1956 Colleda 250 TT
How's that for a groovy bike! The Japanese Colleda 250 TT was a two stroke twin producing 16 bhp and featuring 'interesting' styling. Love those long rear indicator mounts and the headlight nacelle!

What happened to Colleda? In 1960 they changed their brand name to Suzuki, and that's where another story starts........
Styling is very much like a 50's NSU. Some of the early Hondas as well had that look.
