if i live to 100 years old i will never get into my head why Velocette produced the Valiant.
Velocette made a decent motorcycle that handled pretty good,had decent brakes and above all was quite reliable.The only bug bear on all Velo,s was they were badly let down by poor electrics dam Miller and Wipac equipment which was not much better than oil lights but not as reliable as oil lights.lol.
The Valiant was really a last ditch effort by the company to try to gain some market for smaller machines and after the late fifties to try to steal some market from the Japanese invasion,
the Valiant was vastly overpriced and dreadfully underpowered ,it never really caught on .
How a company like Velocette who produced one of the best looking motorcycles ever the Mark eight KTT could produce something like that escapes me.
