Tohatsu




The Tokyo Hatsudoki Co. tried to keep up with the bigger Japanese motorcycle campanies by going into racing. The first Tohatsu racer was a moped- derived single named Runpet CR. In 62 came the first commercially available 50 twin, the CA50, and even somewhat fragile it was a winner. Driven by Dave and Mike Simmonds in the season of 63, the factory expected more of 64, but the Tohatsu factory closed down due to financial problem.
