EDIT: I'd rather have the R8 West Coast Customs made, but this'll work :P It needs higher exhaust though, like those Japanese crotch rockets. That'd sound a lot more tron like. Still... It'd be pretty sweet to see rolling down the highway.

On top of that the ergonomics look absolutely painful for and more than a spin around the parking lot. It not meant to be a long distance rider, of course, it is meant to go from the trailer to the show and back again when the show is over. If that's what you want in a bike then that's cool, but when I get on a bike it's to ride and go fast in the twisties and I usually do 400 or more miles in a day. I have the closest to perfect bike for my style of riding:

Yeah, but with the new design, you've got elbow room. The classic design always seemed cramped and uncomfortable to me.

Post by: Scyphi on December 31, 2011, 06:52:14 AM: Now that I think about it, it probably wouldn't be street legal here in Idaho either, because I believe it would need the mirrors and the blinkers and so forth, and I don't see any on our Tron bike here.
