For sale in local bike shop.
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. 
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

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.

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.......

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