Drum brakes, but for ABS reasons rather than performance. He skids his drum to prove it.

16" rims, with which bias ply tires are mentioned as part of the appeal

That's all you got close

Most new bikes over here in SEA either don't come with ABS at all, or is an expensive addition lol.

Drum brakes suck btw, they can get fluid in them and you can't easily check if they're about to fail like a disc.

Also you can get you a brand new current MY Honda Dream with… still drum brakes
