| japs v brits
there seems to be hundreds of pairs of rose tinted glasses out there.
fact if i had relied on my triumph to get to work 25 years ago i would of been sacked thank god i had a jap to fall back on.
how can you say that you could spend £1500 on a 750 jap bike that with regular oil changes would last 50000 miles plus and the same roughly for the triumph and have to replace or upgrade the wiring loom lights brakes switches etc.
what utter tosh the reason brit bikes died out is down to reliabilty same nearly happened to ducati if you recall.
bikes may be a leisure item now 20+ years ago they where transport first.
I love my duc becuase i can ride it ,you cant ride character unless its running. |
