This cool three-part series, by YouTube’s TheMissendenFlyer, takes you through the history and evolution of the British Motorcycle manufacturing industry, with a walk-around the London Motorcycle Museum.
There’s an excellent insight into what influenced the innovation, design and engineering of the motorbikes, from the first Excelsior in 1896, Zenith Motors in 1910, the Wooler and Brough Superior motorcycles in the 1920s and on to the 1950s BSAs and Triumphs. Also, revelations (for some), as to the engineering origins of the most famous British marques.
