The motorcycle in cinema: Specter.


(link)
"Specter is the first Tokusatsu short film created by Konami. The film itself made it's appearance in conventions and shows to promote the film of 2005. The movie itself never made international release, but found its way through the internet. During display shows the "Specter" motorbike as well as the "Specter" Turbo Suit was featured. The effects of the film were done by Buildup Co.


Agent Tetsuya Teresaki is the local Earth Defender enforcer in Japan. After fulfilling his mission he was immediately assigned to deal with the threat of alien invaders trying to steal an alien artifact from a local archaeological research site."

That was a great trailer... To bad it never made it to the states as a direct to DVD movie or even on cable TV. I think many motorcyclist, gamers and comic fans would have enjoyed it.
