[release]If you are looking for the perfect motorcycle or just to go mano-a-mano with Jeff Bridges, look no further.
The Light Cycle from the 2010 film Tron: Legacy is not only street-legal, but it’s actually for sale. And even with
a price tag of [b]$55,000[/b], there is a wait list!
Sorry, Jeff Bridges is sold separately.
Made with a [b]steel frame and a fiberglass body[/b], the bike is 8 1/2 feet long, with a width of 23 1/4 inches and
a height of 28 1/2 inches, and built to order.
Electroluminescent strips built into the tire cowlings, wheel rims, and body illuminate the cycle. It is powered by a
fuel-injected Suzuki 996cc, 4-stroke engine. Riders lay at a near-horizontal position astride the padded leather seat,
with feet on foot pegs that control its 6-speed constant mesh manual transmission and hands on the handlebars for
throttle and braking. The hubless wheels are former truck tires built up then custom-shaped to fit onto one of two
counter-rotating rims spinning within each other, providing the broad-tired authenticity of the computer cycles from
the movie. A chain-driven friction drum manages acceleration and braking from the handlebars. It uses a 3 1/2-gallon
main fuel tank and 1 1/4-gallon reserve tank.

No it turns at perfect 90 degree angles.

Looks horribly uncomfortable.

There's a lot of hint-hint wink-wink in the promotion stuff that you shouldn't use it as a getting-around vehicle, just a thing to show off because of that.
Also, this is fucking ancient.
Anyone else get mad when people don't properly differentiate TRON from TRON: Legacy?
These are the bikes from the old movie:

whine about it.
$55,000?
That's not bad at all. I expected at least $110k at LEAST. But still, looks really uncomfortable.
I hope it doesn't have those killing death trail like in the movies. Otherwise cutting people off would make you the biggest asshole around.

I had a little bit of a chuckle when I saw the classic TRON lightcycle in TRON: Legacy.

You know that the lightcycles from legacy are actually what Steve Lisberger wanted them to look like in the original, but getting the actors to mix with the CGI vehicle wasn't working out properly, so they switched to the covered top design where you can't see the person.
