| Harley-Davidson 1926 | |
| Harley-Davidson, USA | |
| While the company is synonymous today with its V-Twin machines, Harley-Davidson has also made single-cylinder machines from time to time. This 1926 model, which looks similar to the company's contemporary twins, was intended to be the company's entry level machine, although few were finally made. | |
| 350 cc, single cylinder SV, 73 mm bore, 82.5 mm stroke. | |
| Harley-Davidson 1929 | |
| Harley-Davidson, USA | |
| This large V-twin, with solid construction, is an example of the style that made Harley-Davidson so popular in America. This exhibit, painted in Harley-Davidson "khaki"? was restored and donated by the late Wally Kilmister. | |

| Harley-Davidson Model 11C 1915 | |

| Single cylinder, 4.34 hp, 2-speed rear hub, combined foot and hand clutch. | |
| Heinkel, Germany circa 1960s | |
| Founded in 1922, primarily in aircraft production, Heinkels, when forbidden to produce aircraft post-war, turned to building two and three wheeled vehicles. The Heinkel "Tourist"? scooter became a common sight on German roads with 100,000 built by 1965. | |
| Honda CB350 1971 | |
| Honda Motor Co, Japan | |
| By 1959 Honda was already the world's largest manufacturer of motorcycles, although their range was dominated by scooters and light machines. The CB350 and its identical sister CB175 model were the export breakthrough the company needed - particularly in America where there were practically no light machines available. These sturdy and reliable machines literally sold in their thousands and established a reputation for the company's products which persists to this day. | |
| 347 cc, 4 cylinders producing 34 bhp at 9500rpm | |
| Honda CBX 1977 | |
| Honda Motor Co, Japan | |
| Honda ushered in the superbike era with their original CB750 in 1969, and the CBX, introduced in 1977, was intended to be the last word in superbikes. The CBX was designed by the same team responsible for Honda's legendary four, five and six cylinder Grand Prix machines of the sixties, and was later shamelessly copied by Benelli. | |
| 750 cc, 6 cylinders. | |
| Honda T50 Moped 1967, Japan | |
| By 1960 Honda was exporting in excess of 168,000 machines to over 50 countries and numbers quickly grew as new overseas subsidiaries came on-line and new factories were built in Japan to meet the demand. While busy building varying models of motorbike, Honda continued with production of "City Bikes"? and "Mopeds"? such as this 50 cc single cylinder, 4-stroke engined moped with pedal start. | |
