Collection: Yoshimura

In 1954 Hideo "Pops" Yoshimura started the company Yoshimura in Japan. Pops was trained as an airplane mechanic during the war and afterward made quite a reputation working on the BSA's and Triumph's of service men stationed in Japan. Pops had quite a talent at modifying existing parts to make more power. Although Pops worked on planes, cars, and all manner of other combustion engine powered vehicles, motorcycles were his first love.

Soon, Pops developed a large and well-earned reputation for building power. Customers flocked to Yoshimura looking for a competitive edge and Yoshimura delivered it.
