Anime Popstar Bikes

Good Smile Racing's Three HMR Bikes Take Inspiration from Hatsune Miku

— June 25, 2014 — Lifestyle
The Good Smile Racing Bike Project recently unveiled a new bicycle with a form inspired by the holographic Japanese popstar Hatsune Miku. What's neat about the Racing Miku Hatsune Miku GT is that the bike comes in three different shapes, designed for different levels of cyclists, including the HRM-Extreme model specifically built for racing, the HMR-9 for hills and sloped terrain, as well the HRM-x, a third frame that puts an emphasis on style.

The bicycles have light metal frames and adopt Miku's iconic blue coloring. Additionally, true to anime style, the three made-to-order Good Smile Racing bikes come with thousand dollar price tags that will make your eyes bug out of your head in a rather cartoonish fashion, although they are quite something to behold.
