Ariel FH Huntmaster
What is your favourite classic motorbike of all time?
The Ariel Huntmaster 650cc twin was introduced for 1954 with BSA engine in the new Ariel frame and finish. The BSA motor may have been the beginning of the erosion of marque identity, but Bert Hopwood's already reliable single-cam 650 A10 engine, only superficially modified, combined with the Ariel duplex frame, and Ariel standards of finish, produced a well loved machine. A claimed 35bhp @ 5600rpm gave the FH a top speed of around 100mph and for a 410lb machine the economy was good too, returning as high as 70mpg solo and 55mpg with a chair attached.
