I Bought a 40’ Container of motorcycles from Japan

5:46 "The reason we're able to import these is because they're over 25 years old" - My mind instinctively thought of the late 80s. Then suddenly it hit me like a wrecking ball, _no, that basically means the year 2000._ As soon as that thought hit me I felt about 100 years old.

This may be the Best upload ever for this channel. There's a year's worth of content here and I'm glued to my seat ready to go...

As a truck driver you have to cut those locks off it's a one time use so yes you have to cut them off every time

This is the best unboxing video ever. Almost everything in that container was mega cool

I was a photographer for Japanese magazines in the 80’s and 90’s. The Japanese like to use American words in their products. For example these are some names of Japanese magazines that are only sold in Japan. Tarazan, Seven Seas, Olive, Popeye. I am living in Los Angeles and back in the 80’s and 90’s they were fascinated with the on goings in Los Angeles ranging from fashion, products and sports. When I was 13 in 1970 I bought a used 1968 yellow/white Honda Mini Trail Z50A from my friend from mowing lawns for the whole summer and I paid $100 for the Mini Trail. I still have that bike today along with a perfectly restored 1969 Honda CL350 Scrambler in orange/white. I just love old Honda bikes.

The problem with buying bikes from Japan is that they are right hand drive.🤣🤣

The Japanese 50cc bikes are so popular here in Japan because if you have a car license you can ride them without having to get a motorcycle license.
Lots of cool stuff!
Cheers from Tokyo!

My late husband had an 86 or 87 FZR 1000, that first YSR 80 sure reminded me of his FZR. He would have loved this unpack. He owned quite a few bikes in the 80’s…. Then he got married, bought a house, and moved on to ATV’s….

Some info on that boso bike for you guys.
1) the seat says カワグチ (Kawaguchi) on it. They are a famous seat maker in Japan.
2) The Yoshimura gauge is usually used to monitor the engine temperature because calling the bike (the Japanese revving thing) makes it hotter than f***
3)it’s maybe the 20th or so bike of its kind in the states.

Let me know if you wanna know more about it!

I worked for Land Rover from the '80s through the '00s. We would bring test vehicles to Canada for cold weather testing and to the US (Death Valley) for hot weather testing. When we had a Land Rover on test with a right-hand-drive steering wheel, we'd take a steering wheel like you did. Making left turns at an intersection, the left-seat occupant would roll the window down, hold the spare steering wheel out the window with both hands, and "steer" the Land Rover through the turn at the intersection. The number of times that drivers or passengers in other cars would just sit there with their mouths open watching this would just be amazing. Of course, everyone in the Land Rover would be sitting in their seat totally deadpan, acting like nothing unusual was happening. Big fun.

Hey Sean, I don't know if you will see this, but I wanted to say thanks to you, at the grand old age of 46 I finally did my Motorcycle license over here in the UK. After watching tons of old SRK cycle videos I finally opted for an XVS-650. Well that was a year ago and it's proven to be the best thing I ever did. Even took my fiancée to the sea side (a five and a half hour round trip) which was one of her first long rides. She was pretty much against having a bike for years, but after that trip she loves it as much as me! (We did do lots of local short trips first just to get her use to being on the back and for me riding with a pillion passenger). So from both of us, thank you.

YouTube ads are getting wild or is it just me an unskippable add in the beginning and then another unskippable ad less than two minutes in

Growing up in South Africa, the only license you could get at the age of 16 was a 50cc. You can only get a car license at 18. I used to ride a Yamaha RZ50 that i customized with a full racing kit. A friend of mine had a TMZR . These were awesome bikes and super fast after we notified them.... Fast for a 16-year old. My career to about 15, 000 RPM 80 mph... Which is super fast for a 1980's 50cc

Mini busses are the bomb.
I had a Subaru E12 Libero, and it is the best ride I ever had or will have.
4WD, sliding doors on both sides, panoramic roof - where the front half of it could slide open, over the rear part - a turning radius about the size of the bus itself, and the show stopper: the front seats could swivel, and with the front bench folded down, you had a mini sitting room for 4 people!
It was so fun, and so cool to ride. You could also lay everything flat to create a 2 person bed. Oh, the good times we had with that bus… ❤

Shoutout to the teams dedication for getting everything out with so much patience. Especially seeing all the damage done. Also, there was no complaining about setting up & tearing down each time you had to take the trucks out. Got some good people around you.

14:00 “not only was he not dead, he was alive”
Well Yhea, that is typically how that works 😂

[skk]

as a japanese, i love this video. :3
also Japan in the 1980~now Is obsessed with English because it is badass. it's like Americans love Kanjis. I hate Kanji. like Japan LOOOOVES American culture but doesn't understand it that much. Just like American anime fans thinking Japan a utopia just like in the animes.

I used to see those bosozoku bikes in japan.

i wish you find a video of bosozoku people playing music with the engine sounds. its called "call" they rev the cars to make songs

the car body part was probably 車体(shatai) so just a word for body for basically most of vehicles. 車(kuruma/sha)is a category of vehicles including cars, trucks, and bikes. but its usually used for cars, so the translation probably said car body transating 車(car)体(body) not 車体(body).

that flare always annoy me, in my 370z its also in the passenger side feet and it falls all the time and it just moves between my legs.

I wanna go to the US, I never went to America in my life.

[edwardtiangco]

Hands down the bestest unboxing video ever! Can't wait till you get all of'em running. All the best Sean

[TGWazoo]

I’m liking your channel because the off-beat and obscure bikes you acquire. The humor is a plus as well.

Just came back from Japan. Those two miniature vehicles are everywhere. I drove a tiny Toyota 8 hrs the first day then 8 other days of tiny, right hand driving after. What a blast
