Japanese bikes came on the market in Melbourne well before they appeared in England. Mayfair Motors imported the first Hondas in 1956, the first Yamahas by Milledges in 1957. Mayfair Motors also imported Suzuki in the late 50's but I don't know the exact year. I do know I had a couple of year of Suzuki ownership up by the time they appeared in England in 1962.
There was a broad range of makes on the market here in the late 50's of which the English makes were fast disappearing and Japanese coming in.
Cheers,
