BSA Rocket

The Triumph Trident (also known as the BSA Rocket) was a motorcycle sold under both the BSA and Triumph brands as part of a strategy to expand the model range beyond the 650cc parallel twins. The Trident is equipped with a 750cc air-cooled engine, four speeds, and a standard frame and suspension. However, due to financial troubles at BSA, just 27,480 Triumph Tridents were constructed during a seven-year period.

Velocette Thruxton

The Thruxton was the ultimate evolution of the Venom, first displayed at the Earls Court Show in 1964. Prior to Velocette’s demise in 1971, about 1,108 Thruxtons were produced. Since then, a member of the Velocette Owners has set up a register to prevent the swapping of bogus parts. Thruxtons made an impression on the racing world in 1967, when two machines finished first and second in the 500cc Production TT.
