What makes the Hodaka suchan outstanding motorcycle? “Theword is simplicity,” reports a notedtest writer. “Six tools. Six simple, in-expensive tools plus a standard set ofmetrics are all it lakes to completelytear down and reassemble this littlemasterpiece of design.”2. The first Hodaka was producedin 1964. Since then, over 140 im-provements have been modified intothe design. Many are small things. Thekind multi-model manufacturers don’thave time to notice. For instance, in1968 we equipped the foot changeratchet plunger with an extra greasenipple. And designed a longer shoulderfor the sprocket overlay bolt. Just twoof the many modifications that helpkeep the Hodaka running longer, andfaster than comparable makes.3. Each Hodaka is engine testedand ridden before being offeredto the public. Not every fiftieth.Orevery tenth Hodaka. The Hodaka yousee on the showroom floor is perfect.From flywheel to fender mounts, it’sbeen tested and inspected. Not everymanufacturer has the time to do this.But we do with the Hodaka. It’s allwe’ve got to worry about.4. Most new Hodaka parts willbolt right on to earlier Hodakas.So if you’re already a Hodaka owner,you don’t have to buy a new one justbecause it’s got more attractive clutchand brake levers. As one industry writ-er put it, “The old ones ran very well,it’s just that—like the ads say—detailimprovements offer just that.” Partsinterchangeability. We designed it thatway. It makes Hodaka riders happier,and that’s good enough for us.5. More accessories are designedfor the Hodaka than any singlemotorcycle model made in theworld.

Yet, with the number of modi-fications possible, it’s become the in-dustry’s most versatile machine. Ho-daka’s full down-tube frame, lightweight (180 lbs.), and standard five-speed transmission give it the basis fortop performance in any event.6. Past performance is proof.Many people ride the Hodaka foreasy pleasure. But the proof of agreat machine can be demonstratedonly under the strain of competi-tion. Hodaka has been the NationalTrailbike Champion the last threeyears, winning more events in itsclass (and many out of it) thanany other trailbike.In one California desertevent, fifty-four out of the seventy-four lOOcc class finishers were rid-ing Hodakas.
