Watch: The Britten Bike with Bob Brookland and Craig Roberts

Bob Brookland and Craig Roberts share their memories of John Britten and explain what makes his world-beating motorbikes so unique.

The Britten V1000 is arguably Aotearoa New Zealand’s most famous motorbike – an iconic feat of design and engineering hand-built by John Britten and his team.

Bob and Craig remove the bodywork of the Britten V1000 revealing rarely seen working parts and talk about John and the 10 Britten Bikes. Audience questions and memories reveal more stories and details about John and the bikes.
