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?

Apparently scooters are the next big deal, lowered with neons and stuff or race replica stuff!

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!
