#7. Travel



“Japan has something for every rider and has been described by some as “motorcycle heaven”. In Japan you can get to see glimpses of the future of bikes and ride through the futuristic city of Tokyo. You can indulge yourself by riding on long bridges, The Great Seto Bridge in Shikoku at 13.1 kilometres long or ride long road tunnels like the 11 kilometre Kanetsu tunnel south bound lane in Niigata Prefecture. Whatever type of riding you like, you are sure to find it in Japan. “
