Post World War II Italy, in light of its agreement to cessation of war activities with the Allies, had its aircraft industry severely restricted in both capability and capacity. Vespa is an Italian brand of scooter manufactured by Piaggio. The Vespa has evolved from a single model motor scooter manufactured in 1946 by Piaggio & Co. S.p.A. of Pontedera, Italy—to a full line of scooters and one of seven companies today owned by Piaggio—now Europe's largest manufacturer of two-wheeled vehicles and the world's fourth largest motorcycle manufacturer by unit sales. From their inception, Vespa scooters have been known for their painted, pressed steel unibody which combines a complete cowling for the engine (enclosing the engine mechanism and concealing dirt or grease), a flat floorboard (providing foot protection), and a prominent front fairing (providing wind protection) into a structural unit.

Honda CB77 The Honda Superhawk CB77 is a 305 cc twin-cylinder motorcycle and was produced from 1961 until 1967 (although there are some 1968-registered models). Honda also produced a 247 cc version called the CB72 Dream Sport, while in various advertisements referred to the 305 cc CB77 as a Dream Super Sport. The CB77 is commonly known as the Honda Superhawk (not to be confused with the much later Honda VTR1000F Superhawk), or Honda305. Attributes ~ The motorcycle was known for its robust and precise motor and the overall high quality of fabrication and assembly. The motor was a stressed member of the frame, strengthening the frame and improving the handling over designs with a "dropped-in" motor and cradle frame. All CB models had a forward-arcing kick starter, necessary in order to miss the right-hand footpeg, and re-locatable footpegs that could be sited well rearward (at the expense of forfeiting the pillion) thus enhancing the sporting ride position, especially when
