Did they have motorcycles in 1960?

I thought they were first invented in the mid 70s!! :shock:

Not so much of the old. I also started work in 1971 and my first bike was a brown Honda C90. Loved that little bike. My Dad bought it from me when I bought a Suzuki 250 Hustler. One of the first with a six speed gearbox.

I am guessing lots of late 60 and early 70 Triumphs are going to be posted ....except for Skub and Moth obviously ;)

Heres my choice

There aren't many 1946 bikes on e-bay. :cry:

And I wouldn't want to ride most of them anyway. :)

I thought most of these bikes should have numberplate on the front mudguard. My 1973 Suzuki 250gt had one on.

I can't post pictures from eBay on my phone, never figured out how.
