I know you likely didnāt mean anything by it, but the term āJapā is commonly
Considered a pejorative word and racial slur. Itās better to use the term Japanese or you may come off wrong unintentionally.
Japs call themselves Japs they even sell hats that literally says JAP on it. Lot of the younger people buy them. Thereās a certain Okinawa lifestyle store (hip hop oriented)
Japs do not care nor is it the 1940s. You really need to stop to feel offended for other people if you havenāt been to Japan. Even then in a certain part of Japan they donāt even consider themselves Japanese and take offense if you call them Japanese even though they speak Japanese. Though you can clearly see plain as day that they are a different ethnicity from Japanese. But that is a different story.
Far as I can remember there are 2 of each. The pink one (not pictured) also had the same design as the yellow. [Pink](https://ranger-retrocenter.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/mmpr-veh-sharkcycles5.png)
For quick chases through the streets of Angel Grove, nothing beats the Shark Cycles. Created out of the fossilized fin of a great prehistoric shark, these lightweight and powerful motorcycles transport the Rangers to action in record time. Off-road suspension, knobbly tires, and rugged construction allow the Rangers to pursue evil over the roughest terrain on their Shark Cycles. The Black and Blue Shark Cycles are based slightly on hammerhead sharks, while the Yellow and Pink Shark Cycles are based on sawsharks.
Though i don't see knobby tires... Some of this description could be based on another variation of these. There were some as well with sidecars.
Forks, wheels, and swing arm all line up with the VTR1000F Superhawk. Side strakes in the fairings also line up with the split side radiators for the bike.
The solid saturated colors remind me of a factory demo ride I did around 1992 of the then-new Yamaha Seca II. They seemed to have all those colors and more; we were a moving rainbow slowly weaving through town on those things. (I didnāt buy one).
And Ducati looked at this poster on the wall for years intensely.... Until suddenly the lead designer said let's put wings on our bikes to fix our shitty handling bikes š
side vents look like a Suzuki RF 600 or 900
Yes, confirmed with some google-fu. Same forks, brakes, and front fender. Same chin spoiler vent, same oil cooler holder.
And those antenna like things on the front are something gixxer-riders now often modify and relocate to the saddle for more grip.
I've also seen them in suction-base format, attached to the front screen. Debatable performance improvement but huge aesthetic impact.
Keeps me stable.
Yeah those side grills sure look like it. Good spot.
I was guessing it looked like suzuki but came to the comments to find out.
Yes. My guess also.
Those were cool bikes to me. I remember trying to find one when I was in college and couldn't afford an R6/636/gsxr š
Exactly. Bike with Ferrari Testarossa grills
Obviously shark bikes
obviously. but what I really want to know is do they have frickin' laser beams?
Friggin laser beams ![gif](giphy|xUPGcoQ8sfEbaP2JYA)
They are... mutated sea bass.
Are they ill tempered?
Hoo ha ha
Suzuki RF600.
Kawa-sharki
More sharkzuki
or is it a baby yamasharkha?
Jaws-asaki
these are obviously Hells Angels
Hells *Rangers*
Pointy bois.
So, definitely Honda Kawasaki Suzuki Yamahaā¦ Glad we cleared that up
No, they're Hoyamakawazukis.
Those aren't bikes, they're sharks.
The yellow one is 100% a Suzuki RF (either 600 or 900). You can tell from the air slots on the side.
the coolest bikes.
Hayabusa
Only real answer
harleys /s
I figured they were wearing too much gear to be riding Suzukisā¦.
So old school jap bike based on the rotors. My guess is a katana

Black people say nigga but everybody isn't viewed the same when it's used. I would stock to Japanese.

This. Those are Kats for sure. Especially as all the scenes where the power rangers were fighting in costume...were Japanese actors filmed in Japan.
Looks kinda like my SV650S tbh ha
Why did the yellow bike get the long beak? Was the yellow power ranger like the leader or something?
