Japanese White-Bikes Doesn't Mean Only About Color

In Japan, the ordinary name of these Motorcycles in the photos above are "Shiro-Bai (White-Bikes)". Yes, they are policemen's motorcycles. Since the bikes are painted pure white color, people started to call the motorcycle policemen troopers "Shiro-Bai Tai (White-Bikes Troopers).

The photos are taken in Tokyo, but the style of the bikes are same in all over Japan. Therefore when you hear somebody say "Oh, there is a White Bike!" in Japanese, it means "Oh(or oops), There is a motorcycle policeman!". So please be careful, cars and bikes around you might slow down suddenly!
