best bike @ BARBER museum

i my two trips to barber, i saw an astounding number of of beautiful , historic bikes (2-3 of which i once owned) but the unit that intrigued me most was a V8 ! Z1 kawasaki.some bloke from England fabricated new engine cases, crank etc.,to make a v8.the only thing that gave it away was about 3 inches of streched frame in front of the fuel tank.amazing to me to me that someone could put that much effort into a "cottage project' as it was a one off labor of love.the model i lust the max for... BRITTEN V1000.your thoughts.......
