The 3-wheel concept bike Kawasaki presented at the 43rd Tokyo Motor Show has turned more than a few heads with its unabashedly ultra-futuristic design, perhaps making for yet another prophecy come true for Akira…
Amongst Japanese the design has proven rather popular despite some lingering doubts about its practicality:
“As cool as the bike in Akira.”
“Straight out of Tiger & Bunny!”
“Pure Kamen Rider.”
“Rather Tron.”
“Looks awfully hard to steer.”
“So is this a bike or a car?”
“Too cool, does look like an anime tie-up though.”
“Too embarrassing to ride!”
“I’d buy one.”
“Imagine riding this around at the Tokyo Olympics…”
“Not many people could pull off riding something like this though.”
“It would certainly suit Miku.”
“What would you wear riding something like that!”
“What is the point of three wheels?”
“You don’t need a bike license?”
“I want to know if a concept model like this actually runs, or if it is just a huge mock-up.”
“So cool, but I’d feel like I was putting my life in my hands riding it.”
“Looks a little too futuristic for its own good really.”

I shit you not.
Metal Max 4 (3DS). Your sister's a freaking motorbike.
Xbone720p'd.
But can we play card games on it?
dass du ihn abermals belogen hast vonwegen du lässt ihn gewinnen also anders formuliert, die freude des geldes spüren zu lassen, hat sich mein mandant entschieden sich aus dem prozess " mitleid für maddness" zu entfernen und seinen eigenen weg einzuschlagen.
jegliche art von pedophilie kann somit nicht akzeptiert werden da familien gefühle zerstört wurden.
wenn mein mandant keine chance auf einkommen hat dann gibt er generell keine antwort... ausser es würde hoffnung auf geld oder ähnlichem bestehen
Xbone180'd.
dass du neidisch darauf bist ist meinen mandanten egal.
er hat noch nie die freude des geldes gespürt...
die freude.... des geldes.....
the happiness of money
jegliche erinnerungen an bekanntschaften japanischen ursprunges wurden gelöscht

Although this bike has my Thumbs Up it will never be made in production :(
i want it , but that one comment has a good point.
what would you wear riding it.? what attire would look cool enough to match the bike.
I think you should be more worrying about when you highside with that thing rather than the attire...
Looks to be powered by Dyson Cyclone technology.
made me lol
Reminds me of the lightcycles from TRON.
*smirks* "Does it come in black?"
Made with imported parts from China. :D
i doubt that xD
ah you deleted the comment about nationality... i see... its still funny... guess i have to leave this site.
you sure its not austria? xD
cool

FUCKING BAD ASS! That's all that I can say about this.
No one has mentioned that it looks a lot like something for a Racing Drone from Acceleracers?
I need this... Badly...
Seems like an answer to the Yamaha Tesseract...

Though the Yamaha looks better than this one. Kawasakis should be green+black.
Does it work?
TETSUOOOOOOOO!!!
looks like shit
That's what your dad said about you.
Americanize it a bit and it will totally sell.
Make it a co-op project to americanize it with Harley Davison.
ie BIG BIG TERRAIN GRABBIN WHEELS
BIG BIG BIG EXHAUST
REV REV REV REVS
LOTS OF RUGGED METALS AND MACHISMO
ROCK AND ROLL
No exhaust, it is electric. Probably have some insane acceleration.
no thanks.
If there's one thing Americans do well is making manly vehicles. Refinement can suck it. Every European or Asian starts salivating for a burger and itching for a Colt 1911 every time they hear that glorious American exhaust note.
Say what?

Yeah, we have a car that sounds like that in America, and a well-off plumber can easily afford it unlike your exclusive Italian machine.

That's true only for the older models, the newer harleys are just overpriced garbage...
Not really
What about no?
Didn't Harley already make something similar? Might be wrong but I have a feeling there already was an akira-esque bike years ago.
By 'Americanize' I assume you mean reinforce the suspensions and frame, in addition to making the seat wider?
mein mandant sitzt deswegen auf einen chef sessel weil er wide ist
aber nur deswegen
