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.

KIA and Honda does not have any relationship. Korean and Chinese been know to copy designs and make 'knock off' bikes from Honda. I'm pretty sure Soichiro Honda doesn' t want anything to do with KIA being Korea looking back in history with Wars.

I have been utilising and been tough midsection scooter trash for fifty two years, had Harley's, Triumph's, BSA's, a Vincent (1955) and my very final 3 motorcycles have been Honda's. Honda's are a great variety of motorbike on your greenback, low upkeep, trustworthy and damn nicely for the time of. i don't have something in opposition to Harley, as nicely the fee and my ego does now not could desire to be fed nor my male attractiveness shouted for the reason that there are doubts, equivalent on your chum.
