First Tokyo ride

[Mersontheperson]

So I collected my little cub at 10:30 this morning, chatted to the owner in English while he talked to me in Japanese and showed me around the bike.
I gave him the number plates to affix, and took some photos of the bikes in his shop







He insisted that I ride around the block as he observed. Then after mandatory photo session of me by the bike, we parted our merry ways.

Beautiful sunny day for a ride and just followed my nose towards the Centre on Tokyo. I topped up with fuel at an attended station (3.25 l for 3 pounds), then managed to reach 50 Kmh over the bridge over the Arakawa river, there was a bit more left in the old girl too I reckon.

I arrived at Tokyo station around 30 or 40 minutes later


Looking forward to my journey home after work

very cool, I'd love a new FI '90, cub heaven!

They don't make FI 90s, only 50s and 110s. The carbed 90 lasted until 2012 in Japan though since it was a fairly clean motor though since I believe it had a catalyst and emission controlled carb.

I didn't know that, intriguing!
