That small requirement aside most of the Brit singles were bulletproof and lasted years .
But the bulletproof ones did not go like a bullet and the ones that did had as many bullet holes in them as Jeff's bike.

I submit the Velocette Venom. It put out 42 hp from a 500, went like shit off a shovel and handled beautifully. One of the best bikes ever.

The Triumph "Twenty One" (3TA) was/is a great machine.
