Joe Byrd’s interview starts at 29:15 and if you are seeing a blue 750 on the video before you click play, that’s Mr. Byrd’s bike.

So are British motorcycles as unreliable as British sports cars.

A friend had an early gold wing (1000cc?), was on it up to 80+ on a quiet bit of interstate, him driving.

I rode a Kawasaki Mach 3 (3 cylinder 500) once. A friend's brother had one. We went for a ride, friend, Ray, up front and me on the back. Ray's bigger than me. Exciting machine. Then we swapped places and I drove and Ray was on the back. At the time, (college) I had broken a finger on my right hand and it was in a splint. So, I couldn't grab the throttle tightly. We started out riding and when you hit 4,000 RPM the machine LEAPED forward. Ray's arms were around my waist. My right hand couldn't grab the throttle tightly. We came ever so close to going off the back of the bike at 45 mph. No helmets.

So are British motorcycles as unreliable as British sports cars. They used to have more problems than Japanese and German bikes. Gearbox problems and oil leaks used to plague BSA and Triumphs. I think that current Triumphs have a very good reliability reputation. |
