This is a very early NKB Castle. It is believed to be a 1937 model. It is a good example of the motorcycles that were produced by small cottage-industry makers in Japan in that time. This is the only known NKB model to exist.
1953 Honda Model J
The 53 Honda J was the first in the J series line. It was followed by the JA in 1954, the JB in 1955 and the JC models in 1956, 57, 58. The J model had a 90 cc engine. It was a very utilitarian machine in many respects and did not have a speedometer, or rear suspension. My good friend Ron Mousouris and fellow collector owns this model J.
This 1954 Honda Model JA is one of only two that are known to exist today. This is how the bike was as found. It is now apart, undergoing restoration.
1955 Meguro S2
The S2 is the first in a long production run of Meguro S-series 250 cc singles. It is a 250 cc 4-stroke machine that carries the lines of the popular British machines of the day. It is an older restoration and is the only known Meguro S2 in North America.
1958 Meguro S3
The Meguro S3 is an updated version of the Standard Meguro 250cc single. It has several improvements
in components and was equipped with turn signals.
This machine was imported from Japan after purchase from a private collector. It original with some
paint touch up on the top of the tank and a few other places. It is the only Meguro S3 known to be
in North America.
1958 Honda model JC
The JC58 is the last of the J-series Honda models. It followed the JC56 and JC57. Turn signals were new for 1958 along with some other minor changes from the 57 models. This is an un-restored original machine imported from a private collection in Japan in 2005.
This CB450 is my favorite daily rider. I have owned it for nearly 30 years. In 1985 it was removed from daily commuter duties and restored.
