British car firm Lotus has unveiled its first ever motorcycle - and looks a lot like the famous Light cycle from the Tron movie.

Well, firstly I thought I didn't like it, but now I doBigGrin Don't really like any of the current colours though but I bet it will look good in matt black.
I think a single side rear swingarm and monoshock would have also been way better than the traditional rear shocks, with such a futuristic design the 80's shocks look odd.
Love the comments too about the paddock stand being called training wheelsLOL

These bikes are gorgeous; as there will be only 100 in production, I can imagine the price to be very top end. I'm a huge fan of the Tron movies. I want one! Drool

Well when I win the lottery that is! BigGrin

Here is a link showing some more still shots and closer angles. I prefer the British Racing Green colour myself. Simply stunning! The designer said he wanted to create a truly jaw dropping motor bike. I think he has achieved his goal! All we need now is the video of it being track tested. I cant wait!
