The movie "Tron- Legacy" will be in theaters in a few weeks.If you are a motorcycle enthusiast like us, you must have wondered once or twice about how it would be like to ride the Tron light bike for real.
I guess everything is possible if you got money... lots of it...This bike shop in Florida, Parker Brothers Choppers has managed to build 10 of street-legal Tron Light Cycles for you to own.... each bike features a steel frame, fiberglass bodywork and a V-twin engine from a Suzuki TLR1000, brakes and other functional bits in there required to make them street legal. The bike weighs 474 pounds and is just over 100 inches long and 23 inches wide. The shop is selling them for $55,000 a pop, now only four Light Cycles left as of 12/01/10.
Though the bike looks like it drove straight off the movie screen, it’s not a replica or recreation since the Light Cycles in both Tron films were virtual. “We basically used the images we could get off the web in order to make the bike,” said Halverson. “Keep in mind, no one ever made this bike before.”
Well, you can complete the look with the Tron leather suit if you like...
The bike is not as agile as the one in the movie, obviously...
warning: the music sucks in the video.
