It would wipeout my entire retirement savings to buy this bike. I think that there were only one or two that were made with the yellow and black paint. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tell me what makes this rare motorcycle so different from all the other motorcycles Britten died just as his skill was being known and acknowledged for this water cooled twin. Also didn't he live somewhere really isolated so if he needed a part he just had to make it and that is why the bike doesnt have a frame?? I think I saw a movie on Britten 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
