Here's a write up from our friend Kuroneko in Japan. He gives it a good comparison to the Yamaha Morphous (Maxam) and the Honda Helix (Fusion). Take it away Neko! The Gemma is 100mm shorter than my Maxam, so it feels considerably more nimble on the road. Corners and lane changes are a lot less barge...

Supercublogger in Tokyo has gotten the scoop on the brand new 50th Anniversary Edition of the Super Cub and Little Cub. From this photo you can see she's got a black-n-gold badge. For the most part it seems Supercublogger likes this new Cub and is probably snickering at those of us who will likely...

Here's an image from the Clipper Monsoon flickr collection of a girl in Kyoto, Japan on her Suzuki Choi Nori. According to this site, Choi Nori basically translates into "A little trip"... something like that. Click the link to read more than you've ever wanted to know about the little...

(Long, Low, Luscious and unLikely to ever make it to the USA. Image Source ) Back in October 2007 we reported that Suzuki was showing off their new Gemma concept at the Tokyo Motor Show. Today, the Gemma is no longer a concept. Suzuki is going into full production with this low rider for the Japanese...

Akisan sends us this COOL video from Japan. When it first starts up you might shrug your shoulders, but you'll be smiling by 1:30. This video is actually a bike riding school demonstration. Here you see the instructors showin' what they got. I think they ride so well because of the low center...

As long as we're looking at the Kuroneko collection, we have to make a pit stop at this image. Looks like a magazine scan of an alien craft and its proud owner. That is one CRAZY body kit. He's got to have airbags on that bad boy if he wants to go any direction other straight. Arigato to Kuroneko...

There's a "laid back" riding style, then there's this guy who is pretty much loungin'. Somebody get this guy a pillow. Click the title link to see the source of this image (Tokyo Scooter Stuff) courtesy of the black cat (Kuroneko).

The Max★Vox. If Yamaha had a partnership with Warner Bros. to produce a Bat Scooter inspired Vox (C3), this is probably what it would look like. I'd love to have better photos and specs, but I don't have a copy of the June issue of "MotoChanpu". You can click the title link to hop over...

FusionStyle Originally uploaded by squeezyrider Ahhh, the Helix (Honda Fuson) gets so much love in Japan. I had to share this one for the crazy front end configuration. "Cheers!" to squeezyrider for sharing this great shot!

I know it's been less than a year since I was last sweating over this bike but a friend of mine in Japan snapped some recent shots of the rare and wonderful Suzuki SW-1. When it came out in 1992 it was VERY unpopular. Today they are highly sought after and will usually sell for $8,000 - $9,000 or...
