Royal-Enfield-1960-350cc-Clipper
Royal Enfield’s model designations began to get complicated at about this point; as the “350 Clipper” for 1960 was more in tune with the; spec level of the standard 250 “Crusader”; rather than its “250 Clipper” namesake. Actually; this was a new introduction and a breakaway; from earlier middleweight Clippers; in that it represented a detuned and dechromed “Bullet”; rather than the utility model it had previously; been.; By reducing the compression ratio; fitting 6” diameter brakes; touring ‘bars; applying a sober mist grey/black paint finish and omitting most; of the chrome; the sporty “Bullet” had bred the new “350 Clipper”.; At a moment when others in the industry were moving to scaled-up 250s for their middle capacity mounts; Enfield were staying faithful to; the scaled-down 500 approach; at least for another twelve months.

Sheenebookazine82
The lap record of 137.150mph Sheene set in winning the 1977 Belgian GP at Spa-Francorchamps remains the fastest ever at a motorcycle Grand Prix and due to changes in track design it is highly unlikely that it will ever be bettered. Spa was the scene of his first ever GP win in 1971 and he is pictured leading Roberts in 1978.

A cammy Velocette KTT MkVII at Creg-ny-Baa pictured just three years after Bob Foster secured Velocetts second 350cc World Championship. The factory had earlier stopped KTT production and the design wasn't to be updated or re-designed. It was short-sleeve order for the spectators, but then the sun always shone .... or is it just our rose-tinted spectacles adn memories of time s gone by.

The flamboyant helmet design of Graziano Rossi, captured here at Spa Francorchamps in a rare shot aboard the Marlboro Yamaha in 1982, and equally distinctive riding style, have all the all the hallmarks of his son Valentino. Rossi senior only managed 23rd in the 500cc World Championship that season, but had been placed as high as fifth, in the 1980 title race. Better known as a 250 runner, Rossi should have won the 1979 250 title aboard the factory Morbidelli, but his campaign came apart mid-season.

Ducati cruiser
Ducati Cruser - The Cruiser was the first ever scooter ever made by Ducati. It was a very advanced design when it debuted in 1951 with a single cylinder 175cc ohv engine, automatic transmission with a hydraulic torque converter, shaft drive, 12 volt electrics and an electric start – the first on a scooter. With bodywork by Ghia and a two-tone paint job the Cruiser was a very nice piece of kit, but the engine had to be detuned for the Italian market and was limited to 50mph. It was too expensive for a country still bearing the scars of WWII and went out of production after two years with only about 2000 sold.

Stirling Moss and Harry Secombe (larking about at the Grosvenor House launch for the Triumph/BSA). It was a handsome scooter rather let down by the poor detail design - just look at the kick-start for example! Sir Stirling (as he is now) was the original 'celebrity sportsman for hire' but nonetheless was - and still is a committed scooterist - mostly associated with Vespa/Piaggio.
