Unveiling the 'BariBari Densetsu VR Ride'
From April 24 to July 5, 2026, Bikers Paradise Minami Hakone in Kan-nan Town, Shizuoka will host an interactive exhibition called the
'BariBari Densetsu VR Ride', organized by Bike King & Company. This initiative is driven by the company’s philosophy of breaking conventional norms to create new value and emotional experiences for riders.
The exhibition will showcase a real CB750F, the beloved motorcycle belonging to the protagonist of the iconic comic book series 'BariBari Densetsu'. Attendees will not only have the chance to see this legendary bike up close but also to ride it using the latest
2X Freedom VR Simulator developed by PROTOTYPE Inc. This state-of-the-art VR system allows participants to get an authentic riding experience that combines real-world motorcycle mechanics with immersive virtual reality.
The Experience
Riders will directly mount the replica CB750F, equipped with a camera and sensors that track throttle and brake inputs, translating those into stunning visuals on a monitor. This innovative setup blends physical sensations with digital experiences, allowing participants to fully immerse themselves in the world of 'BariBari Densetsu'. Beyond visual engagement, the exhibition aims to provide a tangible feel of what it’s like to ride the protagonist's bike throughout the scenic landscapes portrayed in the manga.
In addition to the thrilling riding experience, the exhibition will feature an
SNS campaign. Attendees are encouraged to document their experiences and share them on platforms like X (formerly Twitter) to stand a chance to win exclusive collaboration goods from 'BariBari Densetsu'.
