Actual Kaneda Motorcycle from Akira Movie

[nixgeek]

While browsing on the Internet, I notice this on Slashdot. A real live working model of the motorcycle that Kaneda had in Akira.

Here's a link to the manufacturer's site.
And here's a link to a Japanese mirror with pictures.

Here's a link to another moto-proto from Dodge....go figure...

I must ask though.....THAT THING GOT A HEMI?!?!?!

kanedas bike is sweet. totally sweet. a lot of plastic but who cares. you would be the envy of Tokyo riding aound on that. you could drink for free all night.

the kaneda-wear doesn't look anywhere nearly as good live, and I imagine it would look even weirder on an actual person. But the slogan with the pill on the back is awesome. true to the film.

the ugly american style bulkocycle from dodge is a clunker. maybe my 52 year old dad will like it.
