An ohc engine powers the bikes with a balance shaft to smooth out vibration, a five-speed gearbox and the cylinder canted forwards.

It has an electric start, stainless steel exhaust, combined disc brakes to
Euro 4 specifications, electronic fuel injection, and in the case of the Tempest Roadster, a
seat with a removable cowl. A neat luggage rack which will readily accept many proprietary boxes is available as a low-cost accessory.

The Scrambler version of the Tempest comes in orange, blue or yellow with knobbly tyres, headlight guard, fly screen, fork gaiters and racing number side panels.
