Man,that does not in any way look like it would handle well.... kinda cool.

How do you turn? I dont see any way to move the front wheels

Dam thats a nice piece of art. Def a museum piece. How much is he hoping for? 10k or so? Time is worth that alone i would say. Hes done a bloody nice job of it.

from what I have seen and heard of this thing on cltc the original is very hard to handle. there is only one person who has driven it and that is the stunt driver from the movie.

Holy shat, its been re-listed at 100,000 buy it now. The last one ended at 30,000 and the reserve wasnt met, thats way too much for that thing...i wouldnt value it at over 15,000

100k, F*&^! That is a lot for a motorbike that isnt licensed. I would rather a Ferrari. Probably would of cost about 10k to make. Machining costs.

this guy lives in Australia, it took him two years to build this, and he turned and sold it to a Japanese collector for $400,000 USD

If only it went faster than 4 mph, it might be worth it.
