thats john brittens bike , i think about five only made. and its value is very expensive. john britten designed and hand built the entire bike, i have the video, cast his own engine block, heads , everything. made the wheels, fairings ect,ect.
and its was very competitive against the factory ducati team, joey dunlop test rode the bike at one time, it was going to race in the T.T., isles or man race.
then john died of cancer, it was such a tragedy .
