              The Panigale on the left has been subjected to strict Japanese noise emission norms, while the on the right is meant for the showcase here in Tokyo !

                I had read about this a long time back. The exhaust on the Japanese version looks so horrible. I am sure most buyers will immediately dispose of it. Thus rendering the law ineffective!

                  The Japan roadtrip would have been great on a Japanese bike. Even, MTS is good. Congratulations & Best of luck for the trip.

                    That is the radest thing I have ever seen which is not feeling out of place on a 'normal' city road. Had this 'thing' been somewhere else I would have seen it down! Tokyo is something!

                          Beautiful colour, a welcome change from the Red!!! The Strada looks sweet fully loaded with panniers, top box and all. Ready to roll!

                            All the best for the ride.

                            Do you plan to pass by Utsunomiya? I would like to drop in and say a "konncihiwa" if you guys stop by utsunomiya.

                            And by the way, do you know that police in tochigi prefecture have GT-Rs and NSXs? So, better dont overspeed! And do le me know how much the tolls cost. I'm guessing they will be around 250000 yen for 8000kms.

                            Arigatou,
