Lately been browsing the net for any updates on this item that I've pre ordered, its in Japanese so you can just use Google Translate or any translation software you have or if you are fluent in the language if you want to know what the Japanese blogger had to say with the Bike.

Thanks for the link! I love the heck out of my Road Sector. It's a gorgeous piece and I'm really glad to have picked it up.

The bike itself looks great for show to screen transition, but I just don't understand the need for the bike. Black has Battle Hopper. Why did they feel the need to give him a second, pointless bike?

We may never now the exact reason for the 2nd bike my friend, but, imo since Black lacked in the extra armaments that the other riders especially the Heisei riders have in abundance why not add in a second machine for him to use? Perhaps instead of giving Black hand held weapons Ishinomori Sensei and his team saw the potential of this series to have a 2nd season thus decided to just give Black a new Bike as not to ruin the surprise transformation of Black to Rx and the plethora of weapons and abilities that will follow it.

Without Road Sector covering for the lack of additional weapons for Black to use I'm afraid the series would have become redundant in terms of stunt options so yeah I don't consider Road Sector "Pointless" but rather a "Supplement", but again we may never really know and these are just my opinions as a die hard Kamen Rider Black fan.

As much as I've been waiting for eternity for my pre order to arrive I have also been dying to see reviews of Road Sector since April 2014 started then I saw this. Glad you liked it.

And if you google translate it, read or watched the more recent reviews aside from this one like the one on FireStarter's Youtube account

Imo the so called cramped position/ inaccurate sitting position of Black Sun (the figure) riding the RS in Attack Shield mode is purely due to the fact that the RS was so faithfully reproduced from the original Big Bike in which its ergonomics where designed for flexible organic beings namely us, so posing issues was bound to happen because no matter how articulated a figure is, it cannot really fully compare to human limbs. With that said I don't think any SHFiguarts humanoid figure could really ride this RS perfectly in terms of comfort and aesthetics with the Attack Shield on either and editing the bike imo would bring about disaster to its accuracy so yeah this is probably the best Bandai can do for now and truly it is the BEST!
