Japan - motorcycle - 50/100cc
If they imported this bike to the States I predict Honda would land 3 million sales in the first year. This is probably the best mini motorcycle on the market, anywhere. The Ape is the ultimate city buster - fully manual 5-speed, hyper fuel efficient (120mpg), slimline, full blown potholing suspension, park it anywhere and take it up the elevator to your apartment at night. For the beginner wanting to learn real motorcycle-riding techniques in a holistically enjoyable way (and relative safety...not too big, not too powerful) nothing beats it - all the right bits in the right places in a muscular little package. And for the advanced rider think of it as that wee stallion in your stable that gets you back in form and irons out all the sloppiness you’ve acquired at your desk during the day - guzzle down a cup o' high test joe on the way home and you'll be so buzzed & enamored by the time you walk through your door your partner will think you've been cheating!
