The Ariel Red Hunter was the name used for a range of Ariel single-cylinder and twin-cylinder motorcycles. They were designed by the firm's chief designer Val Page in 1932 around an overhead-valve single-cylinder engine he developed six years earlier. Originally a "sports" version of the Ariel 500, 250 and 350cc, versions were developed and became popular with grass track and trials riders. From 1948, the 500cc twin-cylinder Ariels were produced in De Luxe (KG) and Red Hunter (KH) models. The Red Hunter was a success and formed the backbone of the company, and made Ariel able to purchase Triumph.
The previous owner of this Ariel Red Hunter restored it a few years ago and has used it ever since. For improved comfort, a plunger conversion has been fitted sometime in its life. We have been advised by the vendor that the machine was last run at the end of last year. A real rider machine, it is offered with a current V5C.
