2015 Hesketh HESKETH 24[edit | edit source]
Hesketh is the latest UK heritage motorcycle brand to be reborn and the ‘24’ is their first offering. This is a shouty, noisy, slightly show-off bike which is a little at odds with the understated, cool, classy lines of the original V1000. Sure, there are enough connections here for the 24 to be a credible successor of the V-twin, the cowl shape, the classy Hesketh signature on the cases.
