Yamaha Nodachi

YAMAHA NODACHI While the Rapier still finds occasional use in combat biker arenas, the Yamaha Nodachi is fast becoming the most common bike on the circuit. Corporate brand loyalty is about the only thing that prevents it from being used by just about every player. The Nodachi is a beast of a bike that can plow through a fully armored troll like they were rice paper. Designed with arms and armor integration in mind, the Nodachi reminds car buffs of the early Hummer H1, a combat vehicle made street-legal— barely. Though Yamaha still claims the bike was designed for the street and retrofitted for combat biker, no one buys it. This beast makes my list because it’s easier to find one with a control rig than without, the weapon mounts require about six minutes for a barrens-raised troll to install, and it always looks lethal so it rarely draws any more attention than regular bikes.
