Have any of you guys ever heard of a Kia Honda motorcycle? Apparently, that's what they called the ones that were made for the Korean market. The attached photo is the Young Lady (my GF) taken about 30+ years ago before she moved from S Korea to the US. Watch the commercial also.

Yes. They've been around forever and are the local Honda supplier with a 250cc limitation back in the 70s'.
I worked for AAFES in Korea and bought a new 750F, in the crate unwarranted as there are no retailers in Korea.
Any local owning a big bore bike knew what hands to grease as these officially were import prohibited.

Saw similar while stationed on Okinawa in 1972-73. Tricycle dump trucks and pickups. Had Honda and Mitsubishi emblems. The units in the film were probably license built by Kia specifically for the Korean market.
