Velocette - a name which epitomises the British approach to motor-cycle design - developed the Venom and Viper models in the 1940s up to production in the mid-fifties. These classic motorcycles further evolved into Scramblers, Endurance Specials, Clubman and ultimately the Thruxton models. This book follows this story and includes chapters on technical appraisal and evolution of the engine, the transmission and the cycle parts.

Velocette is one of the most respected names in the history of the motorcycle. Though not as numerous or as successful, as some machines, the motorbikes produced by the Veloce company in Birmingham command a special respect and an extremely loyal following, and machines such as the KTT and Thruxton are among the most desirable classic bikes you can buy today.

In 1961, a production 500cc Velocette Venom Clubman Veeline achieved a world record, twenty-four hours at a speed of 100.05 mph. It was the first motorbike of any size to perform the feat, and to this date no other motorbike of comparable size has equalled or bettered its record. It was the culmination of almost fifty-five years of technological excellence from the Birmingham factory, a time that had seen the company win both the Junior and Senior TT numerous times, as well as many other races throughout Europe and the UK.
