Anyone remember that anime film Akira? If this thing handles at least as good as a Gold wing, I'd go for it. Thats fuggin' slick!

akira ripped!
if they would have followed the original design and gave the real model a fatty back (and front) tire, it could have helped.
miss that flick.

Yeah, that's the first thing I thought when I saw that Suzuki. Somehow it's just not quite as cool though. More of a maxed out scooter.

It's too bad that's just a fiberglass mockup of Kaneda's bike.

Actually, my favorite bike from that flick was Yama's fully tubbed lowrider. I'll post a pic when I get home.

Those of you who aren't Anime Geeks just move along.

Akira is an anime classic along with Ghost in the shell, Cowboy Beebop, Vampire Hunter D, and Full Metal Alchemist.

Those doubts of my geekdom have now been retired.

I used to watch Battle of the Planets all the time! Time for the Firey Phoenix! Then there was Voltron...

A good one these days is Hellsing- if you can find it...

Got it. Including the Manga. Good stuff. The second Anime blows...

Try "Yukikaze" if you can find it. Or "Last Exile."

My Anime collection can beat up yours!
