V2 Alchemy circa 1988
Pondering the ones that got away
(January 2022)
It's year 2000 and this V2 Alchemy special is up for sale at a substantial Au$11,500 (US$8200, GB£6100). These Ducati-based machines were produced by Brook Henry's V2 outfit in Western Australia in low numbers, essentially built to order.
Henry's crew (from the 1980s-on) took a bevel Ducati engine, treated it to a new single-shock shock chassis and did some pretty interesting engine work.
Now, similar machines are being put on
the market for closer to Au$30,000 (US$21,000, GB£16,000)
depending on spec and condition.
There are of course exceptions. A rare race version is currently on the market through Bikesales, priced at a somewhat sobering Au$165,000 (US$118,000, GB£87,000. See it here.
