Well such A-type. It is so-called moped type. Soichiro Honda, who made a fine bike in Japan without a thing after the war it is still great. Of course, this era, bike manufacturer is not only in Japan. Let’s see what was making any kind of bike in the other manufacturers.

But not necessarily have been successful from the beginning, it would be that. Around this time the Japanese motorcycle manufacturers to seems to have been mushrooming, that most of the manufacturers went off. Honda was also the tightrope management, how such of that? I do not know well. In this way and look back on the history has been infested interested in Soichiro Honda. I also try to read in the biography.
