  • Yes sorry t isn't fishtail side around, my bad. Great bike, quite revvy due to the 86 x86 bore/stroke. I used to love taking it uup and over the Sloc and round table on the Isle of Man. You could advance the ignition and hit an indicated 90mph with less vibration than most Brit bikes

  • Love Velocettes - that's a terrific bike. I had a fabulous giggle chasing one down a twisty mountain pass a couple of years ago on a 68 Honda CL175. Lots of peg and boot scraping, and at the limit of what I was comfortable with. Frankly the Velo looked a lot more composed than the Honda felt. It cleared off once we started going back up. Sadly, the fella I was chasing ended up in a ditch later that day with a sprained shoulder. Not much damage to the bike fortunately.

  • Brilliant. Yes you could heel it over into a corner and it would hold its line perfectly. The Avon tyres it ran on are probably no wider than a fat bike
