Not to be confused with the 49 Triumph Trophy 500 that had high pipes on the left hand side.

Step 1: Get any existing toy motorcycle.
Step 2: Slap a "Fonzi" sticker on the sides.
Step 3: Profit! (By quickly taking advantage of currently popular TV character.)

Fonzi never would never have ridden a Honda.
It would have clashed with his image as a "badass".  8)

also, Henry Winkler couldn't ride a motorcycle and damn near killed himself filming the few scenes where Fonzi rides.

Neat toy though! :)

  Wonder if Honda made a little extra change letting companies use their 750 image. I have seen the ride on vintage toys before but had not been aware that Fonzie finally found out the beauty of a CB750.
