Founded in 1962 as a division of the DL Industries, Daelim began producing Japanese Honda motorcycle designs under license for the South Korean market in Seoul, South Korea in 1963. In 1976, they established their own research and development center in Hamamatsu, Japan, and the next year, they began mass production of their own designs.
In 2018, the motorcycle division was separated and became a Daelim Motorcycle.
In 2021, the South Korean Daelim Motorcycles changed their name to the DNA Motors,[1] although the export brand in the U.K.[2] remains unchanged.
