Future Reality - Legacy Light Cycle

This is the illuminated, street-legal motorcycle inspired by the computer animated cycle from the 2010 film Tron: Legacy. Designed for casual cruising and slow ride-bys at shows, it is made from a steel frame covered by a fiberglass cowling that replicates the sleek look of its computer-generated imagery counterpart. 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.

No need for turning if it was built in the US. LOL

Actually, if you want to turn around the machine, you only have to move your body forward-to-backwards and take a grip on the rear handle bars. Razz

Looks like a good way to get killed, if it can go 50 km/h.

on the positive side... these things would be awesome to get rid of cops... just do a little swerve so your light beam takes up the entire road and you're good.
