Meguro 350cc : Y Rex Meguro 350cc: Y Rex, as a middle-class motorcycle series since July 1953, 3100 cars were produced in the three years to December '56. 300cc already had: type J, light Class "Junior" was up against a version of the series, "Rex" is the main 500cc class: type Z, the specification was easy to ride lightly. This time, the range was less than 250cc motorcycle segment light by the revision of the licensing system. And the new, longer range because the 300cc class motorcycles segment, I attempted to enhance the 300cc class and separated. The appearance of the initial model, 500cc: Z5 is similar to the design. Late-type, high-grade specifications is that the design of the fuel tank "Junior" change and so on. Light case has been signed and side lights as well as the Z5. Transmission, 500cc: Z5 was adopted from a 4-stage rotary type equipped with a proprietary Meguro forward. A high-grade specifications. The engine was developed for the Y Rex, OHV 4-cycle, single cylinder 13HP/4000rpm 348cc. Like the Z5, the timing cover "Meguro" in the logo. Of this development was a breakthrough, when the research on the stability of motorcycle operation, which was initiated Meguro. Initially, in the auto race, or to obtain a stable operation can be considered as conditions which, in order to attempt to materialize, the benefits of research grants from the former ministry utilizing the fund for auto racing received. Based on this, begin by multiplying the request was analyzed in the laboratory of Professor Kondo, Tokyo Institute of Technology since 1952. And, caster angle and center of gravity about, the results revealed, this Y Rex had been reflected. Collaborative research was still not uncommon in other Japanese motorcycle makers are just there to prepare a development not yet considered. Y Rex speaking of epoch, which was held in Sao Paulo in the year '54, will join the Moto race to commemorate 400 years of international open city. Japanese government to international friendship and decide to participate in the planting of cherry and Sao Paulo race. However, the ministry at the time about not understanding what this race was shelved with the state to participate in the race. Participation in realization of the race, the personnel of the ministry happens to be "has been invited to the race," I heard, was due to the efforts of some people. If that person is the first Japanese, T,T Racing UK Isle of Man, played to a Kenzo Tada. At the time, as he seeks to develop motorsports in Japan, was influential in the Japanese motorcycle industry. Immediately, the participants of the race, "Japan Federation of Small car racing," approached, and encouraged to participate at the request of the Japanese motorcycle manufacturers. However, because of the race participants were self, many manufacturers have already declined. At this time, decided to join the race, "Honda" and "Meguro" was. Each race bike preparing for, as its base in Meguro Y Rex with. The conclusion, in this race could not play. After entering the site, he caused an accident while driving a fall in official practice. A wrecked race bike, had a goal time for the final race again somehow. However, the player does not recover Tashiro race rider injuries, he decided to retire early. After all, Honda vessel race bike: R-125 became the only participant from Japan, have left decent grades. President of Honda: Soichiro Honda, the heavy unsatisfactory result, with a willingness to participate in the international race, "T T Race Isle of Man UK" aims to give a goal. Meguro one perspective then, and honor were selected from the Japanese government alone, without the need to join the race to defeat sake the force despite the accident, decided to send a substitute player in a hurry is also considered did not think that. Think that there was no funding. If the "Honda" is "Meguro" I'll stand if you encounter? Perhaps Soichiro Honda was prepared to substitute players at their own expense, I might actually try and meet the ship. Where there is interest then I think the outcome of both. The lineup Meguro "Rex" is a modest model seems to be very much in half, is considered much easier to use the horsepower you need for this "business bike" in such a practical way was. After "Junior" in the 250cc is "Rex" and will be able to deliver performance, 350cc class is due to single- cylinder 325cc OHC 4-stroke engine of the new development, changes to the sports model. *** Principal statistics *** * Total length : 2,155 mm * Full-width : 780 mm * Total height : 1,035 mm * Distance between axis : 1,400 mm * Weight : 178 kgf * Engine type : L type : Single cylinder OHV 4 cycle * Entire aerodynamic volume displacement : 348 cc * Installed capacity : 13.0 HP / 4,000 rpm * Full speed : 100 km/h * Fuel economy : 40 km/L * Transmission : Advance 4 step rotary * Tire : (Front) 3.00~19-4 / (Rear) 3.25~19-4 * Starting system : kick
