Lucas makes more than auto electrics -- they make electrics for British beer fridges too.

Not using Google, this is a tough one, but I remember from a documentary on them that they were into aircraft. So possibly fighter airplanes would be my best guess.

Bayliss vs Edwards final showdown.

Name the track and the year.

CanAm was Bombardier's entry into MX motorcycles. I had a couple of these in the early 80s.

YPVS is the powervalve system used by Yamaha on some 2 strokes. Great idea if the valves were more dependable and cheap to replace. I ran a Suzuki TS200R for a long time, had the similar Suzi setup -- burned up $600 worth of valves every 10,000km.

What was the first streetbike lineup to use a monoshock?

Yamaha, but I'm not sure which model.

It's an educational game where one question is asked, answered, then another one asked. Try and keep the OP format going.


Q. Who made the first electric motorcycle?

Zero, but who cares?

 

[Low rider]

Used on racing horses to get better traction -- the equivalent to knobby tires on a dirtbike. My dad used to ride chuckwagons, he has one hanging over his desk.

What 70s era bikes had high and low range transmissions?

Honda CB900F had High and low gears

The big 4 Japanese manufacturers all released at least one factory turbo bike. Name 1 turbo bike from each of the companies and the year for each.

First bike on the market with turbo I believe was Yamaha with the 650 Seca turbo
Honda came out quickly with the CX650 turbo
Kawasaki had the 900, I hated Kawasaki and won't come up with the name of it.
Suzuki had the NX850????????

 

[Low rider]

TRAC

I think that was Yamaha Power valve?????
