Watch This Couple Find The Vintage Dual Sport Bikes Of Their Dreams, Then Find Yours

Motorcycle love is a language unto itself, and one that can frequently bridge the gaps between riders who might not necessarily share the same fluency in a common spoken language. And yet, at the same time, there's no denying that you'll generally have an easier time buying a used motorbike if you and the seller share a spoken language as well. 

Lucky for Ori and Kaito that they do, because they show us a few really cool things in this video. One is that you can absolutely fit two dual sport motorbikes in the bed of a Suzuki Carry kei truck; the only catch is, you have to take them one at a time, since each one can only fit in that bed diagonally and they won't fit side-by-side. Still, it's more than I might necessarily have expected, so yay for that?

The second thing is a rather lovely yellow early-1990s Suzuki DR250 with seat height control. You read that correctly; it was apparently a special Japanese-market option, and the way it worked is completely fascinating. There are no electronics involved; instead, it's all controlled by means of a little knob up front, where you can can adjust the oil level in the front fork and rear shock to raise or lower the seat height as needed. Pretty trick stuff for 1991!
