If you get it well the luck in Japan, you must change the color to other color from red. It is illegal, to run in red condition and post office mark in Japan.

I see this Postman Mate well in the town. It is used collection and delivery of mail, insurance, savings works. It is said "Post Cub" by people. But, "Cub" is trademark of HONDA. It is thought that Mate is together, because the form resembles with the Cub. A lot of Mate are used really post office. I heard about "Birdie" that is made in SUZUKI used by some post offices. But, I have not looked it in the town......?

The Base of Postman Mate is Town Mate T90D. Postman Mate is changed career to exclusive use of post office. And, reflector is added to front career. The cover of Handlebar and leg are necessity at cold area. When it snows, Postman Mate turns out to snow town with snow tire.
