458 Hesketh V1000 (1982)

Hesketh V1000 (1982) Engine 992cc Production 150
Registration Number KPT 287 Y

Developed from 1980. at Lord Heskeths Eaton Neaston Estate, after two years the V1000 was announced to the press and the project moved to a modern purpose built factory was set up to manufacture the Hesketh V1000 motorcycles in Daventry.
he V-twin V1000 (based loosely on the marketing panache of the Vincent Motorcycle but looking much-like a contemporary Ducati 860GT), offered all sorts of advances; for example, it was the first British bike with four valves per cylinder and twin overhead camshafts (although commonplace in Japanese machines).
