Cosplaying motorsports.

So whilst on tumblr I spotted this.


Being a super nerdy Neon Genesis Evangelion fan I just had to find out more about that bike!!

Turns out that in Japan's racing circuit there's a lot of manga sponsored teams out there. It works out just the same as any other sponsorship in motorsports but the end product for these sponsorships is cosplaying drivers, cars, bikes and showgirls. Super rad!

It's a Kawasaki Ninja sx-10R (with close to 1000cc !!) underneath, eva unit 1 paintjob and modded for endurance racing. Not too sure how well their team went in the Suzuka 8hr enduro but this bike is so rad!

Much nostalgia had while googling this, I'm so surprised that eva is still going strong despite its finale years ago, almost a decade I think!
