Velocette Venom
English manufacturer Velocette manufactured a single-cylinder motorcycle called the Venom. It had a 4-stroke 499 cc engine and was distributed from 1955 until 1970. During that time frame, the company sold 5,721 units. As if it were not an impressive enough vehicle, it is also a record holder. Did you know that a team of riders set the world record for driving at 100.05 mph for 24 hours in the manufacturing plant? It was the first vehicle of that size to do such a thing.

Honda NR500
The Japanese company did not make the NR500 for the general public. Instead, it was designed for the Grand Prix! At the time, Honda had released a couple of faster models, so this one was made solely for the track. Sadly, it failed to reach the end of the race when it took part in the British Grand Prix in 1979.
