I like it! If you want to travel in style this is the way to do it...although your definition of style may be different than mine ;).

I think the guy at 1.35 has to have the most stupid bike though...the rest I like...

thanks for posting
cheers

What's styling in Japan is not necessarily the hot setup here. As Mr. Vonnegut said, "so it goes..."

Not my style but you got to respect someone that put that much time and effort into their bike.  I guess as long as they are proud of it because I certainly wouldn't ride any of them but they are interesting none the less.

Looks like a bunch of guys coming back from a great weekend of riding and camping somewhere. 8)

Wish I could have joined them.

They have the motorcycling spirit and I would love to ride with them. Camp out, drink beer and talk crap and have a load of fun. Rock on!

Sure, they might be cool, fun guys. If so they're the coolest, funnest guys in town with the most gouge-my-eyes-out-ugly bikes I've ever seen.

If the feeling of revulsion is an indicator of an artistic experience, then those guys are the friggin' Picassos of ugly bikes.

It worked for them, but think about this, when was the last time someone posted a video of thirty or so cafe racer coming back or going to a camping weekend?

is it japanese?just had another look at it,i thought japan was real tight on vehicle saftey/ specs etc,no front brakes and stuff?maybe they had an honourable permit for a day ride,judging by the size of some tanks not far.
