The 500cc Venom was my first big bike after I passed my test here in the UK on a BSA 250 C15 Super Sport. I loved the exhaust (looks and note) of the Venom, its handling. It had an easily adjustable neat rear suspension unit and a pretty weird clutch as I remember. Great bikes. Didn't the police once have a so-called Noddy bike, a water-cooled LE200?
