Well that looks like an overpriced, riced out, piece of shiat for a motorcycle.

It doesn't take away my desire to own a lightcycle.

I'd rather have the Lithium bike.

I would actually want the other bike they made. However the first thing i'd do is take off those stupid headlights and put on a single round one.

The light cycles are interesting and really cool in the movie. But, they don't become anything rideable in real life.

Is this the same one that couldn't make more than a few degree turn without scrapping the ground?

Looks neat. Can't help you with that, but how about this? (new window)

Nah... thanks though.. though the design of the white light cycle, is more feasible than the black one. IF you do the steering via the rear wheel segment.

Or two round ones. I like a backup, and it would also look good.

Do not want. Looks cool, but those instant ninety-degree turns give you whiplash.

I always wanted a bike like they rode in Advent Children. With popout compartments for guns and swords, and independently spinning wheels(at least it seemed like they did). Such a cool bike.

Those kinds of motorycle, like the Dodge Tomahawk, only interrest the non-bikers.

They represent almost all the things a motorcycle should NOT be.

Parker Brothers Choppers was supposed to announce the video finalists on 11/7 (to win one of these suckers), but haven't gotten around to it yet. Unless I read the rules wrong & that was just the submission deadline.

Typical modern overpriced chopper price, actually suprised its that "low". My guess is it handles like a Steel I-beam, and thats being generous.

And it probably turns like a brick.

Seems like every few months someone builds one of these

Hrm. Worse ergos than a pure sportbike, and what looks like the lean angle of a cruiser with floorboards. And a top speed less than a 250cc starter bike. All combined with a 100 mile range.

Yeah. I want that.

It's slow, probably can't turn well, looks really uncomfortable, and is way overpriced.

Still beats a Harley.
