A Japanese wireless has built this literal - life version of Akira ’s motorcycle on top of a Honda Bick scooter . I start the picture that a company might be sell a outfit you could buy to do this yourself in the future , but I could be wrong . They ’ve got about another 14 year to pull it together .
The bike of the ? ? ? ” the AKIRA ? ? is and makes stipulation ” the part[ITMedia viaAkihabaraNews ]
Update : Brad Douglas has all the details after the saltation . It looks like there is , in fact , a outfit .
I just think you ’d like a little more info about that story . According to the ITMedia clause , it ’s based off of the Honda Fusion ( http://www.honda.co.jp/motor-lineup/fusion/index.html ) . There ’s two ( well , three ) types for sale . A new Fusion , pre - modded will scarper you around Y1,155,000 ( that ’s in “ Fighting Red ” colouration ) . One that is paint to take care more like the real ( ? ) matter is ring Kaneda Red and that will run you Y1,470,000 . If you already have a Fusion and you just need the body kit , the bolt - on outfit will run you Y630,000 .
This is all put together by Saitaniya , a custom parts maker out of Osaka . They ’ve been working on this for over a yr , try on to get a kit that would be light to put together and also not be an arm and a leg . They say that if you may exchange your own muffler , then you may assemble the kit .
The other thing is that they have n’t gotten any kind of fine from Kodansha , the publisher than have the rights to AKIRA . accord to a guy from the customs duty part maker , “ We have n’t utter to anyone from Kodansha . If you calculate closely , you’re able to tell , but this is n’t the “ Kaneda Special ” . It ’s nothing more than a custom parts to make your Fusion see “ Akira - esque ” . If we get the OK from Kodansha , we plan to get more detailed and that ’s what we ’re currently working towards . ”
