 This article is about a Rider Machine in Kamen Rider, the original series.
|
Cyclone (サイクロン号, Saikuron-gō) is a vehicle given to Takeshi Hongo by Professor Midorikawa. Cyclone takes the form of an off-road bike and can be ridden by people other than Hongo. When Hongo transforms into Kamen Rider, the switch for the bike is also activated and the bike becomes a sport bike.
A lighter, upgraded version known as the Remodeled Cyclone (改造サイクロン号, Kaizō Saikuron-gō) is introduced in episode 14, however it's given to Hayato Ichimonji since Hongo had already left the country. Hongo also begins using a similar model during his missions in Europe[1], which would later be seen in episode 40 when Rider 1 goes to save Rider 2.
Although the Remodeled Cyclone would eventually be replaced by New Cyclone, Rider 1 goes back to using the Remodeled Cyclone as his main vehicle during his appearances in Kamen Rider (Skyrider).
In Kamen Rider The First, Cyclone's base design is the Honda CBR1000RR, and is modified by Hongo's mentor Tobee Tachibana. He rides Cyclone even in human form or rider form.

Notes[]
- In several scenes in the show's original opening sequence, Rider 1 can be seen riding the Cyclone in its untransformed state.
- The remodeled version of the Cyclone shares the same base motorcycle model as the original Cyclone in its untransformed state, the only difference being the addition of a motorcycle fairing which covers the front of the bike.
- By performing the Au Lait function on the DX Sengoku Driver, the inserted #1 Rider Lockseed makes the announcement, Cyclone!.
