There’s a lot of interesting machinery on Tokyo roads. You can see a lot of different vehicles from customized kei van to a majestic Toyota Century. But you will see sensible cars and motorcycles the most.

All the companies are selling Seven replicas and kits, fabricating wizards knocking together their own in fetid garages around the world.
