    Is an MV F4 Oro a dime a dozen to you? Do you scoff at those everyday NR750 Hondas? These guys have the bike for you.

    This would truly be for the collector that has everything. Only something like a V8 Guzzi, or a Lawrence of Arabia Brough Superior would compare, IMO.

    Why hasn't Leno bought this thing yet?

    What a beautiful machine. I think I recall seeing a short bit about the designer/owner of the company not long ago. I believe he passed away from cancer or some illness not long after the sucess at Daytona. If I'm correct such a sad situation, but what incredibly beautiful machines. I think Jay Leno has his hands full with that turbine powered beast of his to take on this thing yet. :D

    If I could have one car, just one, it would be a McLaren F1.

    If I could have one bike, just one, it would be a Britten V-twin.

    here, here!

    it really is stunning and i would love to have one as well!

    in 97 i was racing ccs weekend at daytona and was on the track with the britten on the first practice day. it was just after john britten had passed away and his wife was running the bikes ...i guess in his memory. aron stroud was the ridder and i remember getting passed by him just beyond nascar 2 ...it was just ground pounding!!

    great memory, even if i got spanked!!
