A weird example of a Japanese bicycle of the 1970's. At that time,
many Japanese bikes were imported into the U.S. Most Japanese
companies had a line of bikes for the U.S. market and a line for the
Japanese market. Sekine tried to sell one of their "Japan" models here,
but it just didn't sell. It has tons of accessories including brake
lights, sequential blinkers, a radio, racks and a rear mounted kickstand.
The Japanese were very interested in the U.S. "muscle cars," and this
bike has a bit of that flavor.
