Hodaka. 60s to early 70s dirt bikes
The Hodaka story is unusual. The brand came from a relationship between a farm chemical company of the USA NorthWest and the company that made the engines for Yamaguchi Japanese bikes. Yamaguchi went bankrupt, and Hodaka was left without a buyer for their engines... It is an fascinating story. I wonder what would have happened if general manager Henry Koepke didn't die in a BMW motorcycle accident?
