Velocette Viper
What is your favourite motorcycle of all time?
Velocette's designer, Charles Udall developed the 349cc Viper in 1955/6 with a bi-metal cylinder barrel, light-alloy head and hairpin valve springs. Its 72x86mm top half was mounted on a double of the Venom's bottom end, making for a smooth running and pretty much "unburstable" unit. Top speed was around 90mph. In later years the Viper acquired extra tune through revised carburation, a BTH racing magneto and a raised compression ratio. Finally a comprehensive fairing wa\s fitted to the model and it became known by the factory as the Viper Clubman Veeline.
