The One and Only Motorcycle Superhero

[Vit0r]

I don't know what sparked your interest in motorcycles but for me it was the rides my father used to give me on his very old Yamaha dual sport. But another big reason was this guy!



Now, I know from the looks of it he seems like a really dorky guy posing for no reason but that guy can transform into this guy, Masked Rider Black!



He uses two different motorcycles to defeat bad guys depending on the type of monster he's facing since each motorcycle has his own attributes. His motorcycles even respond to his commands, sorta like a Night Rider motorcycle version.





Once he defeats all the baddies that this secret society sends after him he earns a showdown with his brother/arch-nemesis Shadow Moon.



This guy eats Power Rangers for breakfast.

ps... anyone know what the bike was bastardised from?

pps.... Scratch that question

* A 1983 Honda XL500 was used to make the bike used in the pilot episode.
* 3 1984 Honda XR500's were used to make the bike during the series.
* 11 1984 Honda XCR250's were used to make the bikes for the stunt scenes during the series.

I'd bet money that the premise of Street Hawk was totally jocked from the Japanese Kamen Rider/Masked Rider series. Just like how the Americans bootleg every single Japanese superhero series and recycle it into some kiddie show. Street Hawk looks like a herb, Masked Rider black would lay the smackdown on that David Hasselhoff wannabe.

yeah, but street hawk had hyperthrust, so they could show gratuitous shots of the digital speedo rising, and some obviously speed up footage of a bike going down the road

Yea well, Road Sector had a retractable super-shield that when activated would allow him and Masked Rider Black to go through walls and various other structures.

This has them all beat...

street hawk had compressed gas.... why go through walls, when you can jump them, and not have the repair bill waiting for you?

[Vit0r]

Well, Battle Hopper had the ability to regenerate and repair himself after he did stuff like this.
