Velocette Vogue 1963 - 68
Unfortunately, it was more expensive than the similar and more powerful Ariel Leader, and only 400 examples were built during its 5 year production run.
It was very neatly finished with footboards and a car like dash, but the engine only produced 8 bhp which gave a top speed of around 60 mph/ 100 km/h.
Very rare now, I've never seen one other than in a museum, but it's an interesting example of a 'different' type of bike.
Touring with 8 bhp? Well, at least you'd have time to look at the scenery.
ReplyDeleteThat's why I put touring in inverted commas. I think 'urban commuter' would be a better description.
