If there is one motorcycle created in the modern era that is universally recognized as a milestone in racing motorcycle design, it is the Britten V 1000. Created by motorcycle visionary John Britten and his team of hard graft mates in a Christchurch New Zealand garage, the Britten is a triumph of persistence and single minded determination. The Britten story has been well documented in the past 22 years since John’s untimely death at the age of 45, the result of skin cancer that claimed his life so quickly. Tim Hanna is largely responsible for the access to information of John’s life and that of his mechanical masterpiece in his biography John Britten great reading for anyone interested in what made this genius tick. The Britten is a machine that conjures up romanticized dreams of taking on the world’s best on a primitive budget with your own design and beating them, a possibility that is now all but impossible in today’s mega budget, mega team day and age. Indeed John Britten’s genius was probably more suited to the 50s and 60s, where workshop savvy and perseverance often triumphed over impossible odds.
