Anybody know the address of a Suzuki plant in the Tokyo area? I thought it would be fun to visit.
Or Honda or Kawaski for that matter :)

OK... I checked their home page.
HQ is
300 Takatsuka (might be called Takazuka)
Hamamatsu, Shizuoka 432-8611
** From Tokyo, it takes about 2 hrs to get there by an express train
Tokyo branch is
Suzuki Building Higashi-Shinbashi
2-2-8 Higashi-Shinbashi
Minato-ku, Tokyo 105-0021 (but I do not think they have a factory here.)
Here is the website (but in Japanese of course)

Thank you very much. I'll have to check the map and see how close I might be; I'll be in a suburb of Tokyo. I've got a slow day next week :)

My pleasure!!
Oh, sorry... HQ is ...
takes less than 2 hrs from Tokyo by an express train.
Do you have a plan to go to any motorcycle accessory shops??
I am sure that you will have fun in Japan!!!!!!! :thumb:
I just turned my email/network on last night :)
So far, it is all meetings. I may have some time Friday night or Saturday before I come home, hopefully.
I did learn from a transplanted American on the train that the Japanese licensing requirements are very difficult. He has a license for 400cc bikes, but he said it is very difficult to be licensed for the "big" motorcycles (I assume he means a liter or so). He knows people who have taken the test 7 or 8 times and still failed.
This sounds like it might be even more difficult than in Europe. I think the US should pass some kind of graduated licensing law as well; it is too easy to make mistakes and more power just exacerbates the problem.
