Kaneda's bike from Akira for sale

akirabike.jpgYes, that's right. While we were all daydreaming about how awesome we would be if we had a ride like Kaneda from the anime cult-classic Akira, the Japanese started an entire subculture of custom builders. We're not talking about full-scale models — that would be utter lameness. These folks are building and selling legitimate, licensed machines. Suddenly, we don't feel so cool anymore. We don't speak Japanese, but we're betting these replicas feature somewhat less than two ceramic rotor drives on each wheel.

how much is it. and if you have already sold how much did you sell?

they were being sold in 2006 as a kit. just the bike frame and motor. not the red shell. they were going for $21k (US) which is a ton, just for a frame and no body

so is there site where you can purchase this items?
