New Category for British Motorcycles

edit

As part of the Motorcycling WikiProject I am working though all the missing articles and stubs for British Bikes. To make things easier to sort out I have created a category for British motorcycles. Please will you add to any British motorcycle pages you find or create. It will also help to keep things organised if you use the Template:Infobox Motorcycle or add it where it is missing. I've linked the Category to the Commons British Motorcycles so you could help with matching pics to articles or adding the missing images to the Commons - take your camera next time you go to a rally!

Thanks to Mike at the Sunbeam Owners Fellowship who has kindly reviewed this article and corrected a few facts - as well as contributed some great photos of Sunbeams still very much being used as intended Tony (talk) 19:47, 5 July 2008 (UTC)Reply

"Based on the BMW R75"

How true is this?

They're shaft drives, that's about it. The engine layout is completely different, and loses the balance advantages of the boxer BMW. The final drive is totally different. The fork is telescopic long before BMW were. So how much could really be said to be "BMW" in origin? Andy Dingley (talk) 21:29, 26 July 2015 (UTC)Reply
