Velocette Venom
Velocette designed and manufactured this single-cylinder motorcycle. It was a 4-stroke 499 cc motorcycle that was distributed between 1955 and 1970. In that time frame, 5,721 bikes were sold. A cool fact about the manufacturing of these is that a team of riders actually set the 24-hour world record driving at 100.05 mph in the factory where they were made. At the time it made the Venom the first of its size to reach a speed of over 100 mph for 24 hours.

Honda NR500
Made especially for the Grand Prix, the NR500 was not mass-produced for everyday drivers. Honda had released multiple faster motorcycles around the same time so this was designed in entirety for the track. It was designed to win, however, when it raced at the 1979 British Grand Prix it never made it to the end of the race.
