EXCELLENT! The upcoming sequel to Transformers will have a female motorcycle named Arcee... and someone in Hollywood finally picked a sexy bike to feature! I hope this is correct correct.

Sorry to Burst your Bubble, Damon.

The press released that Micheal Bay has employed Will Kenefick of RetroSBK to build six bikes for the upcoming Transformer 2 Movie. Here is a link to the article: http://transformers.moviechronicles.com/2008-06/th e-custom-built-arcee-motorcycle/

It looks alot like a Honda Hornet. Why will it cost 40k a piece?

That's definitely not the fastest color.

Why do a race of robots need a girl robot?

That'll be some loud robo-sex.

CLANG, BANG, CLANG, BANG!

The new transformer robots are dumb. They have nothing in common with the vehicle the came from.

Take a close look at that bike. I wonder if this is going to start a Left Side Scoop thread.

according to sbk's website it's a:

Freddie Spencer Tribute Bike
CBR1000RR Based, 188hp, 375lbs
Starting at $35,000

So it's not the movie bike, just an example of their work.}

That RetroSBK bike has the absolute dumbest looking exhaust I have ever seen. Sometimes different is not always better.

"Why do a race of robots need a girl robot? "

I heard that was one of the reasons she didn't make it into the first movie. However, I think it's a pretty simple explanation. Why did Jazz act like a rap gangsta'? Each robot learned earth culture from studying the internet, and chose a persona. It would be a simple thing for one of the robots, a totally asexual being, to take on the personality type of a female simply for for the sake of interacting with humans.

However, since they were supposedly getting all their cultural info from the Net, Arcee will very likely be a porno star.

There. That's my allotted geekdom quota for one day.
