Proving once and for all that the Japanese are cooler than us, a fully-functional recreation of Kaneda’s motorcycle was unveiled at the Tokyo Motorcycle Show.
Red bikes go faster.
Adding insult to injury, they even made a leet red ‘capsule’ motorcycle jacket to go with the bike. Please try not to die drooling.
I saw it last night and nearly shit.
a portion of my childhood dreams now exist.
I’d rather a Light-Cycle.
GO TRON!
Red bikes go faster.
I’m sure that’s why Ducatis tend to come in red…
with that huge wheelbase, I’m sure it handles like a dream!
and that double chain system will be fun and easy to maintain the tension on. :-)
TETSUUUUUOOOOOOO!!!
There are going to be soooo many Japanese guys with that Bike in a year, it will be sick… way more than Honda Civics! And the coat… I would kill for the coat!
Get a bike jai :P
Sorta neat, i’m suprised they didn’t go for a “hinged” system like in the movie (to get in).. and make it electrical… nice sporty looking thing, but its definatly a “cruiser”.. .. maybe sport-touring :)
