Kijima's demo bikes based on the GB350C and MEGURO S1 debuted under the "Timeless Retro" theme at the spring 2024 motorcycle show. Over the past year, the parts fitted to them have steadily gone into production, and both bikes appeared again at the 2026 Tokyo Motorcycle Show. The retro custom builds combine classic looks with functionality suited to modern city riding.

I love how they bring in that '60s atmosphere without killing the functionality. Retro can end up feeling fake if it's just about the looks, but Kijima's parts carry the makers' real aesthetic sense. Both the GB350C and the MEGURO suit their own respective stories.

Is the Meguro S1 basically a sibling model to the GB350C?

It says it incorporates modern functionality, but I'd want to see the actual bike to judge the balance with the looks.

Feels like other custom parts makers are about to get serious about the retro direction too.

The more parts there are, buying the whole set is going to add up in cost.

Kijima's parts really suit the retro direction of the GB350C and Meguro S1.

Great to see the pipeline from demo bike to production parts still going strong.

Taking 2 years to bring it to market shows they've put real time into development.
