Bari Bari Densetsu (1987)

Gun Koma lives for motorcycles, but his confidence takes a hit when a gifted rider named Hideyoshi Hijiri beats him on the mountain roads of Okutama. Their rivalry becomes harder to escape when Hideyoshi transfers into Gun’s class.

Fellow rider Miyuki gives them a chance to test themselves at the Suzuka 4-hour endurance race, this time as partners rather than opponents. To compete on a real circuit, the two must turn their stubborn pride into teamwork and recognize the skill each has spent so much energy challenging. The road toward professional racing begins with learning to trust the person they most want to defeat.
