[Me and Honda] #0023 Julie’s First Bike | バイクに憧れ続けたパリジェンヌの ファースト・バイクはCBR500R

“From as far back as I can remember, I have always loved motorbikes.”

Julie, a Parisienne, has secretly longed for a bike ever since she was a child. However, nobody in her family ever rode a bike and she had no opportunity to indulge her passion. She would glance at bikes travelling the city streets and feel they only existed in some distant place. “For me, bikes were an alien world.” While yearning for a bike of her own, Julie grew up, eventually graduating from a celebrated design school in Paris

Thanks to Guillaume, a bike rider she started seeing four years ago, Julie has at long last started wearing a motocycle jacket. She made the decision to get her motorcycle license and chose a CBR500R as her first bike.




“I definitely knew I wanted a CBR500R as they have a reputation as safe and reliable! They also look so beautiful!”

Julie has finally saved up some money and is planning a bike trip across Europe with Guillaume…

「ずっと前から、バイクっていいなって思っていたの」
パリジェンヌのジュリーは、幼い頃から秘かにバイクに憧れていた。でも、身内にバイク乗りはゼロで、バイクとの接点、皆無。道行くバイクを横目でチラチラ眺め、遠い存在にも感じていた。「きっと私には縁のない世界なんだわ」。そうしてバイクに焦がれながら、世界で最も優秀なデザイン学校の一つであるパリの学校を卒業するまでに成長した。
そんな彼女がついに革ジャンを纏ったのは、4年前に付き合いだしたバイク乗りのギヨームのお陰。思い切って免許をとり、人生最初のバイクにはHondaのCBR500Rを選んだ。
「安全で信頼性が高いから、絶対にこれが欲しかったの！　それにとっても美しいし」
彼女はお金を貯めて、ギヨームとのヨーロッパ横断バイク旅行を計画中、らしい。
