1966 Velocette Venom

Lovely bike. I don't buy your theory about why the engines sloped as BSA also made an upright engined bike that year of the same capacity with OHV & that had a sadle tank. More likely is this.... BSA had TT racers a few years earlier with low slung sloping engines & its probable they designed a range of road bikes aimed at youngsters to mimic the look of those racers.
