Rikuo RQ (Honda Collection Museum)

Rikuo RQ

This is a 1955 Rikuo RQ, post-war version of the 750RS.  These were actually produced under official license from Harley at the time and used as a police bikes and transport for newspaper dispatch riders.  So this is basically a flathead engine in a smaller frame.  I would love to have one of these bikes....They are really, rare even in Japan.  Masaru said there is a person in Tsukuba that he sees riding one sometimes though..........this or was it a Meguro.....

If you are a Harley lover, know your history:
