Concept Supercars Hot Futuristic Vehicles * Home * About * Contact Us * * Icare Motorcycle Should Have Been in Final Fantasy

Seen Advent Children? If I remember well Cloud Strife and the “bad guys” had motorcycles that were similar to the concept below. This is the Icare futuristic bike, coming from Enzyme Design and packing a Honda 6 cylinder flat engine (1800cm3).

The front of the bike has got some sort of “alien head” thing going on, but I for one still miss Cloud’s sword holders and huge exhaust pipes from the sides of the Advent Children motorcycles.
