I can't find anywhere I said this. I did say that initially Honda bikes were made from thinner gauge steel at first (true) and that there was a popular belief that the much higher revving engines would not last very long. There was a display of snobbery from owners of British bikes towards owners of Japanese bikes.Originally Posted by M4tt
However, my analogy about bikes was simply to highlight some parallels between watch movements and bikes, not to start a detailed discussion about the history of the British motorcycle industry. :wink:
