If that is not enough to float your boat, then Hesketh is hoping to increase te power to 250bhp when the bike is tested later this year. The supercharger in the bike has been supplied by Rotrex and was developed for the engine in collaboration with forced induction specialists TTS Performance.

Hesketh's Paul Sleeman said: "The supercharger idea was a just case of why not? Let's push things a little harder and see how compact we can get things in and around the twin."

The British bike maker wanted to keep things decidedly British everywhere else they possibly could on the bike. So, most of the parts were made and developed by UK based manufacturers. The bike features suspension which has been taken care of by K-tech and features the firm's Razor rear shock.

On the other hand, braking duties are handled by Pretech with a set of billet 12-piston calipers up front and a Beringer four-potter on the rear. The Speedometer is an old school one from Smiths, while the frame and swingarm are produced by Nottingham's GIA engineering. Other things have been taken care by Billet World in Derby which include the primary drive, rocker covers, and yokes.
