1955

MCN launches with the front cover headline news of ‘GEOFF DUKE SUSPENDED’ from all racing for having the audacity to stand with fellow riders over the issue of start money at the Dutch TT. Duke competed in 60 Grand Prix between 1950 and 1959, winning over half of the races he contested on his way to six world titles.

1956

On September 6, a 27-year-old American by the name of Johnny Allen piloted a streamliner dubbed the Texas Cee-gar down the Bonneville Salt Flats at a nerve-wrenching 214.40mph. A new world record was his for the bragging and in 1959, this association with the Salt Flats brought a new Triumph called Bonneville. A biking legend was born.

1957

The man recognised by history as the first holder of a 100mph lap of the Mountain Course is Bob McIntyre. The Glasgow-born racer started as many did in that era, racing his daily transport – and in 1957 he rode the Gilera to a momentous win and two laps at over 100mph (101.03 and 101.12mph).

1959

Back in 1954, Soichiro Honda realised what racing success at the Isle of Man TT could do for his company. And on May 7, 1959 the Honda team arrived at the TT. They entered five riders in the Ultra-Lightweight 125cc race and on June 3, Kunimitsu Taniguchi crossed the line 7min22sec after the winning MV Agusta, taking the one world championship point.

1959

It’s now sixty-one years since the most famous British motorcycle model of all time first went on sale: Triumph’s Bonneville. Born out of the Tiger 110, it sported twin carbs and was built at the behest of the aggressive US market – and named in honour of Johnny Allen’s 1956 land speed record. It was the fastest Triumph the Meriden factory had ever built.

1960

Surtees signed to ride for MV in 1956 and won his first world title in the 500cc class. And when Gilera and Guzzi withdrew from GP racing after the 1957 season, he went on to dominate the 500cc and 350cc classes in 1958, ’59 and ’60, winning an astonishing 32 out of 39 races. He also became the first man to win the Senior TT for three consecutive years.

1961

Suzuki and the other Japanese factories only built winning two-strokes after Suzuki paid star MZ rider Ernst Degner a king’s ransom to defect with Walter Kaaden’s secrets. During the summer of 1961 Degner had secret meetings with Suzuki, and a plan was hatched. Degner would help Suzuki build competitive two-strokes and then he would ride them.

1967

The Commando is widely considered one of the greatest parallel twins ever. The 750 made 58bhp and was powerful enough to propel the bike to a top speed of 117mph. Better still, Norton’s Isolastic system used rubber mounts to prevent much of the engine’s vibration being translated to the rider’s hands and feet – delivering a superbly smooth ride.

1969

Peter Fonda, Dennis Hopper and Jack Nicolson changed the face of biking forever in the 1969 counter-culture classic. The image of Fonda riding ‘Captain America’ (the custom chopper that was the unintentional hero of the film) is one of the most iconic in motorcycling. A tale of two drug dealers, who ride around  the American south west selling dope, lighting campfires and getting stoned.

1969

Before the CB750 the idea of a Japanese inline-four was just that: an idea. By the mid 1960s Honda were serial world champions and the most modern, advanced bike factory on Earth. Their target was the British market and in 1969 they launched the CB750 for £745 and with an initial production target of 1500 a year, which doubled. Over the next eight years they made over half a million machines.

1972

We might be very used to seeing Ducati at the sharp end of world-class motorcycle racing but it wasn’t always the case. If you trace their success back to the source, you need to start with a Brit called Paul Smart. He rode the innovative 90° L-twin Desmo at the 1972 Imola 200, to a victory, destroying Giacomo Agostini’s lap record along the way.

1973

For an entire generation of bikers Yamaha FS1-E (Fizzy) was the key to freedom. It was the first bike of your dreams if you were growing up in the 1970’s. The term ‘Fizzy’ has become a generic term for Yamaha’s sports moped, which was so popular with the rebellious youth of the 1970s. But to be accurate the term came from one specific model, the FS1-E, where ‘E’ meant ‘England’.

1973

In September of 1973 Dennis Poore boss of Norton Villiers Triumph, announced a major restructure and that the Meriden works would shut. The 4500 employees weren’t keen and those who remained after the initial cull rose up to form a worker’s cooperative. And so started a two-year sit-in. By late 1973, all models except the T120 had been discontinued and debts continued to spiral.

1973

On June 1, 1973 it became compulsory in the UK to wear a helmet if you wanted to ride, or be taken as pillion, on a motorcycle. The law had been hastily assembled and passed on February 7 of the same year, and met with significant opposition from riders, and some politicians, claiming that it was an affront to free choice and civil liberty.

When Evel Knievel wiped out at Wembley in 1975 there was a real fear that he might well die in the stadium. The whole place held its breath. Then Knievel, braving the pain of a broken pelvis, stood up to speak to the 80,000 strong crowd and reveal he would never jump again. Of course, he did – just six months later, in fact – but no-one was to know at the time.

Trying to pick a specific year within Ago’s career to highlight as ‘the one’ is like trying to decide which doughnut to eat first. But if we were to hang our helmet on a particular, it’s 1975. Already a multiple world champion in 1968, and with the Japanese out and MV surging to the height of powers, while Hailwood took early retirement, Ago delivered the biggest period of domination the championship has ever seen.

Barry Sheene’s Daytona crash in March, 1975 was the fastest on record – at 175mph and it was remarkable that he survived.  The tally of injuries included a broken left thigh and right arm, compression fractures to several vertebrae, broken ribs and extensive road rash on his back. He said later: “If I’d been a race-horse, I’d have been shot.”

While technically considered as the 1979 Paris-Dakar, the race started on December 26, 1978. Two years of planning by Theirry Sabine, after he got lost in the deserts of Libya on the Abidjan-Nice rally in 1977, he decided not to turn his back on danger but ride towards it. The idea was formed and on Boxing Day, 1978, the first Paris-Dakar riders left the Place du Trocadero in Paris on a 10,000km quest to reach Dakar.

As comebacks go, this was one of the best of all time. Despite an absence of 11 years, Hailwood returned to the TT on a Ducati 900 supported by a Manchester bike shop and surpassed himself – stunning the crowd, and his rivals, with a race record of 108.51mph and a lap record of 110.62mph. He started 50 seconds behind favourite Phil Read and pursued him relentlessly, leading on the road at the halfway point, it was the most exciting comeback ever seen.

1979

Between 1962 and 1967, Honda racked up 15 championships. But one title, the premier 500cc class, still eluded them. At the same time, the European factories who had the ear of the rule makers weren’t happy with their sudden relegation. In came new rules, designed to save costs by massively reducing race machine complexity, overnight the exotic Japanese machines disappeared. It took till 1979 before Honda returned with the NR500 at the British Grand Prix.

Silverstone witnessed one of the most talked about GP battles of all time in 1979 between British superstar Barry Sheene and American upstart Kenny Roberts. Sheen hadn’t finished in four of the first six races and had lost the 1978 title to Roberts. The race-long battle intensified on the penultimate lap and Sheened was determined that nothing other than a win would suffice.

Arguably the most loved and inspirational Japanese bike of all, Yamaha’s RD350LC was a complete stroker of genius. In 1978 Yamaha’s RD250/400 was due for replacement and ever-tightening emissions regulations spelled the end for performance two-strokes in the USA. Yamaha decided that the successors to the air-cooled RDs would be aimed at Europe, designed with assistance from Yamaha Europe and be as sporty and innovative as possible.

Even BMW aren’t 100% certain how the G/S came about but it is generally accepted that test engineer Laszlo Peres is the father, while Hans Muth would claim the idea started with him, and the desire to build a Gentleman’s Scrambler (GS). A keen off-road rider, Peres built himself an 800cc boxer-engined bike to compete with in German enduro events as early as the 1960s, but it was in the late 1970s his baby came to fruition.

In 1985 you only entered the motocross world championship if you were as hard as nails – and few were harder than British HRC factory rider Dave Thorpe. Riding the evil CR500 two-stroke, Dave took the first of his three FIM World Motocross Championship titles in 1985, rewarding HRC’s faith in him and taming the CR. “The art of riding the CR was to use its torque,” Dave remembers. “If you started to go up and down the gearbox and use its power it would bite you – hard.”

BMW took an ABS system from their car department and modified it fitted it to the K100LT, making it the first production bike to feature ABS. The system weighed 11kg and consisted of two modulators that were fitted on either side of the bike. Never the most effective system and by 1993 BMW had refined it. Their second-generation system, called ABS II, combined all the components in a single package which was located under the bike’s tank.

In 1983, industrialist John Bloor bought the rights to the Triumph name following the collapse of the British industry. Many assumed Bloor would mothball the brand, but behind the scenes something exciting was happening. In the late 1980s, Bloor assembled a small design team, who began work on a new range of modern Triumphs and by 1990 the first bikes were ready to launch.

While the 1985 Suzuki GSX-R750 created the sportsbike blueprint, it was the 1992 CBR900RR-N FireBlade that heralded the modern litre sportsbike. In an era of 750s, Honda’s decision to build an 893cc (they did test a 750cc version) machine was revolutionary – as was their use of technology. Under the guidance of project leader Tadao Baba, the Blade was built using the very latest computer tech.
