    I'm so glad that Aoki-san toyed with Guy. Would've been a bit dull if he'd have left him for dust! Clear show of respect on display by both.

    Guy's definitely taken on board the Japanese etiquette briefing that he's been given. Just a little thing, but notice how he hands over his gift to Aoki-san at the end, presenting it with both hands - very respectful. Way to go, Guy!

      Agree...except for his bow.
      Aoki-San bowed very low, head down, and held his position... while Guy initially went partially and abruptly...lower and longer is respect and honor...

      You know that "Japanese geezer" is a 2-time 125cc World Champion, right? He could destroy Guy Martin on a SBK even today. Haruchika was just born in the wrong era as he was given God-awful bikes for 250cc (non-factory Honda) and 500cc (TSR-Honda). I always said he was the fastest Aoki, even better than Suzuki factory rider Nobuatsu or HRC rider Takuma, but they never gave him a chance.

      Why did they never give him a good bike for 250cc or 500cc? Imagine the career of almost any present-day MotoGp rider had they been given a piece of shit for 250cc/Moto2... SO UNFAIR!!!

      The Fireball Brothers! In 1995 all three Aoki brothers had a dream weekend and earned spots on the Grand Prix podium at the world level during the Japanese GP at Suzuka. Takuma Aoki in 500GP (now called MotoGP), Nobuatsu in 250GP and Haruchika in 125GP. Had no idea that Haru was now racing bikes like this.

      @@DiegoRuiz1991 No disrespect meant, but many Asian riders are simply not strong enough to ride a MotoGP for an hour, same as for higher level Formula cars, and obviously F1.
      This is proven fact, not myth or racist, and why they often do so well in the rain where talent and feel over strength and endurance is required.

    I've seen this Japanese racer before. He's like some sort of large, stiff monstrous freak compared to the competition.
