How did you feel the first time you rode with friends after pandemic lockdowns lifted? Intense, right? While it’s been a weird and difficult time for most people, there’s also something to be said for the heightened joy you might feel at finally getting back to doing something fun. Group motorcycle rides with just a handful of people are ideal, because you’re safely spaced apart—but you’re still together. That’s also where good Bluetooth communications systems can help—not necessary, but certainly nice to have.
This is the spirit in which Yamaha recruited four riders to come take a relaxing 2,000-kilometer tour (just under 1,243 mile) on its bikes in Japan, visiting a number of important Yamaha historical sites along the way. It was low-key and laid back, with the riders taking everything at the leisurely pace of about 55 mph so they could take in all the beautiful scenery.
