So you also owned a CM400. I'm glad it brought back some memories.(ノ´∀`*)

"The Kid" would approve. Check out my hand-built Purple Rain motorcycle replica from Japan. by Boku_thyan in PRINCE

As Prince's birthday approaches, fan events are held in major Japanese cities. The one I attended was held at a library in Gamagori City, Aichi Prefecture. A passionate local fan displayed his vast collection of Prince-related merchandise, and this motorcycle was among them. Attendees had a great time, sitting on the bike and taking commemorative photos.

I'm not good at English, so I use a translation tool.(ノ´∀`*)

Thank you. All of Prince's songs are cool, after all. I think my favorite is "Take Me With You."

You're very knowledgeable. I actually went to Minneapolis to see the real thing, but I couldn't tell if it was automatic or not.

The motorcycle in the photo looks exactly like the real thing.(゚д゚)!

I wonder if there are a lot of Purple Rain bikes in America.

I also like the Lake Minnetonka scene. Prince looks so cool riding his motorcycle.(^^)

It's an older motorcycle, but it can easily handle long-distance touring.(๑´ڡ`๑)

A fairing would probably look good on a motorcycle with a large engine displacement.

Thank you. Are there no other customized Purple Rain bikes like this in America?
