Honda has transformed the iconic Pokémon Koraidon into a real-world motorcycle, blending technology, innovation, and gaming nostalgia. The Pokémon Koraidon motorcycle was unveiled under Honda’s Koraidon Project in collaboration with The Pokémon Company and showcased at the Honda Welcome Plaza Aoyama in Tokyo, Japan, from March 7th to 9th, 2025. Inspired by Koraidon from Pokémon Scarlet (2022), the motorcycle mirrors the weight, size, and distinct features of the legendary creature. To make the design even more lifelike, Honda added animated elements, including moving hands, feet, eyes, and an expressive face that moves dynamically as the motorcycle rides, vividly replicating the in-game character.
Bringing innovative engineering into play, the Pokémon Koraidon motorcycle incorporates Honda’s advanced Riding Assist technology, enabling it to self-balance without a kickstand. This cutting-edge system allows the bike to remain upright on its own, ensuring stability even if the rider briefly releases the handlebars. This feature aligns with Koraidon’s in-game capabilities of adapting to various terrains as a companion Pokémon that transforms into a rideable form. The dynamic movement of its components and Honda’s balance control technology create a seamless blend of fiction and reality, giving fans of both Pokémon and innovative mobility systems a thrilling experience.
Currently, the Koraidon motorcycle is a concept model and remains unavailable for purchase. Honda has not disclosed any production plans or technical specifications to date. However, its debut marks a fascinating intersection of pop culture and technological advancement. Whether it stays as a one-time tribute or paves the way for future collaborations between gaming and real-world innovation, the Koraidon motorcycle has already left a lasting impression, bringing the world of Pokémon a step closer to reality. Pokémon fans and motorcycle enthusiasts alike were thrilled to witness this one-of-a-kind tribute during its limited showcase, showcasing the limitless possibilities of creativity and design.
