T

he present era of high-power multi-cylinder superbikes began with Honda’s four-cylinder CB750 of 1969. It was a natural in the marketplace because the company had invested nine years in international Grand Prix road racing to make Honda a household name worldwide. When an electricstart motorcycle with four cylinders and four boldly jutting exhaust pipes hit the market, its success was foreordained. Four-cylinder machines had been successful in road racing before – the Italian fours of Gilera and MV – and there had also been four-cylinder production bikes, such as the Belgian FN and American Indian Four. But nothing like the complexity and power of this new Honda had ever been offered for public sale. CB750 power was the result of the same principle that had made Honda fours so successful in racing – high RPM

24

made possible by cylinder multiplication. England’s racing singles reached high sophistication, but their long strokes limited their RPM. By using greater numbers of smaller cylinders, each with a short stroke, Honda in racing had pushed beyond 21,000 rpm by 1967. That meant that CB750’s 67 claimed HP at 8000 RPM was achieved without strain, even though this RPM level was out of reach of the most powerful of British parallel-twins. The world motorcycle community was stunned that it was possible to offer this level of sophistication – four cylinders, single overhead cam, a disc brake, and electric start – at a price ($1,495) that guaranteed large sales. More than 400,000 would be built over 10 years.


The muscular CB750 with its four exhaust pipes and 67 horsepower was a sensation on its release in 1969.

By the end of World War II, Japan’s industries were destroyed. Starting over, they began not with the 1930s technologies that in the 1950s produced most of the world’s motorcycles, but with the latest in automated equipment. Japanese products were thoroughly engineered for rational rapid assembly, and the CB750 in particular also benefited from automotive techniques. Instead of crankshafts assembled from many pieces, then made straight by skilled handwork, the CB750 had a one-piece steel crank, spinning in durable, long-lived plain bearings. To speed its build on the assembly line, the CB750’s crankcase was horizontally split, allowing crank, gearbox shafts and other internal parts to be set sequentially into its upper case, then enclosed by the lower case half. Honda engine assembly did not depend upon fussy, time-consuming heat shrink fits. Honda’s market research in the US revealed that American buyers were most comfortable with tubular steel chassis rather than the pressed steel of many early Japanese models. It was also known that American riders wanted a comfortably muscular look backed by plenty of power. The information was good, so the bold step up from the hunched-over styling of the moderately powerful CB450 of 1966 to the instant dominance of the CB750 in 1969 was a success. Honda had followed the market method of General Motors’ Alfred P. Sloan, who created an “economic ladder of models”, beginning with the plain-Jane Chevrolet and extending upward to the luxurious Cadillac. Chevy owners stretched their credit to reach upward to the Oldsmobile. The first

Hondas – bikes like the 50cc Super Cub and the electric-start pioneer Benly 125cc twin – led to a proliferation of models, always tempting riders to move up. Ever since company founder Soichiro Honda had effectively used research to make his first product – piston rings – successful, he invested in equipment for R&D and product testing. In common with other Japanese firms, Honda had embraced the techniques of statistical process control, summed up in the words of famed manufacturing consultant Dr. W. Edwards Deming that “an increase in quality is an increase in production.” Use of a standard 2000-hour vehicle life test made Honda motorcycles known for their reliability. In 1970 Dick Mann won the Daytona 200 Miler on a CB750 Honda factory-modified for racing. The CB750 was the first motorcycle to be described as a “Superbike”, and competing brands soon entered the market – Kawasaki’s four-cylinder 903cc Z1 in 1973, and Suzuki’s GS series 750 and 1000cc fours three years after that. All this made the 1970s a feast for motorcyclists. Even with its remarkable 123.24-MPH top speed recorded by Cycle World in its 1969 road test, the CB750 today seems simplified and unsophisticated, being air-cooled with only a single overhead cam, two rather than four valves per cylinder, separate pipes and a conventional drum rear brake. It was a bold experiment that had to succeed at the first try, and further complexity could be added in step with market demand. Succeed it did, opening the doors to a new kind of motorcycling that continues its refinement to the present day.

OFF ROAD Wonders Through the 90’s TEXT: MARK HOYER PHOTO CREDIT: COURTESY OF CYCLE WORLD ARCHIVES

I

t’s important to remember: Dirt was here first. So when we consider the long history of motorcycling, off-road riding was the predominantly practiced form, simply because there weren’t many paved roads. And even though we’ve been laying asphalt ever since the first rubber hit the road, the human desire to explore and conquer on two wheels remains primal, which has led to some extraordinary motorcycles. To honor the 2019 Quail Motorcycle Gathering’s featured class Off-Road Wonders Through the 90’s, we present a collection of milestone machines that have shaped what’s possible in the dirt.

Triumph Desert Sled We’re not sure points, magnetos, shims, tickling carburetors and dubious charging systems are the “simpler times” we often reminisce about, but there is no doubt that post-war motorcycles were meant to do it all. So in that sense they were simpler times: Buy a motorcycle, use it however you like. The most prolific of the do-it-all-ers? Triumphs. Road race, dirt track, TT, scramblers, and point-to-point desert races saw huge numbers of Triumphs. Sure, there were Trophy models that were “dirt” bikes, but you could take almost any Triumph Twin made in the 1950s and ’60s and use it however you wished. It mostly involved removing parts and perhaps adding a skidplate, made from a modified shovel, of course. Pictured is Roger White’s 1958 Big Bear Run winner alongside a very original 1958 Triumph TR6 Trophy. (Photo by Jeff Allen/Cycle World)

Husqvarna 250 When somebody says “Husqvarna” and “motorcross” it’s hard not to envision the Husky 400 Cross that Bengt Aberg used to win the 1969 and 1970 500cc World Motocross Championship titles, which Steve McQueen rode in On Any Sunday, and which Malcolm Smith rode in the Baja 1000. But, particularly in America, they all owed it to Old Number One, the 1967 250cc Husqvarna, serial number 670001, that “father of American motocross” Edison Dye brought to the States with motocross star Torsten Hallman to introduce us to this distinctly European pastime. Hallman won all 60 races he entered and changed how we raced in the dirt forever. (Photo by Kirk Willis/Cycle World)

Honda CR125M Elsinore Of course, the Honda 1973 CR250M Elsinore came first, and introduced us to Honda’s lightweight, powerful two-stroke motocrosser with an alloy fuel tank, clean lines, plastic fenders and that cute little mudflap. But it was the 1974 CR125M Elsinore that came the next year that truly dropped the moto bomb on America with its $880 price tag and dominant performance. They sold like crazy and got an entire generation into motorcycling, which helped fuel the motorcycle boom of the 1970s and beyond. In the photo, Supercross legend Jeremy McGrath tested a 1974 CR125 for a 1993 Cycle World story. Honda XR600 The quintessential off-road bike of the 1980s? Hard to argue with the Honda XR600. The desert was crawling with them on any given Sunday, but it was also an incredible race bike with choice modifications. It followed on the success of the XR500, and in 1986, the first year the XR600 raced the Baja 1000, Bruce Ogilvie and Chuck Miller won by 45 minutes. Meanwhile, in the woods, AMA Hall-of-Famer Scott Summers was winning out there a total of nine AMA off-road championships in Grand National Cross Country and Hare Scrambles series. Following its release and well into the late 1990s the Honda XR600 was a dominant force in the off-road world. The XR628 pictured is a Cycle World project bike raced in the Baja 1000 to second place. (Photo by Kirk Willis/Cycle World) BMW R 80 G/S Cycle World’s 1981 test of the G/S took the bike to Baja. In 1981, Hubert Auriol scored the first of four wins for the G/S in the Paris-Dakar rally. And, yes, those rally wins were legendary, but who among us didn’t lust after the R80 and R100G/S Paris-Dakar replicas? Imagine a world today if adventure motorcycles didn’t exist? It all goes back to “I’m not sure what this bike is supposed to do,” said Ron Gweiwe, Cycle World’s test editor in the original road test. A category-inventing machine is fairly uncommon, and one that does invent a category that has essentially conquered the world is truly an off-road wonder. (Photo from the BMW archive)

Maico 490 Mega 2 It was remarkable that a family-owned motorcycle manufacturing business located at the edge of Germany’s Black Forest built motocrossers that could compete with the world’s best, but that’s what Maico was able to do. Handling was exceptional, even on the big open-classer 490 Mega 2 for 1981, but it was the legendary engine performance of this monster that helped make its impression on the market. Well, that and it’s $2,699 price, hundreds more than its Japanese competition. The 490 was fast, powerful, and had great handling, while coming from a tiny factory that didn’t even have its own test track. It was also the last of Maico’s truly successful bikes as the company faltered and filed for bankruptcy in 1983. (Photos by Jim Gianatsis/ Cycle World)

Suzuki RM250Z Full-Floater In the original Cycle World test on the 1982 RM250Z, we said this: “Faster than its race-prepped rivals, able to beat a works bike to the first turn...and we didn’t even change the grips.” So, while it’s true the FullFloater monoshock suspension of 1981 made the RM125 and RM250 the dominant bikes of ’81, the following year’s machine combined this amazing suspension and chassis performance with liquid-cooling, and made the bike 15-17 pounds lighter than most of its competition. The RM250Z elevated that state of the modern 250cc motocrosser. (Photo by Ron Hussey/Cycle World)

Yamaha YZ400F In 1998, Yamaha shocked the moto world with the YZ400F four-stroke. It was, in a sense, simply coming full-circle back to the off-road four-strokes of an earlier era, but it ushered in a new era of motocross machine and laid the foundation for the benefits we enjoy today of ultra-lightweight, high-power four-strokes. From the full test: “Formula for four-stroke firepower: Build a high-performance, lightweight motor and put it in your 250cc motocross chassis. Yamaha has pulled it off -- who’s next?” The answer was everybody, and the modern fourstroke motocrosser was born. Last line of the full test? “We used to be scared of a four-stroke motocross future. Not anymore.” (Photo by Brian Blades/Cycle World)

SUPERIOR

P

roduction of the Brough Superior motorcycle began in 1919 when George Brough founded the Brough Superior Motorcycle Company. His father, William, founded the Brough Motorcycle Company in 1902 where George and his older brother, William Jr. worked as test riders, and George also entered competition events. After World War I the Brough Company was gearing up again, but George told his father he wanted to pursue building luxury machines. He then negotiated to take his third of the business and “build a Brough that was superior.” In 1919 he built four models. George, like many manufacturers, looked to other sources for a proprietary power plant. Initially J.A. Prestwich, aka JAP engines, was used, and others were sourced from Motosacoche, Bar and Stroud, M.A.G., and later Matchless. Quite often, Brough could specify certain aspects of the engine be built to fulfill a customer’s request. These were duly noted as “Brough specification”. The SS-80 was successful with its side-valve engine of 988 CCs. Of course, “racing improves the breed”, and Brough was to campaign several bikes with nicknames like “Spit and Polish” and “Old Bill”. The side-valve bikes broke records with 100 MPH on tracks. In 1924 the first SS-100 was built with its OHV JAP engine and Castle forks which was a design “borrowed” from Harley-Davidson. It was capable of 100 MPH. Each bike was dispatched with a guarantee that it had been timed “on a private road”. OHV racers were developed and called “Pendines”, named for the Pendine Sands in the south of Wales where high speed trials were run much in the same way that Bonneville Salt Flats is currently used by Triumph. To capitalize on the success of the SS-100, a “Baby SS100”, the 680, a 680CC OHV V-twin was launched. Later an even smaller run of nine 500CC OHV machines was unsuccessfully released. In the 1920s and ‘30s sidecars were a huge market. Brough built several to cater to public demand. One was a leaning sidecar that enabled the rider to activate a spring-loaded plunger so the motorcycle would lean and then snap back, enabling

high speed cornering. The other was the petrol-tube sidecar where several extra gallons of fuel could be carried in the frame. A pump was used to pressurize the feed. George Brough did not only use V-twin configurations. He explored many variations, including an Austin four with dual wheels in the rear, primarily for sidecar use. Other versions had a V-four, capitalizing on some cylinders already available. Several straight four designs were explored, and then the famous Dream engine which was a vertically stacked opposed twin crankshaft four-cylinder engine. Like BMW, it had shaft drive. Brough also pursued automobile production as his father had. He implemented the same business plan as his motorcycle company which was to use a known and developed engine, sourcing several power plants and frames from U.S. manufacturers. Hudson supplied an engine and frame, and in 1938 a Lincoln V-12 engine was used. The bodies were hand built using wood. In the mid ‘30s Brough began using AMC (Matchless) motors in his line, and production was limited to the SS-100, SS-80, and the 1150. This continued until World War II when production efforts were shifted to aircraft. Sadly, after World War II, the economy was compromised and there were no suitable power plants available. As a consequence, the production of the Brough Superior ended. It is hard to talk about the Brough Superior motorcycle without mentioning one of its most famous customers, T.E. Lawrence, also known as “Lawrence of Arabia”. Between 1922 until his death he owned seven Brough Superiors, riding almost a quarter of a million miles. He kept detailed logs, noting that few repairs were necessary. He was killed on number seven right after he had ordered number eight. The Brough Superior has been revived by Mark Upham. His design is very similar to a design Brough had proposed for post- war production, a L-shaped, 90-degree twin. The modern model is 88 degrees. May the legendary Brough Superior motorcycle live on!

he Quail Motorcycle Gathering is one of the world’s finest events of curated, rare motorcycle collections along with new leading-edge motorcycle brands. It is a gathering of motorcycle legends, innovators and riders of all genres. Every year the community comes together in the true spirit of the moto-enthusiasts and The Quail Motorcycle Gathering is the place to be. The show seeks to bring that community together in the same pure way that motorcyclists bond and come together naturally - for the love of motorcycles. The Quail Motorcycle Gathering saw an opportunity to broaden its appeal noticing that there is an up-and-coming community in the industry, and welcomes the newest motorcycle aficionados - women! Coincidentally, International Female Ride Day falls on the same day as The Quail Motorcycle Gathering and in true moto-enthusiast spirit they created a portion of their itinerary to honour the women who ride. Naturally it has gained in popularity. Today there is an excellence among us, an excellence that is gaining momentum. It is redefining an industry creating true trendsetters and visionaries. Meet two of the women who are taking a strong foot hold into the industry and making an impact.


Ginger Damon

The Fast and the Fashionable The Fast: Meet Kayla Yaakov, from Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, an 11-year-old young lady who races. Yes, races! She jumps on a full-size sport bike against men and women twice her age. She has participated in over 300 races with a room of trophies to show for it. She has 35 championships under her belt and is a two-time AMA Grand National Champion. She is flanked by her father who is her mentor and motorcycle tech. Dave Yaakov, a former racer himself, secretly hoped his daughter would like to ride. He got Kayla a dirt bike when she was three years old just to “ride around”. To Dave’s surprise, Kayla asked her dad if she could race. She doesn’t see it as she is racing against men and women, instead she sees her true passion. She loves it and nothing could be better. “Whether you are a girl or a guy, you should ride because you’ll love it and you’re just gonna have the time of your life.” No truer words were ever spoken, and if you ride you know how true that is and if you don’t, Kayla is a great inspiration to at least give it a try. Watching Kayla race, you can truly see she is having the time of her life. We wish her continued successes and are cheering her on! The Fashionable: Meet Ginger Damon of Gigi Montrose Moto Couture. Probably the most significant moment for Ginger was seeing a woman do a motorcycle stunt in a film she was working on. Her overwhelming enthusiasm endeared one of the stunt women to bring in her vintage BMW and teach Ginger how to ride in between filming. “I remember my boss saw me riding, and she yelled at me ‘what are you doing? You can’t do that!’ So, of course I wanted to do more of THAT!” Ginger shares.

So now Ginger needed her own motorcycle. She felt a sense of accomplishment, grace and beauty. The intensity of riding defines the power within her and just like Kayla, nothing could explain the feeling of riding. It must be experienced. Ginger wanted to create an identity more familiar to herself something fashionable, yet performance oriented. “I needed to get a protective jacket, but I hated everything I saw. The fit was uncomfortable, too big, too boxy, too masculine, and worst of all, too PINK! I was really searching for an expression of who I am when I am riding; feminine with a penchant for living,” says Ginger. “I would go to motorcycle events wearing fashion apparel, and as a result, men approached me inquiring, ‘Where did you get your outfit? I wish my girlfriend dressed like that,’ then the girls would come over and sheepishly ask ‘Where did you get your outfit? My boyfriend likes the way you dress.’” What became most apparent to Ginger, was it wasn’t about creating a motorcycle jacket, it was about crafting a separate identity for a growing community – creating balance. Today, she is partnering with companies such as DuPont to bring state-of-the-art protective materials in for the ultimate fashionable gear for women. In short, we come together because we are all part of a religion called motorcycles and this passion and dedication takes us all over the world. We meet people from all walks of life, we make lifelong friends and to quote Kayla: “If you try it once you will probably love it for the rest of your life.” Thank you for being a part of The Quail Motorcycle Gathering and International Female Ride Day. Ride safe, ride often.

This

year's honorary Legend of the Sport off-road motorcycling pioneer and AMA Motorcycle

Hall of Fame Legend Malcolm Smith is the recipient of the 2019 AMA Dud Perkins Lifetime Achievement Award. His name is synonymous with everything positive about motorcycling: fun, sportsmanship and excitement.

K

nown to his family, friends and fans as just “Malcolm”, Malcolm Smith gained fame as a Baja 1000 champion and International Six Days Trial gold medalist, and also for his Malcolm Smith Racing products. But for most motorcyclists, he is best known as the star of the iconic motorcycle movie, ‘On Any Sunday’. Malcolm's rise as a motorcycling legend is rooted in the competitiveness he inherited from his father and the work ethic he learned from men such as Rush “Pappy” Mott and Hall of Famers Bud Ekins and Edison Dye. Malcolm's first taste of competition was at a local hare scramble race in Riverside, California. His self-described style was wild and he quickly found himself on the ground in a fiverider pileup. He didn’t lose many more races over the next 50 years. In the mid-60s, he teamed up with Dye and began racing Husqvarnas at the International Six Days Trial (now the International Six Days Enduro). Of the many events he competed in, these were among the most important. Malcolm won eight gold medals in ISDT competition, and his medal run in El Escorial, Spain, was chronicled in Hall

of Famer Bruce Brown’s Academy Award-nominated 1971 movie ‘On Any Sunday’. What most people don’t know is that Malcolm was at first hesitant about committing time for the movie. He had recently purchased a dealership and needed more time to manage the business, but after a few weeks of considering the opportunity, he told Brown, "Yes, I’ll do it." Maybe it was the movie, or maybe it was his natural ability to win just about any type of race. Or it could have been his iconic smile. Whatever it was, Malcolm became one of the most influential figures in American motorcycling history. Malcolm Smith was inducted into the AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame in 1998 and was recognized as an AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame Legend in 2012. Over the decades since he claimed fame as one of America's most-liked and best-known motorcyclists, he has continued to promote the motorcycle lifestyle and help protect the future of motorcycling. The sport is more popular, more accessible and more fun because of Malcolm’s work, and the AMA Board has acknowledged that fact with the presentation of the 2019 AMA Dud Perkins Lifetime Achievement Award.
