THE BICYCLE PART OF THE MOTORCYCLE CONTINUOUSLY IMPROVED

RIJWIELGEDEELTE MOTORFIETS STEEDS VERDER GEPERFECTIONEERD

Since the beginning of the 1980's the motorcycle trend has changed. Emphasis is no longer placed on high power and large cylinder volume. The new criteria are sophisticated technique and individuality. Technology plays an important role. Futuristic styling, advanced electronics, mono-suspension, anti-damping systems on the front frame, improved braking systems and smaller wheels are discussed. (TRRL)
