It's actually a remarkable adaptation to meet their needs.  We're coming from a completely different "world view" regarding motorcycles.  They're being eminently practical.

It certainly opens up imponderables about Load and Balance    :eek

How many kays does he get out of his tyres, I wonder.  What pressures does he run at, Diesel wonders...    :think1

I gotta wonder how does the driver get to his seat.
The passengers seats seem to be connected crossways and also fore and aft

Another VERY impressive point is THAT ROAD SURFACE. That surface is better than most of our 'so called' highways here in Oz.  At least those here in QLD  :fp
Getting wind in my hair while I still have some.

It's a "step-thru".  You step through the timber cross-members at the front, of course.   :o

Probably not what Honda had in mind when they called their bike a "step-thru".

And I'd have to agree with Skip about that amazingly smooth road surface.  It struck me as most unlike roads here.  Not a pothole or patch in sight.
