Bakuon!! Katana snobbery, even in Japan :-)
This made me laugh and for some reason think of JohnR... - The Katana the girl in pink has is a 400...

I have the whole series in MKV format. I'll have to upload to my Onedrive a paste a link to anyone else here can download it. It is quite funny and worth watching just for how another culture see bikes and how similar really they are! They do take the p*ss quite a bit.

Here is the Japanese manga model with and without the girl figure, it looks very detailed but is £120 in post brexit currency

Was waiting for JohnR to pipe up with '£120 ? that's more than a real one is worth!'

Pookie - there was a bit after those scenes where the 250 guys lust over the 400 
My birthday in April and the missus never knows what to get me so I found the model with the girl in Pink leathers for £55 in the States plus the postage made £70! Will have to get the series uploaded - at present it's about 6Gb in Full HD so may have to recode down to HD. Worth watching possibly on your own (as my misuses things I'm a little sad), but it's the bikes, honest.
Would upload an image but it's not letting me - have I hit some limit?
