Honda SOHC Shop YAMIYA, Nagoya Japan

YAMIYA is also located in Nagoya. I didn't get the same level of access as I did at the two other shops so no back room photos. YAMIYA makes parts and works on bikes. The shop is located in the same building as the showroom, but up on the second floor.



The "white" bike is a local Nagoya favorite mod/theme



Side by side comparisons of two "wing" emblems. If you look at where the studs meet the emblem, you'll see that the YAMIYA version on the left has a reinforcing shoulder, whereas the competitor's doesn't.

WPBill, the SOHC early 70's Honda are one of my favorite bikes ever. I hope I don't get bashed for saying that. :whistle: Almost bought a 75 CB550 Four this past fall. My preference would be a CB400 Four SS Super Sport. That would be awesome! Thanks for the photos. Brings back a lot of memories.

I gave my CB550 Four to a friend of mine in need of transportation a few years ago I will own another one again someday (the carbs stopped up with rust he let a guy work on it and ended up losing)
