i didn't know where this should go, but now it seems they're making motorcycles like the ones in akira (even with the high horsepower!) http://www.allpar.com/cars/concepts/tomahawk.html[/url]

yea i think this is in the right board ... but i can see those motor cycles as bein jsut like the pontiac aztek. they look great on teh show room floors but when yous ee them on the road you jsut can't help yourself ... and submit to the urge to call thsoe peopel idiots ... but it's still nice to look at ... as long as it stays in the show room ...

That's not a motorcycle--it's a frickin' Viper engine with wheels strapped to it!

It's a nice piece of aesthetic minimalism, but it still can't hold a candle to Akira's mtorcycles.

I don't know if you are being sarcastic or what, but it's not being made in image to Akira... Just incase you were being serious.

That motorcycle does rock the casba, indeed it does. But a candle to the bikes of Akira it cannot hold.

What's neat about the Akira motorcycles is that they use the electromotive force rather than chains or gears for turning the wheels. The idea is that the engine on board is used to create electricity that runs the magnetic coils in the front and rear wheel well. This would allow for any amount of force to be applied to either wheel without being related to the amount of force on the other wheel. Also, with a computer controlling the switching on and off of current in each wheel well, extremelly high speeds could be reached. The biggest limiting factors would be the rider and the structural integrity of the wheel itself (don't want it flying to pieces).

theoretical 400 MPH. that thing would be sweet to ride.

Heh. Good luck.

I'd hook a nitro tank up to that sucker and race the cops to the state line.

A bottle of Nitrous on that thing would send you into orbit.

Stopping it would probably break your arms and pop your eyes out of their sockets.
