In the late 1970s, a combination of events led to the demise of Hodaka. Falling [[US dollar]] exchange rates against the Japanese [[yen]], a shift in demand from dirt bikes to larger road bikes, and general economic weakness fatally wounded the company. Shell attempted to purchase the Hodaka company at one point but the offer was rebuffed by Hodaka in Japan. Some of the tooling was later sold to the [[Korea]]n company [[Daelim]] after Hodaka closed in 1978. In 2014, a complete history including in house notes, blueprints, photos etc. was published. The book is called "[https://octanepress.com/book/hodaka-motorcycles Hodaka: The Complete Story of America's Favorite Trailbike]". The book is authored by Ken Smith from Australia and has the most comprehensive history of the Hodaka motorcycle brand ever written.
