|
|
At the Stafford show a few weeks ago, we were having a chat about some of the particularly strange bikes to have emerged from Japan over the years. This was prompted by the Electra-Glide replica Honda Monkey we saw on another stand (see below). A seed was sown...
We want to showcase this oddness at next years show. We're envisaging a stand where passing punters stop, mouth "what the f**k were they thinking?", take a photo and then walk away shaking their heads.
We'll need your help though obviously. For now, we want your ideas and suggestions.
Honda EZ90 :
Honda Motocampo :
Honda Baja Monkey :
Honda Stream, or any of the 3-wheeled Gyro variants :
It's not all small Honda's though. There's oddball bigger stuff too, eg. Suzuki Impulse :
Those are all standard models. We're also keen to see the more unusual aftermarket stuff, like the ELR-bodied Monkeys or this Katana-bodied RB50 :
So, ideas please. Feel free to add to this thread with ideas of your own, but we're particularly keen to hear from anyone who can actually lay their hands on something suitable. Not just bikes, but accessories, props or anything else that screams Japanese kitsch. And don't think we've overlooked Bosozoku... ![Wink](images/smiles/icon_wink.gif) |

Will do when weather gets better. Need to pull half the shed contents out, to get to it. ![Rolling Eyes](images/smiles/icon_rolleyes.gif) |
