  • 1951 Sarolea 600cc single cylinder, made in Belgium. Original restoration. Sarolea manufactured this bike with many Brittish parts, for example lucas generator, magnito, AMAL horizontal carburetor, head light , smith amp meter, etc.. This bike has a compression release so the driver can position the piston for starting other wise people would go flying in the air if it didn't, it's a real thumper( a German friend calls it a steam hammer), the release is also used for killing the motor.

    When I was 17 (1966) I had a sarolea 600cc, a splendor of motorcycle!

    Seems like the History channel has really helped shed some light on these old bikes. I saw one in a private collection when I went to Germany back in 1995.

    That's how a single should sound, like a 25-pounder gun! Beautiful restoration. Happy riding, and keep the videos coming please!

    Never heard of the brand before. Thank you for the video. Incidentally, thumpers just don't have to be that hard to start; it seems we've forgotten how to kickstart anything.

    Your kick starting reminds my past with Enfield 350.

    We used to run them things no muffler and as fast as they would go. Hill climbing was good on a big single.

    Is it a 2-stroke or 4-stroke engine?

    What is that the small thing that goes up and down on gearbox?

      It could be a Neutral Finder. Some Enfields had this.

      Its on the Crankcase, and it looks like a mechanical Oil Pressure Indicator. Not such a bad idea at all.

    I can't see how you can compare a suzuki dr 800 to this Sarolea, you are talking apples and oranges. This Sarolea is a object of art your suzuki is only something that moves on two wheels, you cant even see the motor it is covered by fairings, no art there!

    what's the fun in a bike being a piece of art there machines designed to be rode hard and commute in all weathers that's a motorcycle this may as well be a sculpture and if you want art visit a Ducati dealership or find a Honda nr750
