10 British Motorcycles That Were EVERYWHERE in the 1970s — #1 Is Almost GONE | Vintage Road Machines

#BritishMotorcycles #VintageMotorcycles #ClassicBikes The 1970s were a golden age for British motorcycles — and these machines seemed to be everywhere. From busy British streets and factory gates to weekend rides and country roads, bikes from Triumph, Norton, BSA, and Royal Enfield were a familiar part of everyday life. In this episode of Vintage Road Machines, we count down 10 British motorcycles that were everywhere in the 1970s — the machines that became symbols of British roads, commuting, performance, and everyday motorcycling. From the practical BSA Bantam and Triumph Tiger Cub to legendary machines like the Norton Commando and Triumph Bonneville, these motorcycles helped define an era when Britain was still one of the world's great motorcycle-producing nations. But there's a twist. Some of these once-common motorcycles are now surprisingly difficult to find. And Number 1 has almost vanished from the roads compared with how common it once was. Why did so many everyday British motorcycles disappear? What happened to the machines that once filled Britain's streets? And which motorcycle became one of the rarest survivors of an era that once seemed impossible to forget? Watch until the end to discover #1.
