HKS Livery Honda RVF400

Motorcycle street racing in America usually means highway top speed runs or “drag racing” other riders. In Japan, it means riding up and down touges (mountain roads) like it’s a race course!

Before the HKS livery, it was all black. Looking sleek, the livery really added something flashy! You can see more photos of before livery in the “More Photos” section below. He says the HKS livery is about 4 years old now and it has some road rash. But you can’t deny it looks amazing.

The best way to become a better rider, seat time, is getting comfortable with your motorcycle! What better way to do that by not only riding around town but knee dragging up tight curvy roads! The motorcycle scene in Japan is still live and well! If anything, it may be more popular than the old days. And just like the JDM car scene, modifying bikes like the 90s and 2000s, including overshirts with team designs on them, is very popular!
