Fascinating read and pix detailing dozens of early Japanese bikes and manufacturers.
It's like someone translated & posted a whole book.

 Put that one in my favorites when I have more time for a long read. Being an antique hunter I really like these history of type of articles,shows how far and fast we have evolved.

Yes, a lot of information there. I spent about an hour and still didn't read it all.
