Tron 2 - Motor-light-cycle awesomeness

[hillbillypolack]

You mean a little something like this?






"Unveiled at the 2008 Paris Motor Show, the newest Sbarro motorcycle concept looks like ready for the Bonneville Salt Flats, but taking a better look at that riding position, I don't believe that crashing would be an option for the rider. Not that it would for any rider in generally, but a Sbarro rider's members are exposed, leaving the machine's entire weight to fall on them if, unfortunately, this crashes.

Thanks goodness, the silhouette you see in the pictures is only a mannequin, but one that is precisely squeezed in so that it would become one with the bike. So where there would normally be the wheels hubs now “bolt in” the courageous rider's hands and the visor stands as the screen."

I really like the Tron bike, also reminds me of the Icare concept bike.



I'd pick either one up in a heartbeat (price dependent obviously, they WONT be cheap)

Though what would ultimately make these bikes less awesome would be if Tron guy were riding them:

Staring off into the middle distance, Tron guy spots a blueberry muffin.

agreed.

While I like the looks of the new Light Cycle, it would have been neat to see the origional refit for the new movie:

Yeah, so me being me and seeing your reaction I decided to see what the deal was... oh dear LAWDY! Why did I do that! 

[NoisyDante]

Yes, I smartly chose not to post the "making of" pics for all to see, let people find those themselves
