lord alexander hesketh sought, with the v1000, to produce the finest motorcycle in the world, analogies to vincent and prestige cars such as aston martin and bentley abounded in the press prior to the models release. power was provided by a double overhead cam, 90 degree vee-twin engine designed by weslake, housed in a rigid tubular frame, the majority of which were nickel plated. components were sourced from the leaders in their fields such as brembo brakes and marzocchi suspension.
