A boy racer is a motorist who drives an automobile that has been modified with aftermarketbody kits, audio system and exhaust system, usually in an unlawful manner. It can also mean a compact sporty coupe that is heavily modified for racing. Wealthier motorists who drive sports cars, or those with costly modifications, often seek to distance themselves from the culture. Responses to the boy racer phenomenon range from laws prohibiting cosmetic modifications to vehicles such as decorative lighting and window tint, restrictions on recreational driving ("cruising"), to vandalism such as spraying expanding foam into cars with loud "big-bore" exhaust tips to stop such cars driving around emitting loud droning noises.
Boy racers are typically known for speeding away from traffic lights, playing loud music, and revving their engines rather than actual street racing. A typical boy racer is seen as a young man who sits very low in his seat and wears a beanie, baseball cap and/or hoodie.
The AJS 7R was a British 350cc racing motorcycle built from 1948 to 1963 by Associated Motor Cycles.
It was also commonly known as the ‘Boy Racer’, and won victories both for the factory and for privateers right from its introduction in 1948.
The AJS 7R
A new design by Phil Walker, the chain-driven overhead camshaft 7R had the history of the pre-war AJS ‘cammy’ singles behind it. Initially, the 7R was not quite as powerful as its competitors, producing 32bhp (24kW) at 7500rpm. The duplex frame and Teledraulic front forks remained relatively unchanged during production, while the engine had a number of changes. The included valve angle was progressively narrowed, and the crankshaft strengthened. In 1956 the engine dimensions changed from the original long-stroke 74 x 81mm to the ‘squarer’ 75.5 x 78mm. The AMC gearbox replaced the older Burman unit in 1958.
AJS 7R3
In 1951 AJS development engineer Ike Hatch developed a 75.5mm bore x 78mm stroke, three valve head version of the 7R making 36bhp (27kW). It was called the AJS 7R3, and was Ike's response to the Italian multi-cylinder racers. They did well enough in their first year, not as well the second. For 1954 Jack Williams, the works team manager, developed the bike further, lowering the engine in the frame, and making some tuning changes that gave 40bhp (30kW) @ 7800rpm. It immediately won the first two rounds of the World Championship and took first at the Isle of Man TT. These were factory specials, but one has survived, and a second has been reconstructed from spares.
