In the history of the years ' 50 and ' 60 represent for England the period of maximum splendour.
All fans are turning British brands knowing in their price lists to find the ultimate elegance, charm and performance.
The production includes many high displacement models, designed especially to the American market.
And the engines are often split two-cylinder so far from a European view that sees most of the single-cylinder models and small displacement.
These are the most glorious years for many historians marks: BSA and Triumph, Norton and Royal Enfield, Matchless and Velocette.
The Japanese competition still far, British motorcycles dominate the market absolutely.
But it is precisely in these years that the giant is revealed with feet of clay.
Strong dominant position manufacturers remain anchored on their own productions without having to invest in equipment or in the study of new models.
A conservative choice that put the various brands in difficulty in the late 60 's to bring definitive closure in the early 70 's.
