The 1932 VH 500 Red Hunter has, at its heart, an air-cooled, four-stroke, 497cc, single cylinder powerplant mated to a four-speed manual transmission, and can reach a maximum power output of 24 HP (17.9 Kw) at 6000 rpm. The key features for this machine would be the laced wheels, a parallelogram front fork, a hardtail rear suspension, a sprung seat, an analogue, tank-mounted instrumentation panel, a large headlight, a dual, mid-mounted, exhaust system, a blacked-out frame, and a drum braking system.
