I’m on the record I think as NOT being a big fan of “Brat” styled bikes. I won’t get in to ALL the reasons (OK just a few – Flavor of the week styling exercise, Corker tires and no seat to speak of? seriously? gotta suck to ride) But I’m giving this one a pass because I think it’s more scrambler than brat and I bet it’d actually be a fairly fun smooth gravel rode ride. The parallel twin Kawi 750’s 400 don’t exactly have a stellar reputation but I do like the look.
This is the first that I’ve heard of “brat” styling. Where did that term come from and what does it mean?
Also, what are “corker” tires?
I always thought it was after the Japanese bike shop that popularised the style

The site is mainly in Japanese, thankfully the pictures aren’t! Corkers- Knobblies
It’s actually kz400 twin 🙂 building something like this over here now.

Go to wrench monkees site. It’s their bread and butter.
It obviously is a motorcycle that wishes it were a Yamaha 650 … !
Wouldn’t want to ride it on a long trip, but it does look pretty nice!
