  • Interesting fictional bike...

    Just picked up the new game "No More Heroes" for my Nintendo Wii. The main character drives a very...interesting...bike.





    Thought this might turn a head or 2 here.

    I think Batman's new bike wins, personally.

      Spagthorpe forever!

      The admittedly better graphic images of these modern fictional motorcycles in no way make up for the paucity of their creators' imaginations. For true flights of unbridled imagination, check out this site:-

        Better than you think

        That bike for the batman movie is a WORKING cycle! I can't wait to see what they have it do.

        I read an article a while back explaining that the motor is actually INSIDE the wheel. That's how it gets away with the insect-like middle.

        Doesn't look like it would corner very well though, aren't those wheels a too broad?

          But what it lacks in cornering, it'll make up in stability, especially with the engine in the wheel. Methinks it'll be just a bit more than those guys with custom choppers and fat rear wheels have to deal with.

          Besides, he could just fire one side's machine guns at a time to help swing it around .

              great find. I'd be more than a little worried doing 80mph on that flimsy thing though.

              But that one didn't have hydrolics to go bouncing wit da homies. can't be cool unless you can lower your ride for style mm? =p

                Sure, but changing the oil would be a booger...
