Japanese HD History

[camos]

Stumbled over this interesting read on the Harley incursion into Japan and the beginning of their motorcycle history.

Interesting. Very.

 

I hadn't heard this story, or anything related to it before.

First I've seen of it also but that is a very sharp bike.

Here's the wiki for Japanese Rikuo Motorcycles mentioned in the above article.

I have seen this before and have mentioned it before on this site but that is in the past. Now if the metric companies would have followed HD in their marketing approach here who knows where it would have gone. Would HD be so dominant in the bike industry?
