I'm not sure where this one is from or who made it. But, they seemed to be going for a siimilar look to the two above.

The Suzuki company even seem to be jumping on the bandwagon. Here's something they built that kinda has that Sci-Fi appearance...

AND, Suzuki has the Nuda concept going on... I think it's a bit odd looking for todays world. But, I'm sure that it would have it's fan base.

That Suzuki looks awesome. I'd ride it for sure.

IMO, Suzuki made quite a leap looks-wise with the latest Hayabusa. It looks amazing.

Anyone remember Judge Dredd's bike in the Stallone film?

Yeah?

Well, *cough* I rode it.

At that time I worked for a video distribution company that distributed Judge Dredd over the Benelux and they had one sitting in the storage.

It's primarily plastic and flashy lights, but the rocket sled slides out nicely though. Looks really dangerous. It wouldn't actually ride, because of some problems. I offered to fix it with a biker cousin of mine under the condition that it would become my property, but they had it on loan as well...

Bummer.

Assuming I will someday get my bike-license.

OK, here goes... I got a bit more response to this than I thought.

@ TTR; I KNOW it was made with a computer... :rofl: What do you think I meant by "Hollywood quality"? :wink:

@ Beast; Which of the Suzuki's are you refering to, the G-Strider (White one) or the Nuda (Silver/Grey one). Hayabusa??? Hmmm... I'll have to check on that one... Never seen it.

[Edit; OK, I checked out the Hayabusa. I agree with you that it is somewhat of a departture from the norm in appearance. But, in my opinion, it still looks like your basic "crotch rocket" dressed up a bit. If I had to choose, I would definitely take the G-Strider...]

@ Evil Blarg; I'm jealous... I don't seem to be able to find any pic's of that one. :help:

The G-Strider for sure, it looks brill!

And the Hayabusa is brutal man, it's the fastest production bike in the world (although someone might argue that the Kawasaki ZX-12R is the fastest production bike, and they might be right), and the Hayabusa just looks so sexay.

Like so

it's the fastest production bike in the world


Yeah, yeah... But, If you've been paying attention. The speed of the bike doesn't really mean much to me. There are Kruzer's & Rock-it's in this world. I'm a Kruzer. In other word's, I can't stand the idiot's I see out there that don't ride responsibly. I've lost way too many friend's that way... And, one has been in a nursing home since his 18th birthday. Seeing that kind of idiocy just makes me sick. Unfortunately, the only people I have ever come across that are in to the "crotch rocket's" are of the Rock-it variety of folk's. No respect for the danger they put themselves & everyone else in every time the fly down the road, weaving in & out of traffic. I guess that it's because of what I've seen & experienced that I could never ride one of those blasted "crotch rocket's". It just doesn't seem right. I was also raised around those that believed a ride on a motorcycle should be something you do to relax. Not something to see if you can get through it without pissing your pant's. :rofl:

But, I also know that plenty of you probably don't agree with this "Life Philosophy". To each their own. I just hope that none of you Rock-It's out there end up on a slab. Or worse, as a vegetable...

Here's to my buddy "Spike"! :beer: I miss you man...

Sorry about the rambling. But, I've been drinking for about three hour's now... Understand? :wink:

I definetly agree about careless drivers. I mean, yeah, the thrill of going 300 kph on a motorbike is amazing, but not something I'd do all the time.

I'm just saying that the Hayabusa is a great looking bike and it has awesome performance. It's looks are almost anime-like. It's like some twisted dream came to life.

@ Beast; I understand, dude. I guess it was just time for me to do another rant session. The Hayabusa is great looking. I just don't think I could bring myself to drive one...

@ PTM; Thanks a million! Too bad that million's not in dollar's, huh? Anyone else got pic's of the Lawmaster?

Do any of you possibly have more pic's of;

Judge Dredd's Lawmaster

The Motorcycle of Ghost Rider 2

A '30ish Hot Rod P'Up (Framework & Engine needed mostly)

OR this bike that's attached...

These plus, the Goldberg Crusher & Kaneda's bike from Akira are on my to do list. And, since my mouse is down and I can't build right now, I'm trying to find as many reference pic's as possible as reference for those in the list above. I haveplenty of pic's of the two in this paragraph. I only need more of those four that are listed. You don't have to post them here. You can E-Mail them to me at [url=mailto:junkpile3137@yahoo.com">junkpile3117@yahoo.com[/url] & thanks in advance, guy's! :wink:

I did forget one on my future project's list. But, just soi that I don't feel bad for giving you guy's partial information, I'll fix it.

There will also be; A mod of TTR's Rage Lion, a mod of AdR's Eclipse AND, this...

Image

I do NOT need pic's for any of these. In fact, the first two you guy's couldn't help with anyways... But, I have plenty of pic's of the Tron Lightcycles to do the model. The hardest part, I think, will be deciding on the color...

Well, if I remember correctly, the handlebars would sit upright like that while it was in ground mode & they would kinda fold down for Hover Mode. I might be wrong though...

Here's some onfo on the Mk. III.

I was kinda thinking the same thing... I might just build the Mark III instead of the movie version.

I waas also wondering if anuy of yoou had any better images of this bike/shell from the movie Spawn? I would like to model this one as well. But, the images I have found are terrible! This was the best one!!! :supercrazy:
