'''Britten''' was designed and almost completely hand-built by New Zealander John Britten and his team, the Britten V1000 was one of the world's most exotic and brilliantly engineered motorcycles. It was powered by a 60 degree v-twin. The liquid cooled, fuel injected engine also served as the V-1000's frame, with the Kevlar and carbon fiber rear swingarm and girder style forks mounted directly to the engine. | |||
When John Britten tragically died of cancer at the age of 45, the motorcycling world lost one of the people with the most vision to change it. | When John Britten tragically died of cancer at the age of 45, the motorcycling world lost one of the people with the most vision to change it. |
