Is it a Honda or a Ducati? I had to laugh when I read that Honda patented a 'new trellis frame'
Is it wrong I want one?

Their 750's, that motor was off a car design from Europe, I think an NSU.
That they are knocking off an Italian mark, just business as usual.
They will take that monster, refine everything about it, put the sell on it, and laugh all the way to the bank.
Not a lot of shame in most any business, it's about profit and loss.
That Ducati can't get it right, or market what they have, that's their problem.
But that didn't work too good, wore tire out real quick.
The first Honda that went to market, the Dream.
And yes, it's a 2 stroke.
I watched a show back in the eighties where they interviewed the guy that came up with the technology for inking the logos on soda cans. He said in Japan his general technology patents issued here in the US wouldn't hold up and they were trying to steal his idea. He said if you had a patent protecting something like a car here, in Japan you'd have to patent all the different colors of the car or they could get around your patent based on such a on such small difference.
Because the Japanese government participates so directly with its businesses; its gonna allow businesses there to get by with just about anything if its a market it they want to dominate. They've done this with cars, electronics, flat panel displays, motorcycles and such.
