There's no doubt that North America has it's unique motorcycle culture, with a lot of different subcultures within its' ranks, but there are plenty of places in the world where motorcycles rule and we're not the only country that loves bikes.
The word Bosozoku supposedly means running out of control (or could be translated to 'Violent Run Tribe" ) and is used to describe a certain type of motorcyclist in Japan. While some of the first Bosozoku started back in the 1950's and were pretty much a bunch of bad-asses ripping around on their bikes, this motorcycle subculture is generally considered a youth movement in this day and age.
You can get the gist of the style just by looking at the photos, and also get a sense that there are a lot of women who are getting into the bike scene. I can't say the bikes, the aesthetics or the stylings and accessories, appeal to me but I'm not going to be judgy either. Just get out and ride that machine!
