This guy in Nelson built his own!
Based on a Honda Bros.
I think the Britten factory along with Casbolts (as they were quite close) should build a replica kit around a VTR1000, just the body work and some sort of exhaust system would build a pretty good replica, dont ya think?

I've been lucky enough to meet 2 of the bikes in the flesh, Te Papa and on a tour thing they did.
What im still wondering is why are the top bike manufactures(sp?) not taking the positive aspects of the britten bike incorperating them into their bikes? like eliminating the dead spot of air infront of the rear wheel and having the air run 'through' the bike instead of around it?
Probably all to do with patent's and copyrights i guess??
