Rockford, marketed in the United States from 1970 to 1975, was a motorcycle marque created after the withdrawal of Bridgestone from motorcycle production. Sold through Rockford Motors, the brand offered small-displacement two-stroke motorcycles such as the Chibi, Tora, and Taka, derived from former Bridgestone designs and later sourced from Taiwan. Characterized by lightweight construction, simple engineering, and limited production, Rockford represents one of the final chapters of the Bridgestone motorcycle legacy in North America.
