    I saw a program on Discovery abt bikes and they covered this very bike . John Britten was a genius , competing with factory teams and winning . Saw the guy making the parts himself .....great mind . Innovative suspension too .

    Heard of Andy Stevenson or something ? He built 2 bikes called ASP1 and ASP ( Andy Stevenson Prortype 1 and 2 ), using no chassis at all , the body was carbonfibre and bolted on the engine .
    Man will occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of the time he will pick himself up and continue on.

            Yeah even I remember reading an article about this bike in Auto India I think. Must be around 5-6 years back.

            Forgot to add...each of the ten bikes sold cost $140000 apiece.

                    one of the frends was talking abtt his bike 2-3 days back as well
                    i knew i wud find abt this bike on xbhp itself..
                    very costly for the obvious reason that it was made by John Britton
                    and making only 10 bikes does help in steeping the price and keeping it exclusive...
