The Hesketh V1000 is a 992 cc (60.5 cu in) OHC V-twin motorcycle with 4 valves per cylinder. It was originally designed and built by Hesketh Motorcycles in Daventry, Northamptonshire. Sales proved disappointing as the motorcycle was expensive and, at 86 bhp, it was somewhat underpowered given its hefty dry weight of 244 kg (538 lb). A Motor Cycle News review said "the engine has a classic simplicity, delivering a modest 86 bhp at just 6500 rpm", adding buyers seeing the Hesketh V1000 as an 80s Vincent twin should "understand it’s a handbuilt, relatively sedate, classic British motorcycle".

| - La Hesketh V1000 è una motocicletta bicilindrica a V da 992 cm³ di cilindrata, con distribuzione a camme in testa a 4 valvole per cilindro. È stata originariamente progettata e costruita dalla Hesketh Moto a Daventry, Northamptonshire. Le vendite si sono dimostrate al di sotto delle aspettative, visti i costi della moto e i problemi di affidabilità; la potenza assoluta (86 CV su un peso di 244 kg) non era al top ma non era distante dalle quattro cilindri giapponesi di pari cilindrata dell'epoca, che si aggiravano sui 90 cv per 250 kg e oltre.
- Die Hesketh V 1000 ist ein Motorrad des englischen Herstellers Hesketh Motorcycles, das 1980 vorgestellt und ab 1981 gebaut wurde (von Hesketh Motorcycles bis zum Konkurs 1984, danach von Broom Development). Es galt seinerzeit als „Rolls Royce auf zwei Rädern“.

Circa 150 moto V1000 sono state prodotte prima che la società venisse liquidata nel 1982. Da allora, Mick Broom ha continuato lo sviluppo e la produzione. Nel 2010 le attività sono state rilevate da imprenditore Paul Sleeman, che ha resuscitato il marchio con una rinnovata produzione limitata.

Sales proved disappointing as the motorcycle was expensive and, at 86 bhp, it was somewhat underpowered given its hefty dry weight of 244 kg (538 lb). Some 149 V1000 motorcycles were produced before the company was wound up in August 1982, after which time Mick Broom continued development and production. In 2010 the assets were taken over by entrepreneur Paul Sleeman, who resurrected the brand with a renewed limited production run. A Motor Cycle News review said "the engine has a classic simplicity, delivering a modest 86 bhp at just 6500 rpm", adding buyers seeing the Hesketh V1000 as an 80s Vincent twin should "understand it’s a handbuilt, relatively sedate, classic British motorcycle".
