To all our customers;

Rising Sun Cycles has been supplying road racing supplies, GP bikes and replacement parts since 1998. Steve has been in the motorcycle business and involved in racing and teaching since the early seventies, (yes the older I get the faster I was and Google does not go back that far. - no internet or cell phones, how did we survive?). Primarily RSC have been handling parts and accessories for the Honda and Yamaha hand made, low volume, and purpose built GP machines. Due to the nature of these machines there have been many changes over the years and in most cases after 5 or 6 years some parts could become hard or impossible to purchase. Or in many cases prices have gone up from the manufactures a lot more than any of us would like to see. The problem is that due to the AMA and world racing changing the nature of their entertainment business the makers of these machines can no longer subsidizes these parts.  Many racing supplies are sold by the manufactures at or below cost to help maintain the particular sport for their advertising purposes. Therefore companies Like Honda and Yamaha who have been big supporters of racing for many years have to decide whether to continue supplying these parts or not. If they are going to supply them then they must at least break even if not try to make a small profit.  I would much rather the parts were available even at a higher cost then not available at all. Unfortunately, if Rising Sun runs out of an item that we have been stocking for sometime and reorder, the price may have been adjusted at the YEN level in Japan and sometimes to a surprising increase. In spite of the fact that we say “Prices are subject to change without notice” we as well as our customers are many times caught off guard with a staggering increase. We have artificially kept some highly needed parts as inexpensive as we can afford to help you keep your bikes on the track (i.e. Honda pistons which have doubled then double again in the last 8 years and RS125 crankshafts both of which mathematically should be much more in line with some of the kit part pricing). We have seen 50-100% increases on some items especially in Yamaha parts. This means that we have to correct our current prices with every incoming stock order. Then roll in the fact that the US economy, which pretty much caused this world financial crisis, has caused our currency to be worth almost 30% less against the Japanese YEN in the last 2 years. This has caused prices to rise quite a bit on many of these short run items. Also due to the lesser demand, production of these needed items is down so we run into periods between production runs when we are backordered on many items. Some of these can be show stoppers as when the RS125 Honda cranks were unavailable or almost 4 months. To help counteract this shortage we purchased all the VHM rod kits we could get our hands on so that cranks could be rebuilt. Besides direct costs of parts there are the shipping costs which sometimes can be surprising for our export customers even though each order confirmation includes a link to our explanation of these costs. (No one seems to read it so please CLICK HERE and read it now).

We at Rising Sun Cycles work hard to continue to make these OEM and aftermarket replacement parts as available as possible for all of us enthusiasts.

We have been supporting the sport as best we can from product certificates all the way to having given away a New Honda RS125 for the last 4 years in conjunction with the USGPRU. We are still a series sponsor for 2010!

Also, if you are no longer racing the 2-stroke GP bikes that we have been supporting, please think of us if you are looking for parts and accessories for your current race bike or street machine. Besides our current web site we will have new site up soon which will make all things motorcycle available to you from us.

Back in the old days when I ran AMA pro we used to carry our medical information on a microfiche card that we carried in a pocket of our race suit. (before everyone had a computer on their desk. Now microfiche readers can be found in your local museum).  Some organizations such as AHRMA require that we carry a hand written card on a lanyard around our neck.
We are now stepping into the future!
