The 1960-year's Colleda 250TA was the first motorcycle ever to use combination brakes, even now standard in only few motorcycle models, the Honda GoldWing being one of them. The TB used a hydraulic rear break and a link was attached to the brake pedal, making both the front and the rear brake to activate when pushing the pedal. The engine (actually not a square 54 x 54 mm bore and stroke) engine delivered 20 hp, giving the bike a 140 kph top speed. A scooter styled lower fairing was attached to the bike to protect the rider from moist and wind and the model had a dual seat, making it somewhat of a touring bike. | The 1960-year's Colleda 250TA was the first motorcycle ever to use combination brakes, even now standard in only few motorcycle models, the Honda GoldWing being one of them.
