Ariel Super Sports
What is your favourite classic motorbike of all time?
The Ariel Arrow arrived in 1960 as an unfaired alternative to the Leader and shortly afterwards the Arrow Super Sports was announced, giving the company a stable of three two-stroke twins. Immediately christened "The Golden Arrow" due to its handsome finish in polychromatic gold, the new machine was not just a new grooming, as the power was raised by the fitting of a large bore carburettor, now 20bhp at 6,600rpm. On test the top speed was 75mph and acceleration was very brisk up to 60mph. As popular as the Leader and Arrow, the Super Sports won the prestigious Motor Cycle News "Machine of the year" award in 1961.
