British Bikes / British motorcycle history
« on: February 23, 2017, 04:06:11 PM »
Hello !
I’m a French journalist student at the European Journalism Institute in Marseille. I am writing an article on the British motorcycle industry history. I need some information and different points of view. Are you able to give me some time and to answer the following questions ?
What allowed the British motorcycle industry to be the most important and most famous industry in the world before the 1950s - 1960s? Which were the factors?
How do you explain the death of their motorcycle industry? Was that due to Japanese invasion, management failure by manufacturer, economic background or other reasons?
During which years British motorcycles began to be replaced by Japanese ones?
Why people began to replace their British motorcycles for Japanese ones?
What are your views about this story?
I identified 3 different periods for the British motorcycle industry. The first one, from the 1900s - 1910s to 1950, was a flourishing period. The second one, from the 1960s - 197s0 to 2000, was a period of decline, and the third one: the resurgence since 2000. Do you think these periods are spot on or no?
Thanks a lot for your help.
