Motorcycle specifications YaibaKusanagi CT-3X 2078 A precept in Cyberpunk 2077

Osaka-based Yaiba understands the gang craze for powerful, sleek motorcycles. Hence the idea of building the Kusanagi CT-3X. A sports bike that's a bit of a dragster and a whole lot of nasty.

In a cybernetic world, the bike's name is a nod to past projections. It's called Kusanagi, after the Major of the manga "Ghost in the Shell" (Motoko Kusanagi) - a highly efficient cyborg in charge of an anti-terrorist unit.

Its taut, muscular design is quickly compared to that of the motorcycle in the film Akira. Has the CT-3X been influenced by the apocalyptic manga of the '80s, or is it an homage? Surely a bit of both, as evidenced by the low, extended snout, the exclusive, bestial look, the US Army sticker on the forkhead and the wacky character of the riders on the handlebars.

We're approaching the next century. And yet, electrics haven't taken over the world of vehicles. The Kusanagi CT-3X rumbles along on liquid fuel, just like the old days. Not gasoline, diesel or molten plutonium, but CHOOH2. All vehicles in the game run on this synthetic alcohol, derived from genetically modified wheat.

this sports bike is generously equipped, with 183 horsepower in the engine. Impossible to know the displacement and all its technical aspects, but it looks like there's a throbbing twin in there. Technology is omnipresent in Night City, both in the skies and in the organic tissues. The first sports bikes to develop this level of power date back some sixty years.
Top speed is a respectable 304 km/h. Weight, on the other hand, is a real catastrophe. 372 kilos is the tonnage of a Harley or Godwing you've seen in vintage motorcycle books.

The vehicle is picked up with an SID microchip implanted in the thumb. The seat is long, the footrests far back and the handlebars far enough away to tilt the body and put quite a bit of weight on the front. Comfort not guaranteed.
Power is distributed solely to the rear wheel, which is held by a huge monobar, probably housing the secondary transmission. As for the brakes, we imagine they are integrated into the hub of each wheel. A triple set of shock absorbers takes care of the suspension. Two for the front axle, also made up of a monobar, and one under the seat. Like most Japanese sports bikes, the Yaiba houses its engine in a perimeter frame with two longitudinal members. Probably made of aluminum.

You'll need to spend no less than 22,000 eurodollars to ride the Kusanagi, so it's best to plan on solid skills and implants in good condition to enjoy this beast of the road.
