Velocette Venom
What is your favourite motor cycle of all time?
As far as road-going 500 singles were concerned the pre-Thruxton Velocette Venom was at the top of the tree in terms of performance. In its so called Clubman's trim it had many aids to fast motorcycling such as light alloy wheel rims, BTH racing-type magnetto, Amal TT carburettor, rear-mounted foot rests and close-ratio gears. Top speed was 105mph, which from rest came up in around three-quarters of a minute. Power output was in the region of 36bhp.
