Britten Motorcycle Company
Britten Motorcycle Company Ltd has evolved from a core of enthusiasts motivated and inspired by John Britten’s dreams and projected vision to create a unique phenomenon.The Britten Team have created this Web Site to give you the opportunity to look inside the world of Britten. The Britten Motorcycle Company Ltd operates on secure premises in central Christchurch, New Zealand. The small factory, with eight full time staff and a pool of freelance workers available, includes all facilities necessary to design and manufacture the V1000 racer, such as carbon-curing, dyno-testing, machining, painting, etc. Access to an international-length race track is just a short drive away. Being a university city and the major centre of New Zealand’s South Island, Christchurch contains other facilities essential for the design and production of a motorcycle, such as a wind tunnel, foundrys and electronics support industries.
The Britten Motorcycle Company keeps in contact with its worldwide core of supporters by the internet, while its main sponsors and helpers are kept up to date with faxed PR releases after major race events. Often the presence of the Britten team at a race meeting raises the profile of the event as interest in the innovative motorcycle transcends the sporting boundaries. As well the Britten Motorcycle Company has a portable display featuring the work of the company and one of its race-winning motorcycles available for promotional activities. This creates a drawcard for fundraisers, tourism facilities, trade shows and retailers. The aura built up around the Britten V1000 is largely due to the fact that is was the first prototype-motorcycle to achieve consistent race success. The ideas incorporated in the machine all worked and the technicians and riders drawn to the project combined different areas of ground-breaking expertise to develop the concept.
