Royal-Enfield-1960-350cc-Bullet
Boost peak power output to 21 bhp @ 6,500 rpm by various tweaks, add a bigger front stopper, drop the handlebar ends, spray on some
lustrous polychromatic paint and dip the lot in the chrome vat and this is how the “350 Clipper” emerged!
In fairness there was a little more to it than that, but in essence the 1960 “350 Bullet” was a sporting variant of its rather plain class-mate.
Again, Royal Enfield was keeping faith with a fast disappearing market sector in continuing this model. Twins were taking over and rorty
singles were not going to be the future. New for ‘60 on the Bullet was an entirely AC/DC lighting and ignition system, gone was the magneto
ignition of yore, a contact breaker housing taking the place of the old ‘mag’. In that much, at least, Redditch was following a trend.
Keywords: Royal Enfield, 1960, 350 Clipper, Clipper, Glass Plate, Tried and Tested, Tried & Tested, Motorcycle

Royal-Enfield-1960-350cc-Clipper-01
70mm x 90mm bore and stroke dimensions gave the Clipper its 346cc capacity. The 17 bhp
developed by this alloy-head, ohv motor, was identical with that obtained from the 248cc “Crusader
Sports” but, there was much more low-down grunt, more flexibility and with peak power coming in
at 5,500 rpm, a more leisurely ride.
A q.d., rear wheel was standard and the 33/4 gallon tank offered a good touring range. This was a
single-cylinder motorcycle in the best British tradition, would there be enough takers out there to
justify its well-intentioned makeover?

WD600589@044 Gp Test Sateli
Peugeot Satelis RS 500

[TINTED PRICE BOX OUT]
RRP: £4699 (OTR including £800 discount)

[TEXT]
I was the first person in the country to ride the Satelis 500 at its’ UK launch a few years ago and I loved the scooter back then. Even now the scooter still looks as good as it did – better in fact thanks to this special RS version. Peugeot know how to build a good-looking scooter and this one is no exception. The obvious difference to the standard Satelis is the black paintwork with contrasting red trim, but it also comes with conventional brakes, as opposed to the ‘Executive’ model with ABS (a fact that helps to make the RS as sporty as it looks and save a few quid). With twin 260mm discs up front and a single 240mm disc at the rear, stopping is never going to be a problem; in fact the brakes are a little bit too sharp until you get used to them and it’s quite easy to lock the wheels if you use them in anger. Peugeot know how to make nice looking instruments and I’d say the clocks on the Satelis are as classy, crisp and clear as on any other bike or scooter on the market. They’re just so good looking and useable with their white fascias and crystal clear display that they put the lack lustre efforts of the other manufacturers to shame.
To help keep the Satelis as rigid on the road as possible Peugeot use 40mm forks up front and four position adjustable twin rear shocks. The shocks work with Peugeots Dual Swinging Linkage (DSL) engine mounting system to give great handling characteristics and it seems to work. The Piaggio derived engine is fuel injected and has plenty of power (38bhp) both from a standing start and in the mid range. It’ll hit just over an indicated 100mph and those few extra cc’s are noticeable over the Majesty and Burgman. Even at high speed the excellent chassis feels solid and stable and the scooter didn’t seem to suffer quite as badly as the other three in the wind. Everything on the Satelis looks well put together and is finished perfectly. Perhaps

Few great racers make great engineers. Sidecar driver Helmut Fath was most definitely the exception to the rule. Captured here deep in concentration as, along with long-time passenger Wolfgang Kalauch, he drifts the URS outfit, a machine built entirely with his own hands, into a fast Oulton Park sweeper during the 1968 International meeting. Working in a tiny workshop, German Fath managed to build a four-cylinder engine so powerful, and reliable, that it took him and Kalauch to that season’s World Championship, denying the previously dominant BMW crews victory.

Outspoken American Kenny Roberts arrived in Europe fearing no one and once on the track it was easy to see why. Captured here during the 1976 Anglo American Match Races, at Oulton Park, Roberts clearly isn’t bothered by an unruly 750 Yamaha and the close proximity of the railway sleepers that line the circuit. Having been brought up on the dirt track ovals in his native USA, neither an excess of power nor a slippery track fazed the tough Californian. Roberts went on to win the blue-ribbon 500 title three times, in 1978/79/80, for Yamaha and after moving on to team management witnessed his son Kenny Junior take the title in 2000 riding for the rival Suzuki team, a feat no other father and son have equalled.

1965 – THE ALTERNATIVE VIEW
Scooters and Swinging Britain as seen through the eyes of Motor Cycle magazine

Alternative to what exactly? Well, you may be under the impression that 1965 was a seminal year of pep pill fuelled power pop featuring defining moments in music, fashion and film. But to those over thirty it mattered not a jot that Bob Dylan had gone electric. In this time of far less media saturation than today, it was much easier to create your own reality by restricting your reading matter to publications that confirmed your view of the world and ignoring everything else.
Motor Cycle was one such publication that gave a reassuring impression that nothing had really changed in the last ten years or so. Scooterists were still considered to be a bit daft and it was reported with some glee that Lambrettas running-in instructions included the immortal instruction: “In winter, let the engine idle for some minutes in order to warm up before starting”!
The Isle of Man Scooter Week took place as usual with a couple from Sweden winning the Loving Cup on their SS180. Incidentally, the attendance of 411 scooters was reported as being a record for this event, which rather suggests that some earlier events must have been rather small affairs. As always, any British scooter launch was eagerly reported upon, so the new Triumph T10 was given a fair amount of space and such a machine was won by Heather Desert in the ‘National Personality Girl’ contest. Unfortunately, the T10 was to be the last serious British attempt at a mass produced scooter.
‘Publicity runs’ were still in evidence and a couple of Britons (Bob Forrest Webb and Ian Speller), had carried out a Croydon backed non-stop journey from London to Milan on a GT200. On reaching Milan they posed dressed up as city gents. Other than the scooter itself, the whole episode has more of a feel of 1958 about it rather than 1965.
More general news included that of Douglas ceasing Vespa production at Kingswood, an ‘experiment
