Out of respect to PowerDub's multicyl thread, I split this content off into a thread of it's own. If the subject of John Britten and the V1000 that he created is not worthy of a dedicated thread then I'm not sure what else would qualify (except for maybe Honda's CB1100). 
Cormanus, thanks for sharing! I hope that you don't mind me reposting your images here in this thread. They are spectacular — simply wonderful. I have seen a V1000 just once in my life while attending the original "The Art of the Motorcycle" at the Guggenheim Museum in NYC back in 1998. Unfortunately I have no photos from that show as our attendance there was purely coincidental. (Likely one of the dumbest strokes of luck that I've ever had.) Unless I am mistaken, I believe that they still have one of the remaining V1000's at the Barber Museum.
