V1000 Aero-D-One

• The Aero-D-One originally burst onto the scene in 1985
• On loan to us from the Britten family, the dynamic Aero-D-One, in particular, made a lasting impact on motorcycle design internationally and was widely acclaimed
• The Aero-D-One started out as a styling project for John Britten, and featured an extended aerodynamic front with spoilers
• Britten designed the bike with an sleek shape, which conformed to its riders' body
• Two bikes were initially constructed from the original mould: the Aero-D-Zero for engine builder Mike Brosnan, and the Aero-D-One for John Britten himself
• The Aero-D-One model has an incredible story: from the construction of its fairing through to the tale of how the bike came to be fitted with a Kiwi-built engine instead of the Ducati version Britten originally envisaged
• Like any new design the Aero-D-One was struck with some niggly teething issues in the beginning: but the team behind the build showed their class when it came to finding solutions to these.
