I think you have to give the sadly late Mr. Britten his due for the astounding results he achieved with limited resources in a relatively short space of time. The good die young is only too true in his case.

The good die young is only too true in his case.

.. Britten died as a result of skin cancer. No disrespect to him but I'd go easy on the nude sun bathing, OK?

And if you haven't seen 'The Britten Story' on video or DVD go get it now!

The V1000 Britten.................

End of Story.

Well maybe not but the bike was designed and built by a man who's thinking was about 10 years ahead of everyone else.

It wasn't built at Ducati Corse or HRC, the Britten was built in John's workshop and home surely makes it one of the greatest achivements in motorcycle history.
