Tron Lightcycle

"Tron Legacy Lightcycle ($35,000). While the movie doesn't hit theaters until December, anyone who saw the original knows the lightcycle races will be the highlight of the film, making the five Lightcycles instant classics. These are built to be street-legal, with custom 22-inch hubless wheels, custom Hoosier tires, electric or gasoline motors, two-inch hardened steel frames, carbon fiber/fiberglass bodies, and neon hidden behind frosted plexiglass for the accent colors."

That is AWESOME! I would buy one if I was one of those sickly wealthy people who collect vehicles.

With all that wheel cladding, cornering should be interesting. Unless they really do that whole 90 degree 'Automan' thing.

/Does it come with the 'light wall' behind it? 'Cause I want that too.

+1 on the light walls

I wonder if riding on of those is like a really great acid trip?

Don't think I'd get too far cause I'd get lost trying to figure out hubless wheels....

LOL me too!

Does it come with the suit too? $35k is actually pretty cheap for these unique bikes. Wish I had the dough
