The years 1970–79 were rich, exciting and, for today’s fifty and sixty-somethings, a formative period of motorcycling in Britain. It was an era that saw the passing of the baton from British to Japanese manufacturers: Norton, BSA and Triumph were overtaken by Honda, Kawasaki, Yamaha and Suzuki. Before long, multi-cylinder ‘superbikes’, such as the GT750, the XS750 and the GS1000, became the bikes idolised on many bedroom walls. In bike sport, Barry Sheene surpassed the old guard of Mike Hailwood and Phil Read, while heroes such as Evel Knievel secured motorcycling’s place in popular culture. Celebrating fifty of the decade’s best bikes, journalist Phil West remembers all of this and more in this fascinating book.

Some of the bikes you could afford and some only to dream of owning. A well put together book with just enough info to make a good read. I remember all the bikes and the descriptions accurately reflect what we all thought back then. Really good effort. ## Frequently Bought Together - Motorcycles We Loved in the 1970s - Motorcycles We Loved in the 1980s - Motorcycles We Loved in the 1990s --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.lk/products/372820256-motorcycles-we-loved-in-the-1970s](https://www.desertcart.lk/products/372820256-motorcycles-we-loved-in-the-1970s) --- *Product available on Desertcart Sri Lanka* *Store origin: LK* *Last updated: 2026-08-12*
