Summary
This 1970 Velocette Thruxton boasts a racing history, having been raced in vintage classes from 1980 to 1986 after being brought to the US in 1971. Powered by a 499cc single paired with a four-speed transmission, it features clip-on handlebars, adjustable-angle shocks, and a chrome exhaust system with a Brooklands-style muffler. Recent work included replacing the battery and changing the oil, though the Dunlop tires show cracking and the tachometer flickers.
