Velocette MAC
What is your favourite motorcycle of all time?
After the war Velocette continued with their tradition of black and gold singles of high performance with ohv or ohc engines. The 349cc overhead valve MAC was perhaps the most impressive three-fifty of the early 1950s, it was fast (for its cubic capacity), smooth and refined. Redesigned in 1951, it lost much of its 1930's look with a fresh one-piece light-alloy cylinder head, rocker box barrel and enlarged timing chest. In 1953 the solid frame was replaced by one with a full pivoted fork with adjustment for ride stiffness possible by moving the tops of the springs fore and aft in articulate slots arranged in rear-frame extensions.
