I've recently received my motorcycle license, and have been looking at either the honda rebel 250 or yamaha v-star 250. But I came across this bike over the internet and wondered if anyone has any idea as to what this bike is.

Thanks for any help.

Could be a matchless,an AJC even a vincient or NSU ?

If she's the seller, it wouldn't hurt to drop by and ask.

The question is: does she come with the bike?

Now if the message is bikes like that get girls like her then to hell with the Ninja, I'm gonna get me whatever the hell that is... could it be a Norton?

I think it's a Panther.

What bike?

This is a Velocette Venom Thruxton. The fishtail muffler is a dead giveaway for a Velocette. The scooped front drum is also a tell tale sign.

Here is a clear picture of a stock Thruxton.

Thanks Hyperr.

Many european bikes used a fish tail however

True it did become a popular aftermarket accessory for other British bikes of the time. That being said, the fishtail muffler has always been associated with the Velocettes as they are the ones that came with it stock.

Regardless, the bike posted by the OP is a Velocette.
