It’s Two Wheel Tuesday and ’50s Week here on Hooniverse Asks, and that of course means that today we want your take on what was the best motorcycle that the 1950s had to offer.
In the 1950s the Japanese had yet to make their presence known as a major exporter of two-wheeled transport, while at the same time, Great Britain’s position as one had yet to fade. Italy, Germany, and the USA were also centers of sizable bike production with many nameplates that have gone down in the annals of history, as well as many others that have been mostly forgotten.
That all made the ’50s a golden age of motorcycle production and a number of iconic and memorable bikes arose during that decade. Today we want your opinion as to which of those now rises to the top of the heap, and could realistically be crowned as the era’s greatest-ever street bike.
