    Really, just like for everyday cars, the aftermarket will provide parts for whatever reason, the tuner market is the same for big and small scooters.

    Take a Honda odyssey for example over here. Boring Soccer mobile.

    But in Japan where the price to own and operate a vehicle is much higher (hence why scooters are popular) people have created some neat stuff with their daily transportation.

    Example

    Looks like any other Previa....right?


    But underneath... its built with more than the daily commute in mind.


    What i'm saying is that there is a market and that is why parts like those are available for that scooter. If it's to flasjy, im sure their are ways to give it a more track inspired look.

    So because it's in Japan it's cool and if people think it's stupid and pointless here it makes us blind to what's cool and we dont understand? There are tuned up Odysseys in Athens btw...back in the late 90's they were the **** here to swap in motors and turbo them.

    Not what i meant.

    No, i've come to find out some of the stuff you'll find in japan is stuff i wouldn't be found dead in.

    Everyone is entitled to an opinion, if you don't like the scooter or van i posted, that's straight, again your opinion. I wanted to point out the reasons it is unique since we don't see these every day. But if you still dont like it then fine.

    I've seen tuned vans over here but they don't go to the lenghts people go to in japan to do them. It's more mainstream over there and really Vanning and VIP are the new "drift" craze over there.

    good.

    True about basic transport in other countries.

    You know there's been a proposal to ban 600cc and above Motorbikes/scooters in England.......
