The Fastest and the Most Advanced Motorbikes
From the 1960s onwards, Japanese motorcycles dominated the world’s markets. The performance of the Japanese motorcycles was directly related to their involvement in international motorcycle road racing, first in the I.O.M. TT, then later in the world championship Grand Prix racing (MotoGP). Much like their street bikes, the early Japanese racers were no match for their European competitors at first, but within a few years they were beating them.
Over the years, Japanese motorcycles became the world leaders offering innovative design and major forces in the racing world.
