Default If you have an Hour, watch this:

Truly one of the most inspiring videos I've seen in a long time. We all know about the Britten, but the true innovation and lack of BS technology gives me hope! Who wants to help me build a moto GP contender!?

I have no skills to speak of but I'll help, well I can make a mean cup of coffee. Are you planning on sand-casting your own engine cases?

that is a timeless piece of design work. Looks as good today as it did when new.

Sat on one years ago and it was very comfy. Watched it race at Pukekohe (Auckland NZ) in the mid 90's against a couple of factory Ducatis and on the back straight it looked as though the Duc's were running on one cylinder next to it. Fabulous machine.

I've had the photo under the red umbrella, plus another Britten pic, as a part of my desktop server pics on my work computer for a few years-serves as inspiration! Thank goodness for independent thinkers.

Incredible. I'm pretty new to bikes and hadn't heard this story before. Thanks for sharing.

Velox mentioned Buell-I remember seeing the '89 Buell RS1200 (in deep blue)---what a beauty. Way above my price allowance at the time! Then they got less beautiful imo.
