Description
The 1970s was a pivotal decade for motorcycling in Britain, marked by a significant shift in the industry. As the era began, iconic British brands like Triumph and Norton were still prominent, but they soon faced stiff competition from Japanese manufacturers. Honda's CB750 and Kawasaki's Z1 quickly gained popularity, and by the end of the decade, a range of Japanese models, including Suzuki's GT750 and Yamaha's XS750, had become household names. In the world of motorcycle racing, the 1970s saw the emergence of new stars, including Barry Sheene, who overcame the established order to become a champion. This book celebrates the people, bikes, and events that defined a fascinating era in British motorcycling history. With its rich collection of stories, images, and anecdotes, this book is a must-have for anyone interested in the history of motorcycling in Britain during the 1970s.
