I thought that everyone might get a kick out of this - its a working replica of the bike in Akira.

sadly I think it falls under the age old motto of "If you have to ask you probly cant afford it" still I want one. I bet it Hauls ass to.

Sweet a** bike! If I came in town with that, heads would turn. The chain system looks complicated though, but looking how good it looks, it must go smoothly. Smile

Does anyone esle watch American Chopper (Discovery Channel) here? I'd like to see OCC take this on. Paul Sr. and Paulie would be fighting more than usual Cool .

Hum...they're more for the American-style Harley/Apache motorcycles, though. The kind you'd see a Hell's Angel member on. I don't think they'd go for the Kawasaki-ish lawnmower engine bikes like Kaneda's.
