Greatest motorcycle ever built

[Gibbon]

As some of you know, i'm a huge motorcycle fan. I remember watching this on video years ago thinking, this guy is talented but totally crazy. I am of course talking about John Britten and his V1000.

Made by hand, and i'm talking everything from the frame, wheels and engine, this master of design came up with the greatest sports bike ever made that even today, rivals anything out there.

Nothing comes close to this bike, and the sight of it wheelieing past the ducatis to take the lead at Daytona makes me smile everytime i see it. The man was a legend, sadly lost to illness at the tender age of 45, but goes down in motorcycling history as the greatest innovator of them all.

Watch the video clips, it really is inspiring... If anyone knows where i can get the original film on dvd, please let me know.

Nice, but...
I gotta dissagree. My 2005 Harly Fat Boy is the greatest bike ever made. Its not the fastest.
It doesent handel the best. Its not the collor or the chrome. It's MINE. And thats what makes it the best in my book
