*The stunt version is a lightweight trial version that was introduced based on the opinion of Toshiaki Kumazawa, a bike stuntman. The characteristics were fully demonstrated in the OP's wheelie scene, but during the filming of Episode 6, gunpowder exploded and was placed right under the vehicle by mistake, wrecking it, so it has not appeared since then.

ISBN 4-89452-797-9..
*Kabutoro's conceptual names were originally and .
