Car & Bike

1. Car

Big motor companies are Toyota, Nissan and Honda. Toyota is famous over the world. Honda is famous in America.
In Japan, very small car is also favorite because of the economical reason. Famous small car companies are Suzuki and Daihatsu. I was surprised that, in Switzerland, there were a lot of mini 4WD cars made in Japan.
The features of Japanese car are good fuel-efficient, hard to break down and hard to rust, etc. And if without high tariff, the price is not expensive.
At Japan, Mercedes-Benz and BMW are status symbols. Very expensive! I can't get these cars made in Germany. Personally I like Honda's car. Now I own Step Wagon made by Honda.

2. Bike (Motorcycle)

Motorcycle maker in Japan are Honda, Yamaha, Kawasaki and Suzuki. Many kinds of bike from mini-bike (50cc) to over 1000cc, are produced and exported.
Though the numbers of riders have decreased in Japan, how about your country?
I have owned six bikes in my life.

• The first was small sport type (50cc ) made by Honda (CB 50). (19 years old)
  
• The second was the big-single bike (400cc) made by Yamaha (SR 400). (22~26 years old)
  
• The third was two-stroke bike made by Yamaha (RZ 350). (28~32? years old)
  
• The fourth was the motor scooter (100cc) made by Suzuki (Address 100). (36~38 years old)
  
• The fifth was the sports-type bike (250cc 4 cylinder engine) made by Suzuki (Across 250). (38~49 years old)
  
• Now I own the big single SR400 (Yamaha) again. (49 years old ~)
