The Hodaka is built for one purpose. To out-last and out- perform its competition. How is this done? By refining the same basic, superior design year after year. Perfecting the little things that multi-model manufacturers don't have time to notice. Carefully examine the new Ho- doka. Notice the trip-set odom- eter. The feather-light clutch operation and spring protected throttle cable. And the rubber mounted gas tank. Little things that add up to big things. We only build one bike. But we build it better than anyone else in the world. Norm Parcell wins the 100 Expert class of the Eureka Grand Prix, Eureka, Utah, June 1i, 1972. DON'T FORGET.
