Description

The Velocette twins are a fascinating chapter in motorcycle history. The Roarer and Model O were innovative designs that showcased the company's engineering prowess, with features such as twin contra-rotating crankshafts and inline cranks. However, their development was cut short by the onset of war, which also put an end to the production of the Model O, a bike that would have been the first 'Superbike'. The Goodman family, who owned Veloce Ltd, shifted focus towards producing motorcycles for the masses, but drew on the ideas from the Roarer and Model O to create the LE range. This book provides an in-depth analysis of these bikes, comparing their design specifications and illustrating how the ideas developed in this exercise appeared in the LE range. Written by authors with a deep understanding of Velocette twins, this book offers a unique insight into the engineering and design decisions that shaped these iconic motorcycles.
