Q. How do you make a small fortune out of motorcycle manufacturing.
A. Invest a large fortune in it.

Not that that should ever stop anyone following their dream !

Hesketh used to be a Ducati wannabe.
Now looks like it has become a Harley wannabe.
Sad.

Pretty impressive specs that Harley owners could only dream of, 145 HP and 215 NM torque for one version. Considering the giant displacement, not super heavy either at 235 kgs.

I like the look of it.

Looks interesting here as well, but quite a small looking petrol tank for such a large motor.
Designed to be seen on rather than travelled on it would seem.

To each his own of course.

But If I were spending that kind of money on such hand built-ness, I'd go for the Ariel Ace, the sports styled one with normal USD forks looks the biz to my eye!
