There's some info on Wiki about them: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mazda_Roadpacer

So....so far we have Holdens with Nissan, Mazda, Opel and Chev motors....I guess it must have saved GMH bloody fortune in engine manufacturing costs

Well they certainly aren't alone - Ford has or is using Mazda, Volvo & Fiat engines and that's just what I can think of off the top of my head, I'm sure there would be more if you dug about a bit. Not that it's unusual these days, all kinds of manufacturers have alliances with other companies.

No, Ford were even cheaper - they just put Ford badges on Mazdas etc!!

Here for the arcade.
Suzuki and Kawasaki are a good example. RMZ-KXF 250's and DRZ-KLX 400's and 125's.
