VISITING TOKYO? TAKE SOME TIME OUT FROM THE CITY AND VISIT A TOWN – BIKE TOWN, THAT IS

Yes, you’re quite right. This is a Honda 250. Or was, anyway

The heavily built-up area between JR Ueno Station and the adjacent district Showa Dori is even shown on maps as “Bike Town”. It has a bewildering number of motorcycle dealers, repair shops and accessory stores all jammed into buildings with vanishingly small footprints. Some of them have floors which are no larger than the average Australian bedroom, and some of the bigger businesses like Corin are spread over several buildings.
