The Precursor
The Precursor was the first bike that John Britten and his talented team built completely from scratch.
- With a V-twin and water-cooled engine, The Precursor was the bike that took Kiwi engineer John Britten to the next level on the world stage
- How? When, at the 1991 Daytona race, it finished second only to a factory Ducati bike – that’s right, a bike made by one of the biggest manufacturers in the world
- This achievement was no small feat for a group of young Kiwis dabbling in motorbike engineering in their spare time.
Nothing’s as good as seeing the real deal: to admire this beauty up close and to find out more technical details, make sure you come on into Classic Motorcycle Mecca – the leading classic motorcycle collection in the Southern Hemisphere.
We’ve done our utmost to ensure details about each bike in our extensive collection are accurate: but if you spot something that’s not quite right, we’d love to hear from you.
“Got to see it to believe it... Outstanding collection of motorcycles.”
