EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back in time to the year 1959 when Naomi Taniguchi, a fearless 23-year old tester for Honda, became an integral part of Japan's groundbreaking race squad. With unwavering determination and skill, he fearlessly raced his Honda motorcycle through the most challenging tracks until 1964. Fast forward fifty years later to 2009, where we witness an extraordinary reunion as Taniguchi returns to retrace the iconic Clypse course. This remarkable journey was made possible by John Dalton's immaculate Honda motorcycle - a symbol of passion and dedication shared by both enthusiasts. Captured with precision by Hitoshi Sakamoto, this photograph encapsulates the enduring spirit that has kept Taniguchi riding on Honda motorcycles throughout his life. It serves as a testament to his unwavering love for speed and adventure that transcends time. As we gaze at this image, let us celebrate not only the incredible achievements of Naomi Taniguchi but also acknowledge the profound impact that Honda motorcycles have had on racing history. Their commitment to innovation and excellence continues to inspire generations of riders worldwide
