| By 1978, however, the Bonneville was something
of an anachronism in the world of motor cycling.
It had an old-fashioned twin-cylinder, pushrod
engine in a world dominated by multi-cylinder
machines from Japan. Astonishingly, the Bonneville
was still the best selling 750 in Britain during
1978 in spite of the fact that this was one of
the most competitiveclasses on the market. Much
of this success was due to the absolute simplicity
of the Bonneville. Weighing about 395lb it was
about a hundredweight lighter than most of its
Japanese rivals and with a crankcase measuring
about 14 inches across it was a good eight inches
narrower than the bulkier Japanese fours.
This light weight and slim build also meant
that the bike's manoeuvrability and handling
were far superior to most of its rivals, a fact
that went down well with British riders confined
to roads narrower, shorter and more crowded
than those of their colonial cousins. |
