High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Velocette Thruxton was a British motorcycle made between 1965 and 1971 by Velocette. The final development of the Velocette antiquated pushrod single, the Velocette Venom and is sometimes referred to as the Venom Thruxton. Many surviving examples are 'upgraded' replicas based on the Venom. The Thruxton ceased production only when the company folded in 1971.The well proven Venom was improved by Velocette designer Bertie Goodman with rearward placed footrests and brake and gear pedals, close-ratio four speed gearbox, alloy rims, duplex front brake and 'clip-on' handle bars. The engine gained a race specification cylinder head to accommodate extra-large valves and a downdraught inlet port. A single Amal carburettor was fitted which was so large it required a special cut out in the fuel tank but delivered 41 bhp, 5 more than the Venom.
