Honda builds special 'Kumamon' scooter

Bike honours the black bear mascot from the Kumamoto prefecture in Japan. Of course it does

JAPAN IS an amazing place. But it's fair to say it's fairly 'out there' at times. This, for example, is the latest in a series of special Honda models built to celebrate the Kumamon - a giant black bear which is the mascot for the Kumamoto region in Kyushu, southern Japan. They've made a Monkey version and a Giorno scooter previously - so this latest Super Cub version should come as no surprise.

We're trying to think of a British parallel here. Maybe Triumph making a special version of a Bobber in honour of Filbert Fox, the Leicester City FC mascot? Hmmm. Enjoy the video...
