I remember you mentioning that a while back & talking about the one ChCh Motorcycles back in the day.
Thought the articles would be an interesting read

nah broom retired a couple of years ago, the new ones are using another motor and the hesketh badge, very little like the original

they were way to tall and would've only suited a few riders in the end

yeah i seen the S&S hardley tie in. thought he was still doing them but it appears as you said, hes not.

I can't say I was ever impressed. They were so expensive for something that did not offer anything better than a top end bike of the day and IMO looked dated from day dot.

All very ra-ra-I inherited too much money and I am British really.

No doubt becoming collectible now.

The Valiant looks like a total departure from the original for sure, 2.1lt supercharged though. Frame looks like a step backwards

:blink: Comparative Hp to the Jap 1lt fours and only a V-twin though a dohc 4v V-twin was way in advance of any other V-twin at the time ;)
