About IPONE

Since its establishment in Cabries, Southern France in 1985, the IPONE brand with its Katana & Samourai brand names, as well as the use of the Japanese flag, comes from the inspiration of Japanese motorcycles. At the time of IPONE’s creation, these bikes were at the pinnacle of motorcycle performance and technology. The IPONE name itself comes from the “Ippon” winning move equivalent to a knockout in Japanese martial arts.
