Development
A production roadster motorcycle, the KSS was modified with a racing clutch and tuned to achieve 90mph around the Isle of Man TT course, largely due to the excellent handling. Important improvements included the positive-stop foot operated gear change from the Velocette KTT production racing version.
In 1939 Velocette developed the KSS Mk II which had a Velocette MKV KTT based chassis and a new engine with an alloy cylinder head. A touring version, the Velocette KTS was also developed with 19 inch wheels and matching mudguards.

Demonstrations of affection were therefore limited. “If you must, kiss them once on the forehead when they say goodnight. Shake hands with them in the morning.””
