I don't understand why someone like Hot Toys/Sideshow hasn't picked this up as a concept for an actual 1/6 collectable. With their budget and R&D assets, this is 100% doable and would be a license to basically print money.
@@killingfields6599 Nothing wrong with DCT.. but for me, I just like revv-matching my downshifts too much😁 edit: Nice Jeanetta Jones avi 😉 I know that forecast anywhere!
The Bike in Akira was powered by Electric with Incredible amount of Electricity. Static electricity was Amping so much you could see the electrical discharge.
I don't think it was actually electric. Tetsuo actually mentioned the bike uses an electronic braking system along with an advanced computer while he was fiddling with the controls. If it has electric motors, it would mean its a Hybrid of some kind that combines ICE motor with an electric drive to further boost it.
Oh HELL YES! I'd love that! What makes it better is that it's got a "Boxer" Engine as well! I can see it working as Kaneda's bike was implied to have been an All-Wheel Drive bike!
It's built around the Ducati Diavel, so not a boxer engine. If you Google Yanko Design - the concept is called Akira&Ducati, and it's designed by James Qui.
@@djmarsone5209 Yep, you're right. I dug around a bit and found this page on behance.net: www.behance.net/gallery/66740681/AKIRA It appears that "James" and "haoyu" are one and the same, and that this video is the work of the artist himself.
This bike it's been around like forever. It's cool, but why no one sell something like this ya. Although many random builder make the one off replica since the 90's. If someone build serial limited production inspired by this bike, this is the time, because we're now in the future.
I would Love love, LOVE to build this bike with a VFR-Interceptor motor (because it sounds like a V-8, and so does this moto in the movie... and it can make decent power). This is a high-fidelity model that looks pretty... without some fairing. But... Where's the suspension? Where's the fuel tank? In front of the seat, that space is too small, it has to be the air intake.
