The BSA Super Rocket was a 646 cc (39.4 cu in) air-cooled parallel twin motorcycle introduced in 1957 an improved sports bike member of the BSA A10 series, which at the time was struggling to compete against the Triumph engines and the Norton Featherbed frames. The Super Rocket retained the Amal TT carburettor and 356 sports cam of the Road Rocket, its compression was increased to 8.5:1 and a new alloy cylinder head was fitted. The cylinder head had a cast in inlet manifold with larger ports and valves. The crankshaft was stiffened compared to the previous models. These modifications increased power output to 43 bhp. Cycle World, the American motorcycle magazine, tested the Super Rocket at 116 mph

Probably the most sought after models produced by BSA are the Gold Star range of 350 and 500cc singles and the rare Rocket Gold Star 650cc twin of the late 50s early 60s. This classic 1958 DBD34 was tested at the factory on the 24th April 1958 and despatched to dealers Comerfords of Thames Ditton on the 8th May, being first registered for the road a couple of weeks later, built to Clubman specification, fitted with an Amal GP carburettor
The 500 cc DBD34 was introduced in 1956, with clip-on handlebars, the same big finned alloy engine with a newly designed head,38 mm ( 1 1/2" ) bell-mouth Amal carburettor and swept-back exhaust. The DBD34 had a 110 mph (180 km/h) top speed. The Gold Star dominated the Isle of Man Clubmans TT that year. Later models had an ultra close-ratio gearbox (RRT2) with a very high first gear, enabling 60 mph (97 km/h) before changing up to a second. Amongst the options available were a tachometer and a 190mm full-width front brake that gave a larger lining area than the standard 8" single-sided unit

Was just in for its first big tune up since I got it in 2007. Now it is fast again! Since I'm putting over 100km a month on it just for commuting to work, fast is good. Nevermind the 46km rides that hopefully will be common this summer.

The Triumph Daytona and Daytona Super 3 (model codes T331, T332, T343, T344, T354 and T357) is a three or four-cylinder British sports motorcycle. These bikes were produced at Triumph, Hinkley. The Daytona range uses a modular liquid-cooled double overhead camshaft (DOHC) engine design in a steel frame with a large-diameter backbone design. The modular design ensured that a variety of models could be offered whilst keeping production costs under control. The high-tensile steel tubular frame has a large diameter spine based on that of the Triumph Bonneville T140, though engine oil is not held in the frame.
In 1993 the 750 engine option was dropped in favour of an 885 cc triple engine that was already in use with the Trident and Trophy range.
This Daytona Super 3, was a lightened 900 cc machine that used a higher power engine jointly developed by Triumph and Cosworth, available as a Limited Edition of 805 machines and built during 1994-95. When it was released the Super 111 became an overnight classic with a host of changes from the standard model, the major one being a significantly more powerful engine. The power improvements were due to a collaboration with the tuning gurus at Cosworth and was accomplished by using higher compression pistons and a redesigned cylinder head. The end result was a power increase from 97 bhp to 115 bhp. Overall the Super III was a more responsive and higher performance ride, and also had many parts switched to carbon fibre and improved brakes.
