I'm a bike noob, despite being 40 yrs old.

Got my license late (at 34) and had just an Hornet 600 since, never being on a track with it.

Right now I have no bike at all, as I moved to bloody scotland, where there are just two possible conditions: wet or damp.

MaX.

Ha, that has just evolved a tiny bit !

Put the shades on your be looking like the terminator has just landed in France!

Back to south of France, the weather is now more bike-friendly and, as my birthday is approaching, I managed to get this:



Hesitated a lot on a Street R and when I finally decided to go for it it was gone. Doh !

MaX.

Yohji is it possible to buy sport bikes and cars in Japan? I've read somewhere that there were limits in power and displacement

Yohji is it possible to buy sport bikes and cars in Japan? I've read somewhere that there were limits in power and displacement

yes, until few years ago.

it was hard raglated sound, and Exhaust emission. and restricted power

motor cycle max power limited
50cc-7.2ps
125cc-22ps
250cc-40ps
400cc-53ps
750cc-77ps
over1000cc-100ps (Even 1000cc supersports too!)
(-400 bikes required normal bike license,
over400 required  big license license in japan )

and supersports bikes not sell in japan untill few years ago

car power maxpower limited 280ps any cars

so many rider had bought Reinport bikes to ride Full power sports bikes(these bikes made for canada,malaysian,or anything)

But now, sound and  Exhaust emission is same to EU reglated, and remove power limit. (GSX1300R hayabusa (193ps)selling in japan now)

Wow so I remember correctly. And do you know what was the reason for this? After all Japan is a leader in motorcycle development for a long time.

They say [High power is dengerous]
In practice, the cause-and-effect relationship between power and an accident is not proved by data.


in japan, motorcycle culture not penetrate...

It's more accurate to say, japanese people(GOVERNMENT) not good understand motorcycle culture.

so,,, last week, Marc marquez became MotoGP champion in japan. but almost all any media no news it...

japanese peaople(even not sports fan) knew Ichiro(base ball player),Keisuke Honda(soccer) Kei Nishikori(tenis), but, they Don't know Hiroshi Aoyama, Takaaki Nakagami, Daijiro Kato, EVEN Marc Marquez and Valentino Rossi! maybe also Kamui Kobayashi...

In japan, motorcycle rider  seems that it is often antisocialy...

many japanes highscool active [No three activity]
it's No Get bike licence, No ride Bikes, No buy Bikes, to highscool student... They say due to [Bike is dengerous and antisocialy]←What are you say!?!?  (in japan row, bike licence can get since 16years old)

unfortunaly, japanese bike technology is very high, but japanese bike culture level is not so high...
