Japanese Customs

[gav]

Just love how the Japanese get into customising their bikes, not always the latest the greatest, some nice old bikes looking reaaly sharp. What do you reckon?

[gav]

Then they have more modern stuff that they modify to look older!

[gav]

The supermotard stuff is huge at the moment

[gav]

They like their old Kawasakis over there!

That second lot are quite cool... the ally tank job looks nice... what was it???

and the "Mad Max" z400 look-a-like (just noticed the frame)... go the Goose!!!!

[gav]

Apparently scooters are the next big deal, lowered with neons and stuff or race replica stuff!
Oh and a SRX for white trash, should have kept it mate!

All these photos are "stolen" out of Japanese bike papers, bit like bike point or trade me I guess!

I'm told CB750s are in demand over there.

Really like what they do to monkey bikes.

Every time I see this thread title - I think "oooh - what do the japanese do at this time of year" and then I get a feast of bikes - COOL....

Now I think I might have to get myself one of those big 250cc scooters!

:doobey: :2thumbsup

I would love a Bonnie, with the power of a 600 sports, but sounds like the old bonnie and is painted like McQueen's in the great escape :headbang:
