Movie and TV Motorcycles..... - Motorcycle-Journal Forums

Nexus242 · 09-18-2005, 07:17 PM

VJust taking Pinhy thread idea to the next level. Post a movie or TV show where a motorcycle was used, please no brief scenes or background clutter. Then some else names the make and model of motorcycle used in the movie.

So if posted: What was the motorcyle in James Bond's Tomorrow Never Dies??

The answer is: a BMW RC1200

Okay I'll start off with a few questions.

Q: What was the bike in Catwoman??
Q: What was the bike in Top Gun??
Q: What bike did Dog race in Biker Boyz??
Q: What was the bike in Judge Dredd??
Q: What were the bikes used on "CHiPs"??

Pinhy · 09-18-2005, 07:22 PM

no clue x 5. im sure research could be done, but im not in the mood

stevie c · 09-18-2005, 08:18 PM

CHiPS bikes.
Original ones were Kawasaki 1000's but in the remake CHiPs '99 they used BMWs.

As a side note, in the TV gameshow 'name your price' ponch almost won the street version of the original bike a '78 Kawasaki Z1-R.

Google is a wonderful thing!

What was the bike in I, Robot?

MV Agusta, SPR

I know, it's not how your supposed to play...

**Louis** · 09-18-2005, 08:56 PM

Ok I'll play fair this time.

Trinity's bike in Matrix Reloaded. (An easy one, I'm sure)

c50tiger · 09-18-2005, 09:46 PM

Catwoman: DuCATi Monster 600 (elsewhere in the movie she almost gets hit by a Jaguar.. don't the writers think they're clever)

Top Gun: Kawasaki GPZ R 750

Biker Boyz: haven't actually seen it - Kid Rock played Dog, right? Since he was on a chopper, I'm gonna guess it was a HD.

Judge Dredd: Got me...

CHiPs: already called by Stevie

Louis, to be precise: I, Robot (which I keep wanting to type "I, Ribit" for some reason and which I just watched last night) - was an MV Agusta F4 SPR.

The 2000 remake of 'Gone in 60 Seconds' used an MV Agusta 750 F4 S.

My turn, throw out an easy one:

2004 movie "Torque" - of all the sportbikes in that movie, only one is American - what is it?

To be a little more precise, they were KZ1000's, I forget the lettered suffix however, (I used to own a KZ1000J).
