Just flippin' channels earlier, top of the show was a bigrig getting taken down by bad guys on motorcycles - looked to me like an FLSTN Deluxe, but a character later claimed it was a "59 panhead", explaining why it ran after an EMP...but three or four of the badguys were on 1125r's.

Can't say I'd want to ride a motorcycle up a standard loading ramp, at highway speed, into the back of an 18 wheeler....

To people like me (who think that if you've seen one Harley, you've seen them all) you could EASILY pass off a "modern" Twin Cam bike as a 59 panhead. I wouldn't know the difference other than MAYBE noticing it didn't have a kickstarter...

I have it downloaded, screenys in a few minutes. She said 79 shovelhead :P

My favorite part is how one of the 1125R's changes into a Ninja (250?) for the scenes when it crashes : D

Nice still Images Froggy. The good thing is the buell had a 250 ninja stunt double.

The shovel head must have been spun around on the kickstand to face it towards the exit seeing as to how there is no real room to spin it around by pushing.

are they wearing CHAIN MAIL?!?! LOL - only the bad guys get such cool costumes...

ROFLMAO - that's awesome! Gotta love hollywood. Though i appreciate them dumping the ninja instead of the 25R.

Yes it was chain mail, they tie it into the story. Without spoiling it, inside that container in the truck is some kind of virus that lives in electronics and metals. The guys wearing the chain mail died when the virus attacked them, but otherwise normal people wouldn't be harmed unless they had a pacemaker or titanium in their body like Ratbuell : )

I don't know...I think they'll be on here soon asking about part numbers for clutch covers. Those last two pics tell the tale!

The new Knight Rider looks as corny as the old Knight Rider--at least the old Knight Rider can blame it on the 80's

Love the new KITT, and Deanna Russo is hot.
And now they are using my bike... nice.

You would think they could find something a BIT closer in looks to a 1125 than a 250 Ninja... and they even used it TWICE!

They could have used a 2008 Ninja at the very least. And I don't know about you guys, but it almost pains me to see my bike laid down--even though I know they were set down carefully, still it freaks me out a little bit.

+1 Fresnobuell. They could have at least used some 1125R front fairings on the Ninja 250.

The easy thing to do would've been to put 1125R scoops and fairing on the 250 Ninja. Kinda like they did with that "Police Bike" on Terminator 2 (it just LOOKED like a Kawasaki police bike)...

Were there 2 Harleys or did the springer turn into a FL for the head on shot in pic 13?

Definitely a springer, and definitely a different bike in #13. Good catch!!
