Yamaha Bikes in BosoZoku Style
Accidentally I've found this kind of style when i'm looking for Girl Bikers Photo then i Saw one picture which really unique of girl Riding a bike with unusual bike. i used to take some researches of that style, and i think that this Bosozoku style is cool though. seems like combination of typical motorcycle with high handlebars like bobber or chopper and also the unique fairing that i never seen before. Do people in Japan get inspired by Batman and his Batcycle?
Batcycle is a Yamaha Bike too, it's appear in 1960's Batman Film. and that's actually a Yamaha YDS3 Catalina.
I'm googling for the sake of looking more Bosozoku bikes, but that i mostly found is not many Yamaha bikes which customized into this style. i saw so many Suzuki, Kawasaki and Honda. but finally i found some that now i'd like to Share With you.
