For a cool $55,000:

Looks a little quirky but you can tell they put the wrench time into it.

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

I personally think for what they engineered and the time put into it...$55K isn't a bad price, with all things considered...

Slight derby... 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.

Saw an article that said 400 and odd pounds.    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...

The build videos are kinda cool.  waytogo

Parker Brothers Choppers Tron Lightcycle Update 5 Hubless Wheel


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.
