MSS 1953-68, 499cc, ohv single, 400lb, 60mpg, 80mph

Gentle touring 500, the last of the breed with good steering, comfort & reliability. Traditional separate engine & gearbox with a strange clutch arrangement.

Venom 1956-68, 499cc, ohv single, 400lb, 55mpg, 95mph

Sports single in the Classic British tradition. Quick, precise steering & capable of high cruising speeds. The Venom clubman is the most highly prized & highly priced model. Basically a stretched Viper. Built in the traditional 'Boy Racer Style' of it's time.

Thruxton 1964-71, 499cc, ohv single, 390lb, 50mpg, 105mph

The last of the line & priced up like the BSA GoldStars & Norton Interstates. Collectors seem to own most of them these days.
