Tiny Posted February 11, 2004 Posted February 11, 2004 This is crazy... Suzuki designed this prototype for a bike that might come into production. But it looks a lil like Kaneda's Bike. It be real cool if within a few years motorcycles would be like Kaneda's. heres a link to Suzuki Quote
jwinges Posted February 11, 2004 Posted February 11, 2004 It would be very easy to change that bike into kaneada's. Me WANT! too bad its made by Suzuki. Quote
Anubis Posted February 11, 2004 Posted February 11, 2004 I'm not even into motorcycles, but damn that is a sweet looking bike. Quote
glane21 Posted February 11, 2004 Posted February 11, 2004 You could easily dress that up as a Garland from MegaZone 23 as well. In the latest CycleWorld magazine, someone wrote in about the similarity between the Suzuki and the Akira bike. Quote
jwinges Posted February 12, 2004 Posted February 12, 2004 (edited) I'm a former harley owner and I even like this. To make into kaneada's bike: Remove engine and primary Add generator for engine Remove conventional wheels Add rail style wheels with big fat tires Add 4 50hp electric disk motors (don't forget to make them spark) Run wire from generator to motors Add an electronic transmission (not necessary though since it would be faster w/out it. Round off the fairing a little Ditch the passenger seat and chop the rear fender Paint it red Stitch a pill to your red moto jacket Go whoop on akira with laser.

MSW Posted February 12, 2004 Posted February 12, 2004 Suzuki designed this prototype for a bike that might come into production No they didn't! read that link you provided... This is NOT a prototype bike for production, isn't even ment to be... it's a concept bike, and just like concept cars that the auto industry spits out every year for thier industry shows, the larger motorcycle companies do the same ... it is very unlikely that this bike will ever see production, so don't get your hopes up ... Some images of other concept bikes can be found here: http://www.bikemenu.com/photosconcept.html Quote
isamu_dyson Posted February 12, 2004 Posted February 12, 2004 some of them run into prod, for exemple: BMW Quote
mark-1s Posted February 12, 2004 Posted February 12, 2004 Looks a little too relaxed for me. I'll keep my RR thanks -1s. Quote

JB0 Posted February 13, 2004 Posted February 13, 2004 DAMMIT! The headlight makes me think of something, but I can't figure out what! Quote
Isamu Atreides 86 Posted February 13, 2004 Posted February 13, 2004 DAMMIT! The headlight makes me think of something, but I can't figure out what! kinda looks like a Patlabor Ingram head to me.... Quote
Commander McBride Posted February 13, 2004 Posted February 13, 2004 (edited) DAMMIT! The headlight makes me think of something, but I can't figure out what! Armored core. For some reason, also the SV-51. Edited February 13, 2004 by Commander McBride Quote
JB0 Posted February 13, 2004 Posted February 13, 2004 Maybe Patlabor, I DID see that once. ... Looked some pics up, 'S not it. I've never played Armored Core, that can't be it. I think the SV-51 is it. The windshield gives it the right head shape. Thanks, Quote
Chowser Posted February 14, 2004 Posted February 14, 2004 anyone know anything about this? http://www.hlj.com/cgi-perl/hljpage.cgi?BAN922945 Quote
JB0 Posted February 14, 2004 Posted February 14, 2004 anyone know anything about this?http://www.hlj.com/cgi-perl/hljpage.cgi?BAN922945 Well, it's from Akira, and appears to be red... That's about all I know. Quote
Chowser Posted February 14, 2004 Posted February 14, 2004 it's supposed to be 1/12 scale, anyone know the scale for the McFarlane bike? I bought the McFarlane bike and Kaneda figure for my son, and was just wondering if this one from Bandai will be super detailed and will the Kaneda figure be articulated or not. Quote
