A Blog about Motorcycles. Also at www.OldMotoDude.Com, on the OldMotoDude YouTube channel, and Pinterest. The motorcycles are mostly vintage, but really anything that catches my eye. 99.99% of the content on this blog is original material. Comments are always welcome.

that is a VERY cool bike. it looks like it can be detailed a bit better with some deep cleaning and polish and wax. I love it. it would be a great bike to have
ReplyDeleteYes it's cool. But sooo hard to get parts for.
ReplyDeletedid they import Yamaguchi into the USA?
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't even start that bike. it needs to be detailed then displayed as art and never risk riding it at all. think of it as a full size model of a motorcycle instead of a bike to start and ride down the street.
I don't know if Yamaguchi's were ever imported to the U.S. Hopefully someone with knowledge of the brand will post here.
DeleteYes in California in the 60s they sold a 50cc Yamaguchi SPB Scrambler. To make a long story short they filled a warehouse full of 80cc engines then went out of business. That's where Hodaka came from.
DeleteBrock,
DeleteThank you for your comment. It's great to fill in the historical gaps.
