The guy down the street from me has a 1957 Panhead. I don't know
anybody who has a 1957 Honda. That's because as I type this, I'm
drinking my Pepsi out of the '57 Honda.

I just read a review of a 1957 Riuko that is still on the road.
Granted, that's a copy of a Harley, but it was made in Japan. I didn't
think Honda had entered the US market by 1957, but I'm sure there are
still some '60s Honda motorcycles out there somewhere.
Myself, I owned a Suzuki, a Kawasaki and a couple of Yamahas, but no
Hondas, Harleys or even Riukos.
1957 was a banner year for Honda. That was when they produced their
first 2 cylinder motor under the Dream moniker.
I've owned a Honda 90, Suzuki 100 dualrange, a Honda SL 350, two
Yamaha XS 350's, a Montesa VR 250, and one really exotic - a Rickman
Zundapp.
