In Japan three wheels motorbikes are pretty popular. There are also many “big” bikes, but you can’t see many little “scooters”. I’m used to Europe where “scooters” rule the big cities. I suppose the main reason is users who would have a “scooter” in Europe they have a bicycle in Japan. There are many many bicycles here.
Some typical three wheeled motorbikes you can see in Japanese cities.

These are all Honda Gyro or Gyro Canopy 50cc machines.

I see, didn’t know Honda made them. They should export them.
If you would like to spot a rare Honda in Japan, keep your eye out for the Motocompo.

It was designed to fit in the back of a compact Honda car!
In France we have Piaggio… (scooter brand) and they have in her collection the MP3 (not music MP3) but a scooter.
