The Velocette motorcycle company is an old, high quality British manufacture of motorcycles. Best known for 500cc singles of various sporting tunes. The epitome of the brand was the Thruxton. A higher tuned engine putting out 42HP, performance front brake, and sporty seat and clip ons..
The name Thruxton comes from the famous motorcycle races held at the Thruxton Circuit in England. This model was designed to be a motorcycle you could ride on the street to the race circuit, then race it and win..
The last Velocette was built in 1970 when technology simply passed the company by.
By today's standards they are not fast, but still a joy to ride. Great handling and the smooth, relaxing power of a big British single..
