Choinori was a lightweight, inexpensive, 50cc scooter and the antithesis of the Skywave 650, but they were introduced at the same time in an effort to increase domestic sales in response to shrinking motorcycle exports.[45][46] The 2002 Choinori is one of the JSAE 240 Landmarks of Japanese Automotive Technology.[47] The Choinori was awarded the G Mark Good Design Award in 2003.[48]
