Do you remember the famous Hollywood Movie Tron: Legacy?? the science fiction movie. The beautiful illuminated Tron light motorcycles in the movie were just like something from the alien world. By watching them I am sure you must have said to yourself “Ohh Boy, I wish that I could have one, but then surely make yourself realized that it is creation of 3D visual computer graphics.”
Now that Tron cycle can be yours in reality. Its replica has been built for Andrews Collection, which are the biggest collections for the car in United Sates.
This illuminated black colored steel structure is inspired from computer animated motorcycle from the movie Tron: Legacy and is totally customized. It is built for normal cruising rides. It is made from steel structure, which further is covered with glass fibre cowling( cowling is the covering which is used for engine covering in automobiles. It can be used for reduction in drag and directional cooling of engine).
The illumination effects of neon blue glow come from electroluminescent stripsprovided into tire coverings, rims of wheel and over the body of motorcycle, when they illuminate.
The rider of the bike has to lie almost in astride (leg on each side of it) horizontal position to drive it. Its constant mesh 6 speed transmission system is controlled by foot resting on feet pegs. The throttle and brake control is from handlebar. Its hubless wheels are custom modified wheels of truck; they are fitted over two rims with counter rotation spinning between each other. A chain driven friction drum is for brake control. Spring loaded front suspension and a rigid type for rear.
Wet lubrication sump system checks for lubrication of all areas, thereby it eliminates the use pipes and hoses for oil supply. This helps in making its design streamlined sleek one. The model has been auctioned by Sothbey’s (New York City headquarter based British corporation. It is world’s largest broker of fine and decorative art, jewelry, real estate, and collectibles etc.) at a price tag of $77,000 to an anonymous bidder.
