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?

I too would like to know where the site is that we can purchase this kit.

I was wondering if anyone heard any more recent information on if you can buy this motorcycle. I think its a sweet bike and would love to own one.

how and where do i get one in the us

Looks like a real bike. Saw an ad for another one built by some quack named Eddie Paul. That thing didn't even run.

Lets see you build one hot shot. BTW it did run but
Eddie Paul

I'll build circles around you. And no it didnt. Liar.

How may i get this bike and were to by it from?

Who cares!!! Its a 10 year old jap cartoon. What kinda idiot wants to own or buy this stupid bike?

dude actually the movie is 20 years old, but the concept of the bike itself is awesome if it went as fast or was as durable as concept it'd be awesome I'd go to WCC for mine if I had the money.

this thought of actually owning one of these things makes me shed a tear...

That Akira bike built by EDDIE PAUL is a piece of garbage. Just like everything else that meathead builds.
