RE: Would you buy one?
I don't think they would start from scratch. But I could see them buying a bike manufacturer if they decide there's a lot of potential for the motorcycle market to grow, particularly in Asia as more people there get rich enough to upgrade from bicycles to motorcycles. If they acquired a Japanese company that has a valuable brand name, they would keep making the bikes under the old name. But if it were a Korean or Chinese company, they might decide to use the Toyota nameplate.

I think everyone would be interested to see a sportbike with the Toyota name on it.
And actually, if they continue with tradition, they'd recruit designers and engineers from current manufacturers. Toyota could make a sweet bike, I think. Their introduction of potentially less costly sportbikes with the same features as more expensive coutnerparts could reduce the entire markets selling prices.
Maybe if they did we could buy a brand new600RR for under $5000K. Maybe... ?
