Title: Street Legal Light Cycle Post by: Monster Dave on December 01, 2010, 11:31:32 AM For a cool $55,000:
(http://cache-02.gawkerassets.com/assets/images/12/2010/11/tron_lightcycle_03.jpg) Tron Lightcycle Test Drive Parker Brothers Choppers TRON Legacy.wmv (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ivPheV77JcU&feature=player_embedded#normal) Looks a little quirky but you can tell they put the wrench time into it. Title: Re: Street Legal Light Cycle Post by: Slide Panda on December 01, 2010, 11:44:02 AM Obviously not realistic to expect to me able to really ride that thing, but good on them for making something that does work and is that true to the look. Looks like a pretty nice build
Title: Re: Street Legal Light Cycle Post by: zooom on December 01, 2010, 11:47:38 AM I personally think for what they engineered and the time put into it...$55K isn't a bad price, with all things considered...

Title: Re: Street Legal Light Cycle Post by: RBX QB on December 01, 2010, 11:56:31 AM Slight derby... http://www.ducatimonsterforum.org/index.php?topic=40058.0 (http://www.ducatimonsterforum.org/index.php?topic=40058.0) I wonder if they're still limiting the build to 5 units.
I second Panda's comments... impressive engineering to make the thing operate, but I'd never want to own one. You think you nut your Monster tank, how do you think this riding position would feel after even a small jolt. Turning radius of the Titanic, grip spacing for Shaq, lean angle of a CanAm... But I'd still like to TRY to ride it. Title: Re: Street Legal Light Cycle Post by: Statler on December 01, 2010, 01:14:18 PM Saw an article that said 400 and odd pounds. If that thing weighs leas than 520 I'll eat my hat.

If that thing weighs leas than 520 I'll eat my hat. look at the build video's....once you see what all is under the skin...I think it is believeable....mybe slightly exxagerrated...but I'd still say sub 500 lbs... Title: Re: Street Legal Light Cycle Post by: Chucko9-696 on December 01, 2010, 01:48:22 PM Interesting, looks like it would be painfull on the boys. Id still like to take it out one time [drink]

Parker Brothers Choppers Tron Lightcycle Update 5 Hubless Wheel (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ywu6PBmXYAc#normal) The only thing that bugs me a little is that the rear hub isn't fully circle and looks a little off because it's so oblong on the bottom. |
