AFAIK Mitsubishi doesn't manufacture scooters! Mitsubishi even doesn't manufacture any motorbicycles. Can anybody link me? anobo 00:31 26 May 2003 (UTC)

Mitsubishi manufactured motor scooters back in the late 50's and early 60's. They called them "Silver Pigeons" and they were excellent quality scooters for that period. Montgomery Ward sold Mitsubishi Silver Pigeons in the US rebadged as "Wards Riverside." Wards even used that name on Benelli motorbikes, but these came from Italy.
The Silver Pigeon scooter is prized by collectors, but parts are in very short supply.
During World War II, Mitsubishi manufactured airplanes, notably the "Zero," for the Japanese military. They no longer make those, or motorscooters either for that matter.
