The British made Hesketh V1000, first launched in 1981 featured Marzocchi suspension and Brembo brakes. The V1000 did not sell well. Later a faired tourer, the Hesketh Vampire was introduced, it too proved to be unpopular with the masses.

Despite the failure of Lord Hesketh's ventures into the world of motorcycling, the marque has persisted for three decades. Most recently Hesketh Motorcycles have opened a new shop/workshop in Kingswood Surrey. you can see details at HeskethMotorcycles.co.uk The Hesketh Owners Club are celebrating their 30-Year Anniversary in 2012 and you can see a lot more pictures and info about Hesketh v-twins at the owners club website: HeskethOwnersClub.org.uk
