Though they seem particularly ill-suited to Tokyo driving conditions, Harleys have a following in Japan.

Here it is, the ojisan dream bike! A big brother to the Super Cub, the Honda 125cc Benly twin has been around forever and is a favourite among the geezer crowd. You can walk into a Honda showroom and buy one right now that is virtually identical to those of three decades ago. And there are some good reasons for this - it's just about perfect the way it is - strong, solid, reliable and economical to run. This one features a particularly nice box on the back, which fits on the skookum rack that these bikes come equipped with.
Not sure if this was a piece of installation art, or what?
Another cool-looking folding bike, apparently made in the UK.
In an earlier posting I was wondering if the Japanese manufacturers were still making the seven-passenger wagons that were appearing a decade ago; it turns out they are, and it seems to be a pretty active market segment. Here is Honda's offering.
