Velocette LE 200cc

Reg. no. PKX 755

Frame no. 15470

Engine no. 200/16938

The Velocette LE – ‘Little Engine’ – was a common sight for well over 20 years on the roads of Britain and are most often associated with the police – over 50 forces used them during their 23-year production run from 1948. In police use, the bikes became known as ‘Noddy Bikes’ – not due to any link to the well-known children’s book character, but rather due to the fact that the junior police riders who usually rode them were required to nod to their superiors when passing – a salute would have been the norm, but this was not encouraged as it involved removing a hand from the handlebars. Thus, nodding police officers chugging along on this distinctive bike became a common sight.

This 200cc LE is very genuine and appears to be complete; although starting has not been attempted, it turns over freely. There aren’t any documents.

Extra details and estimates:

£1,000 - 2,000

VELOCETTE VENOM 500cc

Registration: 385 GKD

Frame Number: RS9118

Side Car: No

Number of cylinders: 1

CC: 500

Estimate (£): 6,800 - 7,800

• Velocette's class-leading single from the early sixties
• From a small private collection
• Rear-set rests, clip-ons, and chrome mudguards 
• Generally very good, just needs some light recommissioning

Introduced in 1956 to replace the ageing MSS, the 500cc Venom and its little 350cc brother were logical developments of Velocette's touring singles. The Viper always lived in the shadow of the Venom which grew to become a true legend in its own lifetime as the definitive British sporting single after BSA and the venerable Gold Star had given up the fight for supremacy.  Such was the popularity of the Venom its production continued until 1971 when Velocette went into liquidation.

Velocette, whilst relatively small, was a great technical innovator and many of its patented designs are commonplace on motorcycles today, including the positive-stop foot change and swinging arm rear suspension with hydraulic dampers.

This 500cc Venom appears to be in good clean condition, having been in a small collection for several years. It's been fitted with popular rear-set rests, clip-ons, and chrome mudguards giving it a slight 'café racer' feel. The paintwork and chrome are good and the whole bike looks very attractive. We understand it runs and rides smoothly with only light fettling (lights/set up etc) required to recommission completely.
