Raser Bike

In the mid 1970s the motorcycle industry was in a period of transition. Because of noise and pollution, large two strokes were being banned from the streets in many countries and there was no such thing as a true, four stroke sport bike.
There were sporting four strokes, of course, but they were, for the most part, derivatives of regular motorcycles and those that came from Japan were, regardless of manufacturer, almost all the same. Built around an in-line four cylinder air cooled engine wrapped in a steel double cradle frame they were so similar, in fact, that they became known as the Universal Japanese Motorcycle (UJM).
