1950cc?
So, I'm guessing about 120 ft/lb torque also?
Should be a roll-on beast.

Lord Hesketh is still building bikes? Did not know that.

Looks a bit different from the original Hesketh bike that was designed after the Hesketh F1 team was sold years ago.

I saw Lord Hesketh in the paddock at Watkins Glen in the 70's with his driver Jame Hunt. I thought Hesketh looked to be Benny Hill's brother.

It looks like a fat German kid; all pudgy and bloated.
Can't decide what bike you want? Here's the all-new Heathkit SuperTurd.
It's a café racer! It's a supersport! It's a cruiser! It's a standard! Yes, it's all four in one!!

Beautiful lines. Looks like it would be a torque monster.

I wrote a letter to Hesketh back when he was building the L-twin bikes. He responded very enthusiastically. Those bikes had some teething problems but looked the part. I saw one at an antique bike show at the Rhinebeck Aerodrome in NY last summer. For what it is worth, I hope he succeeds this time. If Norton can do it, so can he.
