The highly popular computer game-like film has finally been brought into the real world – well, it’s iconic Light Cycles anyway; don’t expect to be zapping into your computer screen any time soon. Any TRON fans reading…you may want to hold back on that Ford Focus because you have some money to save!
From this...
...to this
This Light Cycle is an engineering and design marvel, it’s fibre-glass body recreates the sleek flowing and unearthly design. The people at Stone Parker Brothers’ Choppers in Florida wanted to make it as real as possible, from it’s size to it’s design; from the colours to the lights (it needed the lights, hence, Light Cycle).
The final bike isn’t just talk, oh no, it can walk the walk. Well, run the run. Fast, really fast. The Light Cycle can travel at speeds of up to 120mph thanks to the Suzuki 996cc 4 stroke engine that it houses. The tires have been taken form a truck, modified and used to blend the body and wheels together in it’s flowing design. Oh, and did I mention that it is road legal! But honest…would you travel at high speeds on that when you are sitting in a near horizontal position with your feet at the back wheels? …..I’m only posing the questions here.
The company says the bikes are built to order so changing the colour of the lights I’m guessing will be allowed but you must hurry, only five are to be built and I’m sorry to say, four have gone. One bike has been taken up by Disney after seeing the bike’s construction on Youtube. The TRON rejuvenating company are wanting to use it for public displays and events around the world, most probably in their world famous parades.
The bike making company have definitely stuck to what it’s statement is online, “If you can dream it…we can build it”. My next opinion, the bat mobile (that’s if they can build stuff with four wheels).
What do you think about it? You think it’s cool?
