The Velocette Valiant was a British motorcycle produced by Velocette from 1957 to 1963. Launched at the 1956 Earl's Court Motorcycle Show, the Valiant had a 192cc flat-twin engine but was expensive and criticized for its underpowered engine. In the mid-1950s Velocette had two very different lines of motorcycles. Alongside the larger and more conventional M series, they produced a series of enclosed small capacity four-stroke flat twins for the commuter market, when most of their competitors were producing two-stroke singles.

Launched at the Earls Court Show in November 1956 the Velocette Valiant was a development of the Velocette LE. It had a two piece cover that enclosed most of the crankcase and gearbox.

This Velocette Valiant has been with the current vendor for 10 years. Restored around 10 years ago, the restoration is still holding up well. An ideal little lightweight machine that has been enjoyed, however, it will require light recommissioning before use. The Valiant is offered with a current V5C.
