What a crazy bike though. just hard to fathom that weight and that cost for that type of bike is all
It’s a strong example of taking bits not designed to be in a sports bike ( S&S v twin, Gates belt drive and a separate gear box) putting them in a sports bike frame and then ending up with a barge! Maybe it rides nice but a buell would be cheaper and nimbler. It’s not as if hesketh was a particularly well regarded marque bitd like a modern Brough or Norton
