interesting, that way back when, the Japanese were buying up lots of old British motorcycles, and reverse engineered them...Looked at the basic theory, and the actual constrution. The theory behind Brit design was pretty sound, the realization however much less so..The Japanese simply improved on some of the basic concepts, and voila, the jap bike invasion of the 70s began ...
would you agree-disagree that.... historically the Brits had wonderful and innovative theories, concepts and designs, but historically were also hampered by a failure to further develop and build upon those concepts and were bypassed by others?
and more so in civilian areas,..hampered by poor quality control and labour strife?
