Saber and Zero-One bikes are based on the same model bike, Honda CRF450L, so there's a high chance a Saber bike is also made with shared parts.

Absolutely need the Bikes.
WTF is the Point of Kamen RIDER without the bikes? Just want the bike to go with the figures, not whining about accessories included, Figuarts is just that cheap nowadays,it will probably not change… It’s not 2011 anymore, unfortunately… |

I was thinking. When Evil gets his SHF, I wonder how they'll do his elbows. He has these big cups that wrap around his elbow.
Do they break the sculpt entirely and just have the arm joint there, or they put the joint inside the cups and make said cups just soft plastic instead, though it might hinder his elbows. The knees are fine since they don't really cover the back side of the knees and should be able to bend normally. It's the elbows that are interesting to think about. |

Ask Toei. Most Riders these days either don't have bikes anymore or ride them for like 2 episodes. We all know why, no point in discussing Japanese road laws and production costs, but it's still a fact that the "Rider" part of Kamen Rider ain't that relevant anymore.
If we're talking Showa or Heisei Phase I then yeah, bikes are cool, but Heisei Phase II and Reiwa? No point in paying money for a bike that was barely ever featured in the show. Although Heisei Phase II ain't that bad, but still suffers from a lack of bike action, especially the more recent ones. And yes, you're buying everything, I get it, but for me most bikes are not worth owning. Interesting. Haven't really looked at Evil closely enough to notice. But Demon's right shoulder could be a problem with the tiny cape. Last edited by Kiwami; 10-21-2021 at 06:35 AM.. |

It's a shame, really; I would have loved Build in particular to get more biking

At this point, the rider part of their name is there due to legacy. Road laws knee-capping the use of bikes can't suddenly mean that Toei's gonna change the name of the hero series that's been prevalent in Japan's entertainment history since the 70s into like...Kamen Fighter or Kamen Warrior. It's impossible to change this deep in.

I guess the "Rider" part still kind of works when belts are called "Driver", so it's about riders, but not the traditional vehicle rider if you know what I mean.

Funny enough, Gaim kinda sorta got around the whole "Rider" issue by calling them "Beat Riders"...as in they ride the beat...because they're (mostly) dancers.
