Another inspiring story is of BMW, starting as a aircraft engine manufacturer which was no longer allowed to produce aircrafts and aircraft engines after World War in order to survive evolved into building its first motorcycle. A heart rendering story of Soichiro Honda, an uneducated young man from rural Japan, who without money or connections, realized his dream to create the largest motorcycle company of the world.
