Engrish Catchprases on Jappa Bikes

**vtec** · 11th May 2006, 18:19

Hehe... Cracked up laughing today outside uni, when I saw this 250cc four stroke Yamaha with the phrase on the side of the tail piece which said "Tasty Sports for Urban Life". This is the best one that I've ever seen. My CBR 250 has "Super Response Quarter". It kind of makes sense once you decode it. But tasty sports was never going to work.

and to think i was proud of my "Cybermatic Sports"
lol....

YES!!! my bike is the ultimate engrish bike there is!

Remeber its not good unless its tasty!

My KRR has "Super Real Sports" and "Super KIPS" on it. It's not tasty, but its still a bit odd. Perhaps "KIPS" is "Kawasaki Impressive Powerband System" (and KRR is Krankin' Race Replica?)
I think the older KRRs had even more stupid things written on them.

KIPS was like Yamahas YPVS power valve. Some of the ones on the cars and SUV's are pretty funny.

Yeah, ive got those on my KR. I also have "Stable Steering System" as well, now that cracks me up! Oh yeah and "Race Replica" cant remember the others right now. In fact my bike has everything written on it bar KR...

Mine has KRR written in gold on the fairings. At least it doesn't have "150" written on it anywhere. At least they didn't come up with "KRR 150, like a motorcycle, but smaller"

That one makes sense because if you look at the Deltabox frame from above, it is shaped like a triangle (i.e. a delta), and it's made from box-section struts.

That one makes sense too coz a Bighorn is a type of mountain-sheep (see pic), so the implication is that the SUV can handle rough, steep terrain like a bighorn sheep

If anyones owned or been in the company of Suzuki's GSX750SE Katana they'll know these two beautys :

tail piece : Katana 750 aero dynamic super sports

fairing (just above the tappet covers) : this katana model is reborn with a novel style based on aerodynamics, light weight, and it's powerful engine, the full floater suspension mechanism and excellent steering stability improved by various grand prix races will assure you to high level of riding technique

and on an old XJ750 i had, proudly displayed above the instrument panel was:
