Ya I've seen a hand full of fan models. Too bad they're not an electric drive. I think the idea of his was that of a diesel locomotive. Gas powered engine that drove electric driver units. Not really sure why.

Yeah, I've seen a few - they are all converted motorcycles rather than the electronic drive described in one of the bikes I linked to.

At least - (if they make them) there won't be a chain to wear.

I don't really want them to stop... More like

still recovering - back to crutches, then walking with a stick, then running - then hopefully riding again!

It isn't like we're playing football and there are lines all over the place. :)

Besides a good comic always tramples over the lines and figures out when to backtrack. :)

That picture reminds me why I like living in Asia....:laughing:

and I'm all over that seating position....I bet it's comfortable as hell too....I'm susprised nobody ever jumped on it...Akira was pretty popular in japan WAAAY back then....both as a long running Manga and then a movie.

I've seen a few fan based mods....they're alright....I'd take a red version of that suzuki any day of the week.

At the very least, hardcore otaku's would buy enough of them to break even. I can see it being a hit in korea.
