I head to Japan for my honeymoon but you know I couldn't resist exploring the Motorcycle culture in Japan, as it's the home of the major manufacturers (Honda, Suzuki, Yamaha and Kawasaki).
I get to visit the Suzuki Motorcycle Museum and also head to the Ricoland Tokyo Bay motorcycle store to check out a motorcycle department store.

Perfect honeymoon Josh. Spending quality time with both your loves your beautiful wife and motorcycles. Bet your one of a select few tourists that went to the deer park and videoed the parked motorcycles

@AusMoto Ай бұрын

Haha for sure and I reckon I was definitely the only tourist videoing motorcycles at the deer park hahaha

in the 80s and 90s japanese motorcycle culture WAS crazy...but not these recent years...

@AusMoto Ай бұрын

Yeah, love the bikes from that era and seeing them in the museum makes me sad looking where we are at now.

それは言える。当時はオートバイの種類が多くて、楽しかった。

Main reason of the motorcycle market shrinking is declining of Japanese population. Ave age of motorcycle owners is over 50 y/o in Japan. This means who enjoyed motorcycles in 80 or 90 are still there, but younger ages go to another hobbies such as game, anime, smartphone, etc…😢

Did a MC tour around the Kanto and Chubu regions and I was suprised at how many motorcycles you would run in to and at the same time not suprised. Majority of drivers in the mountains we MC riders. I loved how I would bump into groups of riders at random combinis in the middle of nowhere. The conditions of the roads was something else, I rarely ran into any potholes (correction, I actually did not see one pothole on my tour) and personally love the mirrors in blind corners and even more amazing seeing them in roads that were literally in the middle of nowhere and how clean they were. The mirrors had definitely help in several corners with oncoming traffic. It's a completely different experience vs Melbourne Australia where a pothole could be in your next bend. Also with how conscious the drivers in cars are in the hills as I had every car pull over where it was safe to do so to let me pass. While I was in Yokohoma there was a Yamaha MC show on where they were showing many bikes from throughout their years. Saw several Bosozoku style riders and heavily modded scooters while in Osaka and in Kyoto. I can't wait to come back and do the northern region.

@@AusMoto Hit up Jon at Japan Bike Rentals in Tokyo. Aussie expat from QLD. My hire was a little pricey as I hired a gps unit, helmet and top/side boxes, but was worth it for the pre-planned routes that I probably would have not looked at. I took a detour off of my planned route and accidentally found an amazing road - which I found out when I got back home was a famous road used in the game Initial D, the Irohazaka road. The uphill side is a double laned road with manageable bends compared to the down hill side which was just all pinpoint turns.

We hired a couple bikes from Rental 819 last year and did a bit of a tour. They seem to like the open face helmets with the clear bubble shield - like something from the sixties. Waving is a bit hit and miss too. Either no nod or wave and then random ones come at you with an arm flinging in the air a kilometre away! But yeah... a lot of models we don't see here. A lot of old ones too, in pristine condition.

@AusMoto Ай бұрын

Man I was looking at hiring from them but couldn’t fit it in the trip. Next time 100%!

@thanhiclez Ай бұрын

Honestly I got a quite a few waves while on my MC tour. Pretty much at ever straight road, LOL which was pretty much rare.

Hi Josh, thanks for showing this. I also had a black V-Strom 1000 and also regret that I sold it;-(... Visited the Suzuki museum as well as the Yamaha museum which is not that far away from the Suzuki museum. When visiting both (at the same day) I felt that the atmosphere as well as the way bikes were presented was much better at Yamaha. Also, the Yamaha museum is a lot bigger and more modern kind of. Should you have a chance, go and visit. There is also the Kawasaki museum at Kobe port which is not so big but also very nice. It shows motorcycles, ships, robots, turbines and trains, i.e. everything Kawasaki has built.

@AusMoto Ай бұрын

No worries, the initial plan was to also get to the Yamaha one on the same day, just didn't have time. Hopefully next time I'm there I get a chance!

@Ozrake Ай бұрын

Hey mate, been to Japan couple of times. Everytime I have rented a car and drove around on their version A roads and B roads.. always thought it would be an amazing country to ride. Not many places renting, not reasonable rental prices either. Quite daring of you to be making a motorcycling video on your honeymoon, I bet that was thhe only way you could include some motorcycling in your honeymooning itinerary :P

@AusMoto Ай бұрын

I'd love to rent a car/motorbike next time I'm there, absolutely amazing roads and yes, very lucky that I got to visit some of the motorcycle places hahaha!

@budget-adventure Ай бұрын

“I can see myself riding this” “That’s what you say about every bike!” Thank you Mrs moto for the laugh, he’d buy every bike he rode if he could lol. And thank you for letting him point the camera at some bikes for a moment.

Awesome honeymoon are you going to check out the other motorcycle museums as well? Also you should do another "honeymoon" in Italy and check out the factories there

@AusMoto Ай бұрын

We only had the chance to get out to the one but next time I visit I definitely will be visiting the rest of them and I’d love to visit the ones in Italy!
