[[Hesketh]] was never big. If anything it was pitifully small – only a few hundred V1000s sold worldwide, but the same can’t be said for the bikes themselves. They’re huge. A Hesketh’s dimensions – 550lbs dry weight and 59.5 inches from one wheel spindle to the other – sound imposing, but you have to be side-by-side with one to fully appreciate its scale. | [[Hesketh]] was never big.
