Comments from the seller

VELOCETTE 1948 KSS-OHC 350 cc - Road racing bike with frame change 1948 Velocette KSS 350 cc bike with a modified frame. The frame has been modified with swing arm and hydraulic suspension units. 1948 Engine Number 10699. The bike is a 1948 build, but I could only select 1947 from the Bikesales menu. Motor has had some KTT modifications to the cam and oil way. The bike has been sympathetically restored over the last 2 years. Also with the complete bike are 2 complete motors, 2 complete gearboxes, frame and various parts. 1. KSS-OHC 350cc 1948 Engine number 10801 2. KSS-OHC 350cc 1947 Engine number 10044 3. 2x Spare gear boxes Number BR16 4. Spare ridged frame with engine + gear box, plate, exhaust pipe, spare wheels, counter shaft sprocket, TT carburettor spares, jets, slides, needles, etc. Also included are special tools that are required for Velocette motors and overhead camshaft KSS-KTT. I raced the KSS Velocette for many years and was very successful in many races. I then moved to race a 650 Triumph – the Velocette was dismantled and stored by me for the past 30 years. My reason for selling is that I am 85 and not capable of starting and riding the bike.But there must be someone in the motor bike world that can make good use and enjoy the bike as much as I did. SALE PRICE $75,000 – THIS IS BEING SOLD AS A FULL PACKAGE – WILL NOT SPLIT. Call Stan on 0427 555 025
