If there were other a number of kuwi's on set as suggested earlier, perhaps some were loops too ?? yay or nay ?

Has anyone got a KZ1 then lol ?? Cheaper than a tange hot heart I bet....

they are all on kuwis, and there are more bikes used for sure, elliot has a black wheel and hub but in the chase it's gone gold. maybe somebody could squeeze another 10g's out of kasabian bloke.

In 2001 Universal Studios opened in Osaka, Japan and had an original bike shipped over to make a permanent display inside.

As a result of this and to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the film a number of bikes were made by Kuwahara. The bike you guys came across I believe is this model.

Hope this is useful

P.S. From an article I read a while ago on the Kuwahara Japan website. It suggests that the bike bought by the Bloke from Kasabian was a looptail version.

as it posted a pic of the poster next to the blog to show the bike and if anyone would know I think the guys at Kuwahara would.

If you want a copy of the poster try here http://www.flatlandfuel.com/item.jhtml?UCIDs=849786%7C889317&PRID=1583233. Cheaper than robbing B&$%^£d on Ebay.
