 Bakuon is a comic and now an anime about motorbikes. Motorbikes are cool and you should like them. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eonZv3HDyA0  Published in Young Champion Retsu since 2011, Bakuon is a Seinen comic by Mimana Orimoto detailing the comedic exploits and misadventures of a wild bunch of high school girls who have access to incredibly dangerous speed machines. Bakuon is a series I like a lot, about the culture and the life you experience as a young person with few responsibilities and access to your own motorcycle. Mostly irrelevant and comedic in tone, it still manages to evoke nostalgia in people who were the same kind of rider, and teach people who don't know anything about bikes quite a bit by the end of it. It's worth checking out just for that. At its heart its just a comic about people who ride bikes that go fast and vroom vroom. These are the people:  Hane!! Hane wants to ride bike but can't not yet. She needs a license first.  Suzuki!! Suzuki likes Suzuki and thats why her name is Suzuki. She rides a Suzuki. Her dad rides a Suzuki. It's Suzuki all the way down!!  Onsa!! Onsa is cool and has cool hair. She has the coolest hair probably. She also knows the most about bikes and helps out at her family bike shop. Neat!  Hijiri!! Hijiri is full of rebellious spirit, but also money. You can totally have both. The nicest person in the comic. She's too young to ride. Coincidence?!  Who?! What? Wha!!! You probably aren't even gonna be in this run, go away!!  Raimu!! She's the leader of the bunch! She's really good! She's really old! How old? We just don't know. Bakuon is a cool comic with pretty high quality art that also has a good sense of comedic timing, which is pretty hard in comic form. It also has a strong cast of characters that play off eachothers personality quirks pretty well, and these are all of the reasons you should read it. It's unlicensed, so for the moment at least you can read it here: http://bato.to/comic/_/comics/bakuon-r10977 If you don't feel like reading though, now it's in anime form too and you can watch it on mondays here at crunchyroll: http://www.crunchyroll.com/bakuon This thread is for the fan translated comic, and I am going to fill it up with funny manga panels presently. Just remember that only idiots ever ride bikes, and you'll be fine. Sharkopath fucked around with this message at 00:32 on Apr 9, 2016 |

There's significantly less ultraviolence in bakuon world, or at least we aren't shown the full extent.

The shopping around part is some of the most fun yeah. At least have a riding style or even manufacturer down? How about engine size?

My friend went with a ninja and that's a great bike, was lots of fun to test although the sport posture took me some getting used to. Everything ive seen from Yamaha has been great bikes too, but they run a bit pricier in general.

Also the other side to everybody telling you fun stories about biking is that everybody else is going to be desperate to tell you the story about how their uncle had a bad accident.

Something I really hope they keep doing besides the comedy is the really grounded rider life stuff that showed the artist knew what he was writing about. The stuck in the wrong gear from a stop bit still being in there is promising, that's a super common experience for people who are new to riding and you feel like the silliest idiot every time you do it. The comic is full of small details like that besides just the manufacturer and bike culture injokes and it would be sad if they were lost.

If you watch and or read it you will learn quite a bit about bikes, it's pretty educational since the premise is an experienced person teaching somebody who knows nothing about bikes about the culture.
