These iconic motorbikes from across anime need little in the way of fictional add-ons in order to make them any cooler than they already are.

One of the most fun parts of anime is the creativity and imagination that it brings to the table. Regardless of genre, be it sci-fi, fantasy, or even slice-of-life, fans can find innovative gadgets, fantastical mechanisms, and interesting accessories that bring the characters and worlds to life.

Some of those innovations bring a coolness factor to the animes, and one of the most sure-fire ways to boost the coolness factor of a character is to give them a cool bike. One that springs instantly to mind is Kaneda’s motorcycle from the classic anime, Akira. But that bike isn’t the only one that stands out in fans’ minds, leaving them with a sense of envy.

10 Kaneda’s Bright Red Bike Is The Quintessential Anime Bike (Akira)

Plastered on the front of the most iconic Akira promotional posters is the bright red bike fans have come to associate with the groundbreaking work. The vehicle’s forward-looking design and statement color have not only stood the test of time but have also inspired an entire generation of anime fans.

Kaneda, the leader of the Capsules gang, lives up to his fierce and righteous reputation in his fight to save Tetsuo, clad in the striking red ensemble that fans have come to know and love.

9 Celty’s Bike Is A Shapeshifting Steed That Anyone Would Envy (Durarara!!)

What could be better than an all-black bike that can take on nearly any form? Celty Sturluson captured fans’ hearts with her bright yellow helmet and shiny black outfit. When paired with her mystical steed, Shooter, she is a force to be reckoned with.

Shooter can transform into almost anything, but the two most common forms Shooter is seen in are a headless horse and a sleek black motorcycle, which definitely blends better into the urban areas of modern-day Japan than a headless horse ever would.

8 Kino’s Motorcycle Is A Talking Companion And Retro Dream Bike (Kino’s Journey)

Kino’s Journey is an anime that follows the protagonist, Kino, on a quest to visit many different lands and experience many different cultures. Traveling with Kino is the talking motorbike, Hermes, who serves as Kino’s confidant and primary mode of transportation.

Along with Kino, Hermes is an important character in the story with his own personality. Hermes is cynical, logical, and a bit of a complainer. His design is based on the well-known and highly regarded Brough Superior SS100, a bike with vintage appeal that compliments the show’s aesthetic.

7 The Combo Of Benedict Blue And A Motorcycle Is A Knockout (Violet Evergarden)

While Benedict Blue’s bike doesn’t have the expected motorcycle exterior, it is a motorbike with a quaint appearance. Its design is vintage, light, and unique, making it the perfect mode of transportation for a person like Blue who delivers mail. It is neither clunky nor showy, but when paired with Blue’s soft characteristics and spicy fashion sense, it makes complete sense.

For those who refrain from ostentatious presentations and who want something simple, utilitarian, and aesthetically pleasing, one cannot go wrong with a bike like Benedict Blue’s in a slice-of-life anime like Violet Evergarden.

6 Okuyasu Had A Cool Bike Until Red Hot Chili Pepper Destroyed It (JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Diamond Is Unbreakable)

Okuyasu’s purple bike rounded out his bad-boy, delinquent image, but after riding it out to meet Josuke and Jotaro, it was possessed by Red Hot Chili Pepper, a troublesome Stand that can travel across electrical wires, infiltrate anything that runs on electricity, and take it over.

Red Hot Chili Pepper had also killed Okuyasu’s older brother earlier in the series, so when he takes control of Okuyasu’s bike, Okuyasu resolves to destroy Red Hot Chili Pepper, regardless of the collateral damage. While Okuyasu’s purple bike would have been a hit with fans who love eccentric colors, this bike was gone too soon.

5 Haruko’s Vespa Is Almost As Iconic As Kaneda’s Bike (FLCL)

Vespa fans are sure to love the yellow motorbike from the iconic retro anime, Fooly Cooly. With its vintage design and bright color, it is certain to catch glances. Its exact model is the Vespa SS 180. Driven by the guitar-wielding Haruko Haruhara, the Vespa was the primary mode of transportation for the character.

The bike serves as the sixties-inspired icing on the cake for such an eccentric and whimsical anime. Fans will be delighted to know similar-looking Vespas can be found on the market but disappointed in the fact that the real bike cannot fly like Haruko’s.

4 Mello’s Bike Intensifies The Show (Death Note)

Mello’s edgy yet avant-garde aesthetic is made whole by his equally edgy motorcycle. In an unforgettable move that still rivets fans of the Death Note series, Mello kidnaps Takada to help Near. Mello puts Takada on his motorcycle and the two speed off towards a trailer where Takada later kills him using a page from the death note.

Her name is then written down and she is killed to eliminate evidence. However, this is exactly how Near catches Kira. While Mello’s plan was doomed to fail, fans can’t help but remember Mello speeding down the road on his motorcycle toward certain death.

3 The Duel Runners Aren’t Just A Mode Of Transport (Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D’s)

The Duel Runners in Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D’s doubtlessly added intensity to the “Duel Monsters” card game. Their diverse yet futuristic designs brought an extra level of style to the battles. One iconic example is Yusei Fudo’s “Yusei Go,” a bright red bike with a curved back end.

Another is the disk-shaped “Phoenix Whirlwind,” also known as “The Wheel of Fortune,” driven by Jack Atlas. Though some of the Duel Runners are a bit too eccentric to be street legal, fans can’t help but remember their iconic designs.

2 K-ON! But With Motorcycles (Bakuon!!)

Bakuon!! follows the story of Hane Sakura who becomes enamored with bikes after seeing other girls riding motorcycles and decides to join the school’s motorcycle club. Throughout the series, Hane can be seen riding a bright pink Honda CB400SF Hyper VTEC Spec III.

Fans who prefer a flashier, more fun motorcycle as opposed to the darker and more edgy bikes ridden by characters like Mello and Celty, love Hane’s light-hearted bike and can appreciate the happiness and empowerment it brings to the main character of the series.

1 Saber Drives A Motorcycle That Gives Her A Grittier Edge (Fate/Zero)

While Artoria Pendragon, known as Saber in the Fate/Zero and Fate/Stay Night series, is not a Rider class, she has strong skills in riding due to her history as being a mounted warrior. This can be seen when she commandeered a bike, a Yahama V-Max, and modified its body using her armor. If they could get past the obvious real-life legal ramifications of using Saber’s armor-enforced V-max, many fans would love to own this bike.
