Honda Welcome Plaza in Tokyo

[zbillster_imp]

Work is boring me, so I thought I'd dig up some 2014 pics from my visit to the Honda Welcome Plaza in Tokyo, Japan.

With some bikes the USA doesn't get ... I wanted that CB400!








Asimo was performing for the kids ...



After all the kids had their photos taken, I went up last for mine.



(I was traveling with my Bike Friday travel bike at the time, and riding around the city ... thus the attire.)

Here's the location link if you're ever in Tokyo ... Google Maps

Yep that's a nice looking bike.

The red trellis framed bike looks like a VTR 250.

no kidding....that CB1300 makes me drool, and i'll never get one. Yama didn't even release the XJR1300 in the states. it's like they think if it isn't a big cruiser, it can't be bigger than 1200 in the US.

Thanks, guys. I was nervous about traveling to a land with a weird alphabet and notorious for being expensive, but it's the land of really, REALLY friendly customer service and convenience-store food is your budget-friendly friend (that's what the locals eat ... Lawson fried chicken strips are AWEsome).

At the time I was doing a JDM guitar safari and looking at the JDM cars.

Just as I said about the CB1100....one day they will bring that CB400 over and I will own it. Probably immediately.

The red trellis framed bike looks like a VTR 250.

That's my guess as well.

That's my guess as well.
In Japan, it's nicknamed the Pokemon ... "Pocket Monster" ... due to the Ducati Monster resemblance.
