COMMENT - The Coventry Motorcycle Industry Corridor ...... 4
Never did Robin Bradley expect to be writing about the motorcycle industry of the hometown he remembers from the 60s and 70s , but with Triumph , Royal Enfield , and now Norton and BSA all to be based in a 20 mile radius , he says it is time to be glad for the changes that have been playing out for the past decade .

It may be largely derived from QJ ' s Benelli parts bin , but the design is more flat-track meets roadster than Italian race heritage .
