John Brittian Is a name that is well know in the Motorcycle industry. From a young age he was fascinated with motorized vehicles and was very advanced in his ability to make his own by the age of elevon. John is most well know for a motorcycle that he made called the Brittian V1000, this bike was revolutionary to say the least. John’s philosophy was that to beat some of the biggest names in the industry you need to do it different from how they do it. His bikes weren’t like anything else on the race track and, when the bike would run properly, held their own against Ducati; which were the fastest bikes of the time. John Brittian was visionary who wanted to make a bike like no other and through an immense amount of perseverance he succeeded. His bikes are known as works of art and held in high regard, to this day you will find his bikes in museums.
What an inspiring story John Brittian has. I think John perfectly shows that if you have the passion and desire to do something, then the sky is the limit. I feel like people such as Brittian are necessary to remind the big names in industry not to get lazy and complacent because there are always hungry young minds willing to shake things up.
The idea of being different is one that can lead to success quite well. If you can’t be the best or first then be different. John did just that with his design and builds and put one of the most well respected race bike companies to the test.
