Hesketh 24 is 1950cc v-twin, cradled in a steel frame. The massive engine produces 120 bhp and will sport a 2 into 1 into 3 exhaust. The bike also has Beringer Brakes, Ohlins Front and Rear suspension and BST Carbon Fibre Wheels. The 24 sports a 22.7 litre fuel tank, which is housed below the engine!
Hesketh Motorcycles was started in the 80's and was kept in memory of the public by James Hunt. The bike is thus based on the James Hunt's GP Winning Car, which he raced for Hesketh in 1973. The number '24' also comes from Hunt's winning number. They will be only 24 units produced of this motorcycle initially and will be available in February 2014. Two seat version will available shortly thereafter.
