The decision to import a motorcycle from Japan is a choice of quality without compromise. Here is what sets that market apart:
Just like with cars, Japanese motorcycles are treated with immense care. The riding season there is unique, and the maintenance culture is at the highest level. Finding a 20-year-old motorcycle with no corrosion, original paint, and shiny chrome is not an exception – it is the standard.
In Japan, a motorcycle is often a hobby rather than a means of transport. Average annual mileage is negligible compared to Europe. Machines from the 80s or 90s often have only a dozen thousand kilometers on the odometer.
Fun fact: Japan is one of the largest markets for Harley-Davidson and Ducati. The Japanese love Western brands and care for them fanatically. You can often buy limited editions of European and American motorcycles there cheaper and in better condition than in their countries of origin.
The Japanese market offers versions that never made it to Europe (e.g., 400cc versions of popular models, which are lighter and more agile) or iconic models that are no longer available here (e.g., the Honda CB series, Suzuki Katana, or limited edition Yamaha V-MAX).
