I think they went tits up because they didn't keep up with what the
market wanted and people were dazzled by what the japs were offering.
I remember seeing one of the first Honda Dreams back in the sixties
and thinking it came from another planet!



Yes, they were nice clean jobs. No need to carry a tool kit and no oil slik
under the bike.
But they are 'disposable', in other words it is cheaper to get another one.
Has anybody here in this group tried getting engine parts for
Yam/Suz/Hon/Kaw.
When you get these parts, what about the special tools needed to do the
job?
pffft.
