Capcom making Resident Evil motorbike News • News • Eurogamer.net

News PC Xbox 360 PlayStation 3

It's got guns and health spray on it.

What does Capcom make? Games? No, motorbikes actually.

The games publisher has partnered with movie production company Hollywood Inc. to commission a Resident Evil Chopper.

The bike will have armour-plated front and rear tires, plus dual .50 Magnums, health spray, herb vials, grenade launcher, knife sheath, zombie spikes, STARS logo and Ithica M37 shotgun.

"This isn't some crazy corporate bike being built for display instead of riding. Instead, this is an awesome piece of Resident Evil merchandise that you can fire up and take out on the open road," wrote Chris "Kramerz" Kramer on the Capcom blog.

Vroom! Did Capcom pay for that?

Workshop Savage Cycles will producer an "extraordinarily limited" number of these bikes that you can actually buy. Naturally there's no mention of price. Capcom expects the first batch to be ready to ride in January.

The Capcom blog has concept sketches and work-in-progress photos of the Resident Evil Chopper. Shame it's not Orange County Choppers making the bike, really.

That bike is more or less the most depressing thing I've seen in my life.

Wouldn't you want a Pan European or something for better protection against the zombie hordes? Certainly it would be more comfortable to sit on and less likely to break down in the middle of Raccoon City than a silly custom chopper.

In a zombie apocalypse, I'd rather a Toyota Hilux. Who in their right mind would use a bike? Doors and windows and the ability to drive through the hordes. You can put the health spray in the cup holder if that's an issue for you.

"Zombie Spikes" on the front wheel are a bad idea.

You'll just end up with a load of zombies attached to the bike by their shins, making it difficult to steer.

Surely they should be blades of some kind, if not chainsaws, Dead Rising 2 style?

I really hope this will be a playable vehicle in Super Resio Kart.

I've never wanted anything so much in my entire life

Shame they'll probably cost more than I could ever afford

However, Capcom should definitely let one of these go in some sort of crazy competition. Maybe something like a zombie themed motorcycle drag race.That give me more than enough reason to make some modifications to my ZX12R Ninja

Yep, looks like it was drawn by a crayon-eating 8 year old.

And +1 for a Hilux

That actually looks quite nifty. Wouldn't mind one, if it didn't have Capcom and other ResEvil related crap painted all over it.

american choppers suck.. you can polish an old tractor engine all you want, it's still gonna be an old tractor engine. Most of em don't even have suspension.This one is especially ridiculous, you get what, like 2 cm's of ground clearance? Granted, if you drive this, 2cms is probably gonna be huge next to your penis and it will look slightly better untill the bits and pieces start falling off when you hit the first bump.

Got to be a publicity stunt. No right minded biker would buy one and I doubt a non-biking gamer would go to the expense of all the bike training and test just to buy one. Utter nonsense.

No doubt they're making 'proper' ones so they can be shown at E3 and there's that added (ie: zero) bonus of saying 'and it actually works!'

OCC are completly overrated. They make terrible , tacky bikes that are the very definition of "selling out". A couple of them aren't bad, the spider bikes are pretty cool, but on the whole, the show has just become a reality soap opera about Paul snr and jnr. For Christ sakes just get on building the bloody bike. I don't watch the discovery channel for Eastenders style tantrums.
