The above motorcycle is the Yamaha YZF-R1.
Today, I will be talking about the fall out of the motorcycles.
Fallout
As is with all good things, they must all end. During the baby-boomers period, everyone had purchased a motorcycle. It was the generation that wanted speed and reliability and they found it in Japanese motorcycles. But during the late 70's when baby-boomers were concentrating on starting families and getting jobs that required most of their time, motorcycles started loosing their appeal. American distributors found themselves with a surplus of Japanese motorcycles that no one wanted to buy. They were forced to sell their left over stock at half or what their cost was. This drove many companies out of business.
That's all for today.
