HODAKA
The one
for the money
When we were kids there was a saying
you'd hear just before a race. "One for
the money . . Two for the show . . . Three
to get ready . . . and Four to go!" We'll
show you this rhyme is more than kids'
stuff.
Hodaka is the "one for the money" that
means a solid investment. It costs a little
more than some others because it's worth
more. We’ve put more engineering and
“no-nonsense'' quality components into
Hodaka. You get more performance and
value out of it. The low obsolescence fac-
tor . . year-to-year . . gives Hodaka
one of the highest resale values.
The Enduro version and the Super Rat
motocross version of the one basic Ho-
daka model are much more than "two
for the show" . they're two for the
“go". with attention to performance and
dependability rather than color schemes
Why wait for "three to get ready", when
Hodaka comes ready . . . straight from
the crate?
And "four to go" isn't enough. Hodaka's
reliable, proven 5-speed transmission is
one of the world's smoothest gear boxes
with a power range broader than most
250's.
Hodaka's at home on the range . . .
it's built from the double-loop frame,
up, as tough and mean as the legen-
dary Mustangs. So you can ride it
all day long ... as hard as you've
got the guts to drive it . . . and it'll
haul your bod back again without a
cough or a limp.
Hodaka may be a limited-production,
Japanese-made machine . . . but the
Europeans sure know all about it. It
out-sold every one of their machines
(Cycle's "Bike Purchased'' survey).
Our Oregon engineers and our skilled
craftsmen in Japan are one team with
one unbending philosophy ... We
will continue to produce a superb
motorcycle through unhurried, quality
craftsmanship. By constant engineer-
ing and attention to detail, we'll main-
tain our high standard of workman-
ship.
The testing, and improving goes on
constantly. There's no specified time
for “big pushes and model changes"
for the sake of change. The proven
combination of the Hodaka 2-stroke,
piston-port engine and integral 5-
speed transmission is an envied win-
ner. The twin-tube engine cradling
frame has been basic to Hodaka for
over eight years. Other major manu-
facturers accept its superiority.

that add up to "Hodakability"
