Nice bike! I remember JCI. I lived in Misawa for a couple of years. it was cold and snowy a good amount of time but there loads of beautiful places to ride, although I didn't have my bike there with me at that time. Which Island are you on? Good Luck with JCI. If you are in Misawa I know a guy who can help you get your JCI done without any worries.

Hi John,
Ha! I lived in West Kobe, just down the road from the Akashi Kawasaki factory for almost 20 years, rode bikes every day and never ever saw a Drifter! I would have brought one home with me. I'm loving my 1500.
Welcome aboard.
Good luck with the JCI Sharken.

Do you see many of the min-Drifters there? I think they have a 400cc motor?
