Yep, I've seen it before Bert, but that is a very impressive vid! I wonder why Honda have never built trucks? ;D

I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"

    Are we sure they didn't build any back then? They do have the Ridgeline Now. When I was stationed in the Air Force, I was stationed in Northern Japan and saw Suzuki Trucks and Jeeps. Kawasaki was into Planes and maybe buses. Of course Yamaha was into musical instruments, including pianos, maybe more.

G'Day Bill, yep, I've seen Suzuki trucks, my cuz loves 'em, but they're only little suckers. I'm talking semi's, Hino seems to be Japan's biggest truck manufacturer, I'm just surprised that Honda hasn't had a go too? Cheers, Terry. ;D

Hey there Terry. I trust that you are doing well! LOL! I will never forget the first time I heard one of those little Suzuki trucks. Heard some kind of a 2 stroke sound and imagine my surprise when I found myself looking at a tiny little truck! I hear ya, Honda seems to be into quite a few other things, eh?

Yeah Bill, I remember seeing some pics in an "Iron Horse" mag back in the 70's, they had a little Suzuki truck that they'd re-powered with a Harley shovel engine, it was a pretty cool little truck! We got some 2 stroke Suzuki 4WD's here too, (Suzuki LJ50) I painted one for a mate and drove it around a bit, it was a cool little jeep. ;D

FYI:

Kawasaki's origins go back to 1878, when Shozo Kawasaki established Kawasaki Tsukiji Shipyard in Tokyo.

Ha!   Actually quite interesting how a ship builder became one of the biggest motorcycle manufacturers in the world.

I think the motorcycle division is just a small part of Kawasaki Heavy Industries? At least it was when I last looked. (when I owned one) ;D

Yes, exactly, still is.
