the driving force behind the 7r was jock west, then the amc sales director who championed the concept of an over the counter 350cc racing machine at boardroom level and would later support the development of the matchless g50 derived from the 7r. like its major rival from bracebridge street, the 7r benefited from the experience gained with each passing season with refinements being incorporated into the following year's model. the models 29bhp rose steadily over its production life with the final models producing in the region of 39bhp. of equal importance in aiding the 7r maintain its position at the front of the field was the attention paid to reducing the frontal area and consequently improving the machines overall performance. a side effect of the sliming down of the fuel and oil tanks and the reduction in the overall height of 7r was that it ended up as being one of the most attractive motorcycles ever produced. image provided by www.classic-auctions.com.
