Great 1980s bike but not in the top six selling bikes in the UK based on available sales data 😁👍

Good choice 😁👍

@@MrRourk heck yeah those were the days 🚲

Great bike. They were around in the UK but not selling in enough numbers to make the top six sales list. 😁👍

If you check out the other video on the channel your question may be answered 😁👍

@@johnfarrow3463 Race Inc. were GREAT bikes. I worked in a shop , and was on the race team. We were sponsored by Bullseye sealed bearings. My RI weighed 5 1/2 lbs. alloy was much better than Chromoly. And with alloy bars , rims , gooseneck ,and one piece cranks . You could get them really light. And you HAD to have a set of Snakebellies !! ✌️✌️✌️

Thanks for your list of bikes, all great choices. In answer to your question, see the previous 575 comments 🤣😁👍.

@ well I don’t see a single mention about CW in any of the comments! Lol IJS … ✌🏽🤣😜

@jeffjackson9483 You never know, it may appear in one of the next few videos that aren't based on UK sales? 😁👍

@ awesome.. definitely will be on the lookout for that! Cheers 🤙🏽

They will both feature in one of the next two videos but based on the available data they weren't in the top six best selling 1980s bikes in the UK. Popularity doesn't always equate to success in terms of sales due to price and geographical availability etc 😁👍.

I respect your opinion but the available sales data says otherwise. What would your top six list of the best selling UK BMX bikes be? 😁👍

We are talking about the top six selling UK BMX bikes of the 80s, not necessarily the best performing bikes 😁👍.

I'm pleased you enjoyed the video, thanks for sharing your memories and for the feedback. It's great to recall those happy days occasionally 😁👍

@@antiquescentral Right on! Great memories indeed and so much fun. Soon after those days gone by, those fields turned into subdivisions or businesses and parking lots. But man what a time it was.

I have a couple more videos in the edit suite that should include quite a few viewers favourites 😁👍

I don't know much about BMX culture in the US other than what I've learnt from making these videos but I will definitely look into it in more detail. I'm not sure how well a US BMX video by a Brit would go down? Not very well I suspect! 🤣👍

Based on the comments, it was a popular bike! 👍

Because we invented the language, we can say what we like! 🤣😁👍

Nice choice 😁👍

Very nice! I bet it looks mint?! 😁👍

Keep your eyes open for the next video! 👀😁👍

Redline, very popular bike! 😁

Yes, I think that's a popular opinion 😁👍

You can say that again! I'm not sure downtown Birmingham UK is quite California! 🤣 You should look Druids Heath up! I think those bikes you mentioned would have lasted about five minutes before they got stolen! 🤣🤣🤣😁👍

Thanks for sharing your opinion 🤣. Look forward to hearing your top six selling bikes in the UK based on available sales data 😁👍

I didn’t realize u were so limited in your choices

That was the basis of the list as per video description. The next video features the top twenty viewers bikes based on comments received at the time of editing 😁👍.

Well done for hanging on to it 😁👍

Keep your eyes open for the follow up video 👀😁👍

Thanks for your feedback. I was hoping the video might get some US input 😁. I don't know much about US bikes but the next video will feature some US brands that did sell in the UK. 😁👍

Thank you for the feedback, much appreciated. I hope the video brought back some great memories! 😁👍

Thanks for confirming 😁👍

Interesting point about the Ammaco Freestyle being marketed as the Torker 😁👍

Keep your eyes open for the next video 👀, you may have a pleasant surprise! 😁👍

Thanks for sharing your information 😁👍

Not surprised. To be fair, there were dozens of bikes and variants in the 1980s! 😁👍

If you check out the follow up video on the channel you may have a pleasant surprise. Consider subscribing so you don't miss out on future uploads 🤔😁👍

No Walmart's in the UK. Not sure what the equivalent is? 😁👍

@antiquescentral Right. Moved here about a decade ago & seen them there. Both brands are China junk :( Far cry from what my older cousins had....

Unfortunately that seems to be the way of the world! ☹😁👍

Very true! I'm pleased the video brought back some happy memories! 😁

Correct, the list is based on the best selling bikes in the UK using the available data. I wouldn't dare claim to know anything about the US bike market? 🤣😁👍

@antiquescentral you did a great job, it was a great video. I'm 53 years old and it brought me back on a couple of them for sure. Always liked the kuwahara!

Thanks for your feedback, much appreciated. Keep your eyes open for the follow up video that does feature US bikes that did sell in the UK 👀😁👍

Fantastic story! 👍If you've subscribed I can add Florida to the subscriber list? 😁👍

@@antiquescentral Was a lot of fun! 💯I'll add you brother, but I hauled the goose on vacation!! I'm from East Texas!!! 🤘😁

@NObucketLIST Thanks for subscribing! The KZbin algorithm appears to be showing the video to a lot of US based viewers at the moment! It's really interesting to get an international perspective 😁👍

@@antiquescentral There are common interests among us. You have a cool channel. 👍

Thanks for sharing your list. I may be completely wrong but are you based in the US? 😁👍

@@antiquescentral Yes. Were those not available over there?

P.K Ripper was and will be in the next video. None of the others have been mentioned in any comments other than a reference to the Schwinn by an Australian viewer. As I say in the upcoming video, geographic location and availability are key to sales success wherever you are in the world. Every country will have its own list. 😁👍

Agree. Keep your eyes open for the next video 😁👍

🤣 Thanks for sharing your opinion 🤣😁👍

@antiquescentral u bet love the videos like i said 53 and still tool around on mybbmxers they can pull there high class dollar rd bikes mt bikes etc but when i pull up nxt to them they all look atvme and i say u no u wnt it and its better then there 5k bike cuz i no what i hv its priceless and cnt find if u do u will pay there bikes ok wlk into any bike shop sold here u go

This video is a suggested top six selling BMX bikes in the UK based on available data 😁👍

Keep your eyes open for the next video 👀 😁👍

Keep your eyes open for the next video 👀 😁👍

Hello there! Hope you enjoyed the video? If you subscribed I can add Michigan to the list? 😁👍

​@antiquescentral yes, I also liked the Raleigh auction video. The Schwinn Krates have really shot up in value here in the US. I sold my '70 Cotton Picker last year for $2,500 usd. I've seen another one for $5,500 and an Orange Krate listed for 10 grand. Subscribed 👈

Thanks for subscribing 😁. I will take a look at the US bikes from the 80s 👍. The Raleigh Chopper was of course based on the US chopper motorbike. Mine was Infra Red, loved it ❤ 😁👍

'64 was the first year of the stingray. '68 to '73 was the run on the stick shift bikes. They were illegal after '73 because of injuries. The wide apes were outlawed in '70, no more riding on the handle bars. There were many other brands of stick shift muscle bikes around that time also 👍👈

Thanks for the information. I will look the Stingray up! 😁👍

Exactly right! 👍 You ask 100 people and you'll get 100 different answers. It all depends on the context of the list. Is it based on sales for example or personal favourites? Keep your eyes open for the next video and you may be pleasantly surprised! 😁👍.

@@antiquescentral The cool thing about old school BMX was how the bike reflected the style and tastes of the owner. I worked at a bike shop back then. Dream job for a teenager in the 80s.

Definitely! 😁👍

PK Ripper, keep your eyes open for the next video due out in a couple of weeks! 😁👍
