JN074 I.J.A. Dispatch Rider

To accompany our ‘Type 94’ truck is this dismounted Army Dispatch Rider complete with standing motorcycle.

Pulling on his long, leather gauntlets he is about to mount his Italian designed, Japanese built machine.

Although the Japanese motorcycle industry thrived after WWⅡ during the 1920’s and ‘30’s the small companies manufacturing motorcycles in Japan tended to buy the licenses to build their bikes from large European makers... or ... simply copied

them!
