Triumph X-75 Hurricane

Let us take a look at another Triumph. The X-75 Hurricane was a factory special model. Craig Vetter came up with the concept. This bike came with a 3-gallon gas tank, fiberglass bodywork, a right-hand triple exhaust system, and lowered gearing. Even to this day, it serves as an inspiration to bike enthusiasts. It did not spend very long on the market since Triumph only sold it from 1972 to 1973.

Honda MB50

If you are familiar with bikes, you have probably seen the Honda MB50 in the past. This is among the most popular mopeds ever made. It was fairly slower than the rest of its contemporaries during the ‘70s. On the bright side, it was also more affordable. This must be how it got so big in Europe and the US.
