'Tis a pretty sweet bike, they had some awesome shots in the Matrix.

If you haven't seen it yet, I'd see it just to see the badboy in action.

 

i thought it was wierd they only had a 996 and not a 998 in the movie. but then i realized that the matrix world is set in 1999 so i guess truck full of 996s would be appropriate. i've never seen them haul bikes like that though. arent they usualy crated?

I noticed that too. They all always crated. Even if you ship a used one, they are usually crated up. However, it wouldn't make for a good movie

Atleast they got the right sound for the Ducati... drool

 

yes it was good sounding. now the bike that trinity used to blow up that building at the beginning and the ending of the movie. that sounded like an inline 4. revvy. it looked kinda like a blackbird but i really didnt get a good glimpse of it and i didnt see the trademark dual exhaust of the XX on that bike. anyone ID it?

I didn't even think about it, I just figured it was the Duc again.

It wouldn't have been as good if Trinity had to rip open a crate with a crowbar, haha.

 

Ya, bike was sweet in the movie

 

you guys need to go on and buy one!! check it out http://www.chris-gordon.com (not trying to hijack the thread of course, sorry if i stepped on anyones toes)!

 

did anybody notice the complete lack of dry clutch noise?

 

Yea it was sweet, I also liked the part where the cop cars were gaining on it too Other than that it looked nice.

And then put it together, topped off all the fluids...

 

ya, thats what bugged me... when they werent going too damn fast and then they were accelerating as fast as possible and cop car was keeping up

 

she was watching oncoming traffic. its a movie.

at least she out-braked the 18-wheeler.

Yep and she locked the rear wheel and came to a complete stop with it locked. She took the MSF course

 

I noticed that too, lol.

 

that bike was a 748...i watched the making of that movie...she couldnt handle the 996 so the used a custom 748...

 

maybe she couldnt keep the front wheel down...
