Meguro 125cc : E2 Regina The production start of Meguro 125cc : E2 Regina will be carried out from May, 1957 as a succeeding vehicle of E1 Regina(125cc), and about 2200 sets are produced by July, 1958 when it will change to E3(125cc) which is the first OHC 4 cycle vehicle in Meguro. Although most differences with E1 Regina are not made, the main changed parts are coatings and are the form of a headlight case, design change of an oil tank and a tool box, etc. Moreover, a drive chain is equipped with a sealing type chain cover according to 250cc Junior of an upper vehicle etc., and the measures of the oil scattering prevention from a drive part are taken. Although it will become a little light touch if compared with E1 Regina by this change, no less than 10kg of actual conditions has become heavy from E1. Equipment of the sealing type chain cover reflected by taking in especially a request of a user etc. has influenced most. A frame is also extended a little and the distance between axes is long about 45mm. That thus, it can say in common with the motorcycle of Meguro It seems that they will be because superfluous specification and equipment are added in order for many of the factors to make a request of a user take in and reflect because it is in the tendency which gains in weight whenever the first model is the lightest-weight and piles up a model. Moreover, when reinforcement improvement was immediately carried out to that time which had much shock breakage by bad road run when the number of such complaints was also one, and the motorbike of Meguro did not break, it led to the reason which wins reputation, and this weight also serves as a dull cause of 125cc class vehicle of Meguro soon. Takeo Suzuki who was the "Meguro Seisakusyo Co,.Ltd" director about what a competitive small two-wheeled vehicle was not able to carry out, "since Honda and YAMAHA were the starts from a small two-wheeled vehicle, the small motorbike was its favorite. Even if it made it small, it was difficult for the place started from the large motorbike like Meguro to lower cost. The car in the United States is the same as a market being taken on a Japanese vehicle. " was recollected to in after years and it has stated. It seems that there are few cars by which E2 Regina is also existing, and the large majority has become a scrap. Since a possibility of it being used too at a farmhouse etc. and being remaining as it is in the warehouse is a high motorbike, discovery continues to be expected. *** Principal statistics *** * Total length : 2,050 mm * Full-width : 690 mm * Total height : 950 mm * Distance between axis : 1,335 mm * Weight : 120 kgf * Engine type : EH2 type: Single cylinder OHV 4 cycle * Entire aerodynamic volume displacement : 123 cc * Installed capacity : 5.2 HP / 5,000 rpm * Full speed : 70 km/h * Fuel economy : 70 km/L * Transmission : Advance 4 step rotary * Tire : (Front) 2.75x18-2 / (Rear) 2.75x18-4 * Starting system : Kick
