Inspired by Star Wars

Shuhei Komatsu, the creator of the machine, readily admits that he was inspired by the Landspeeders of the Star Wars saga.

In Japan, the XTurismo is already marketed and used relatively easily, since it is not considered an aircraft.

And let's not even talk about Europe.

But do not doubt it: this motorcycle equipped with Kawasaki hybrid engines, which can fly 40 minutes up to 100 km/h, will find amateurs.

And this despite a price of… €778,000.
