This is old news, since the bike in question was on display at the 2004 Tokyo Motorcycle Show last April, but it's still pretty cool.
A few obssesive otaku here in Japan have created a rideable version of Kaneda's motorcyle from Akira, the landmark anime movie.
I can't imagine how it handles with such a recumbent riding position, but it looks amazing. Now let's see a working Gundam.

Oh. My. God.
It's here. I may die happy now.
Well, all I need it a psychic and self-destructive friend and a military-grade portable laser rifle to shoot at him with and life will be complete.

I remember the first time I saw Akira and said 'I want one!'
A part of me still feels the same way. :)

thats a DAMN fine example of the bike, i have a guy near my house who builds custom motorcycles who just built a replica of one of the racers from XG3, his next project is the Akira bike.
