LOL, not much, I used to be a pattern maker. Come on, how can you possibly say in honesty that that bike is even worthy of having the Britten name even associated with it FFS, it's a crappy old Honda which is BOG STOCK STANDARD with a body kit slapped on it. RICE

You're full of shit.

This thing looks MUCH better in the metal.
I saw it at the Nelson Port Races, thing looks great and sounds awesome.

It looks awesome. He has done well.

Who knows what they guys budget was to make the thing? To mock up a fairing from models and pictures, scale it to fit a completely different bike while keeping the shape and look must have taken fricken ages. If it was a company making fairing kits and profiting I could understand the negative comments. I'm surprised anyone with any engineering experience would fail to see the amount of work gone into the bike.

All the nay sayers are probably types that have never built a fucking thing themselves,as anyone thats built something knows just how much work goes into even the most basic build. Good on him for having a go.
If someone doesnt like it who cares,he probably loves it like a chocolate and at least he's had a go.

That one exploded in spectacular fashion at Manfeild some years ago in the hands of Stroudie I think.

I think its a poor attempt on a great bike. Is he just doing this to get rid of an old bike? putting Johns name on it so that it will sell for a higher price.
What would Johns wife say? does she get anything from this?
I think its a crap attempt and dirty way to make money.

I heard from a good source that when he told Kirsty about what he had done she said "Its great to see someone do what John never did" and she signed his John Britten Story book "dear to dream your own dreams" in 2003.
