A Flash Of Gold
MOTORCYCLE enthusiasts are a sentimental bunch of people. We caress our rides as if they are a human being, and obviously, time and again we personify and relate them to our personality. We feel connected to various motorcycles many of which come from a different era and don’t exist anymore.

People who admire vintage or classic motorcycles have probably got their emotional meter a notch higher. It’s like they go back in time astride their decades-old motorcycle and want to remain there. It is nostalgic and in many cases, allows people to reconnect with their roots. For every one of us, though, it is just exciting to see what were some of the most popular and successful motorcycles of the past.
