the Ninja Lightning Cycle

While the original Ninja Lightning Cycle was a fast and maneuverable tool for the Ninja Force, it had a few issues. There was its conspicuous color scheme for one, as well as the missile-launching side car; both of these detracted from its practicality, and its 'cool' factor.

A decade later, the concept was been revisited. The new Ninja Lightning Cycle incorporated the missile launcher into the vehicle chassis itself, though Kamakura's custom ride has a conspicuous, sea green color to match his uniform. The new Ninja Lightning Cycle has these characteristics:

Communications Gear (i): the Ninja Lightning Cycle is equipped with a gigahertz frequency, frequency wobbler clandestine operations radio system. This makes for intensity 6 communications power (with a 250 mile range) that has intensity 10 signal encryption.

Lightning Speed (a): the Ninja Lightning is fast, if not particularly durable. It can move at speeds of up to 210 miles per hour, giving it this 'power' at intensity 7 - it's not as fast off-road, but then it's not designed to be used in that way.

Missile Launcher (i): the sole armament on the Ninja Lightning Cycle is housed under the driver. This contraption can fire a singular surface to surface missile, which cannot be reloaded 'on the fly' at all. These projectile inflicts intensity 9 fragmentary damage.

Plasto-glass Wind Screen (s): this composite-material wind screen helps to keep the driver of the Ninja Lightning Cycle free of road debris. It provides +2 protection from incoming attacks that come from the front - assuming they're aimed at the driver, and not the wheels...

Stealth (i): despite its bright coloring, the Ninja Lightning Cycle is a stealthy ride. At least in the acoustic sense, for it is built with multiple sound baffles and streamlining to deaden its engine noise; you usually won't hear it until it's within near missile distance (intensity 1 sound stealth).
