasty bit is the wheels.......astralites no less very trick

Pipe n slippers bike that is......like a harley

No ...Harleys are proper bikes

Harleys are ok if you are into tractors and going slow......

I've just been round and had a look round the Hesketh. £7500, it's an "X" reg and has done 444 miles . Like the one in Davids picture but it has gold Astralites. You need muscles like Garth to work the clutch, it's heavy man.

He was saying he also has a Mitsubishi GTO for sale, Japanese race spec without the 4 wheel steering but I didn't want it.

there is a rusty one in a barn not a million miles from me,damm ugly and heavy

Funny looking thing

What a Mitsubishi GTO?


... like Harleys, they are sports/touring bikes, not super bikes. Anyway a harley will sound infinately better than a superbike any day.

If you want madly heavy then take a look at this (1300lbs):



But it does have a 502CU V8 and 502BHP and 567lbf torque...IIRC 0-60 was in just over 1 second....

The only good thing about a Harley is Mr Farmer can plough his field on 2 wheels instead of 4 whilst smoking his pipe and wearing his dodgy slippers.......

Has she dislocated her hip?

The belt is to power the threshing machine.... Harleys are agricultural, can't disguise a tractor with fancy paint and long forks......

Is it a diesel, I can't see any carbs.

"Edit"

Did Avoneer fit the front mudguard?
