Database Entry

 * The Yaiba Kusanagi CT-3X is the fastest, and unsurprisingly, the most expensive [sic] motorcycle, originally built in collaboration with the Arasaka Corporation. Its sleek, aerodynamic frame conceals a wickedly powerful engine. Ideally, anyone riding one should be chipped with reflex boosters to avoid flying into a traffic light at 100MPH when making a sharp turn. The Kusanagi is a favorite among gangers, especially the Tyger Claws.

Acquisition
Offered for sale by Wakako Okada for 22,000; you can retrieve it at a parking lot northeast from the fast travel point "Skyline & Salinas," in Japantown, Westbrook.

Development
The bike made its debut in the E3 2077 gameplay demo. An image and description were later revealed in Famitsu magazine (see Gallery).

The game's official Twitter account also posted an image of the cycle with the caption, "Catching a break with Yaiba Kusanagi..."

CD Projekt RED Senior Vehicle Concept Designer Paweł Breshke-Czyżewski said:


 * YAIBA KUSANAGI CT-3X is one of my best designs for CP77. I am happy with each project for the CP77, but the YAIBA motorcycle was special because it was the first two-wheeler. In this concept, everyone will recognize an Akira motorcycle. The Akira motorcycle is iconic and we wanted to create something equally good, but a little different. I know positive opinions about our motorcycle which proves that we managed to create something great.

Trivia

 * The name "Kusanagi" is a reference to the protagonist of Ghost in the Shell, Major Motoko Kusanagi.
 * The Yaiba Kusanagi bears a resemblance to Shotaro Kaneda's bike from the manga and anime film Akira.
