Motorcycles - November 2006

Thank you all for the answers, but I'm afraid that KIA Honda did exist. I can provide a close up pics of myself on one from 1974 thru1980. Friends can attest to this as far back as 1967. As far as I was told by my Korean mechanic, around 1959 or 60 Korea had insufficient capacity to manufacture motors for cycles. A delegation from Honda came to Korean and studied their roads and needs. They made three models, the "step thru" 50, the regular 50 motorcycle and the famous 90. The joined with KIA company and started assembling KIA Hondas, the first, and by the time I left in Dec '80, the ONLY motorcycle maker in Korea. About 1970 the did a short production run of a 250 version of the famous Honda CB 350. No one could afford the $4000 or the $8 for the rationed gas to ride it, so it was dropped by 1972, a couple years before I arrived as an Army radio announcer for AFKN in Seoul. Later, as a civilian, I owned several of them until a "mini Civil War" erupted and I left in late 1980.

I lived in Korea both as an Army radio/TV journalist in 1974-75. Moved back in 76 as a civilian and taught English there until a Civil War forced me back home at the end of 1980. I am writing a book on this fascinating story as told from the saddle of a KIA Honda motorcycle. I'd like to have some info as to what became of this one-time sole manufacturer of bikes in Korea. Not even KIA seems to know.

Yamaha RD350 is the lion of all the bikes manufactured till now in India. It was originally manufactured by Rajdoot Motorcycles in the early 80's with all raw power and looks that even today no other punny bikes can stand. It ruled the speed and roads of our great country once upon a time which no other bike has ever replaced it so far to my knowledge. Hello brothers in Rajdoot Company, are you all going through this?. Please help me out yyaarrr!!!!!
