WOW I HAD THE PLEASURE OF RIDING THE ACTUAL BIKE FROM THE MOVIE GHOST RIDER!!! it was a fully customized x1 done in los angeles.such a sweet sound to hear dual exhaust exit under the seat.... man 128 rwhp. fully polished,chrome every thing. dual stage 2 bottle NOS system, one plumed to each head... you should get 243 rwhp with the button push but we don t dare do it. It has race ecm and so much more im going try and post pics on photobucket.com. I followed this bike up a little fast canyon run we got here called imigration canyon i was at 135mph and this bike just ripped me a new one all i heard was noise and it was so farrr gone. and he said we were going to have a nice relaxing ride, well we did the canyon in 10 minutes!!.... So the bike is one seven made for the movie. 1st one gets wrecked at start of the movie 2nd one as well. bike 3 is sold and sits in a motorcycle museum here on west coast. I cant remember where he said it was... ah bikes 4-7 were raffled of in some sort pepsi cola prize give away.. SO THIS GUY BUYS A SOBI DRINK. every day and somehow he got an entry in the raffle every time he bought this SOBI DRINK. so they send him a package fed ex saying you won this bike and he thinks its a joke so he sends it all back................wow, so then they send it back and say hey you won this bike its worth 17,500.00 usd. so a truck comes and drops this bike to him and HIS F@#$%^@ WIFE SAYS YOU CANT HAVE THAT!! hahahaha so here is where it gets so awsome. his wife makes him sell it, my brother see s it online up for sale here in our state ut. on ksl.com for 14,000.00 usd and talks this guys wife into selling it to him in 3 1\2 payments of 4,000.00 each. 249 people already tried that. so now he has this sick bike. whew....

I just found the smaller die cast of the Ghost Rider X1 on clearance at a Meijer's in Northern Kentucky on my trip home for the 105th. I had never known of it's existence until then...

Ghost Rider die cast X1

It's a little over 2 & 3/4" long.

I can't figure out why it's part of the 'Titanium Series' as there's no darn titanium on it at all,

Paintwork is far too cheesy for me but I LOVE THE EXHAUSTS!!! Is it possible in any way to get those?
Makes it sound almost Ducatiesque

Sweet ass bike! Your brother is a lucky mofo. Too bad the movie wasn't better. lol

Quick suggestion: If you shoot another video of it, do it in the daylight. Thanks for sharing.

I believe American Sportbike was involved with the building of those bikes...

Bartimus, you are correct. Al Lighton at American Sport Bike assisted with the design of the modifications to these bikes for the movie. Definitely cool, though. Would love to have gotten my hands on one.

Close. The FIRST bike was made in a 5 day rush for producer's approval. After that, they built 6 more that were similar to that first one but identical to each other. All were from Australia, at least one had a 99 rotor on it, most had 2000 rotors on them. Lots of billet dress up parts, but definitely more show than go. The nitrous isn't real. Hey, it's Hollywood, nothing is at it appears.

I suspect that the exhaust systems won't last long. They didn't need bikes to last long, they just needed them to look cool. They were originally going to plumb the underseat exhaust a bit different and I told them that if they connected the cans to the frame, they wouldn't last a days shooting...they put the isolator stiffeners in to shut down some of the relative movement of the engine to the frame, but I suspect that even with that, the exhausts will be short lived beasts.

We busted butt to scare up all the parts they needed and get them to Australia in a timely fashion. The bikes WERE built in a VERY short time. We helped with a few parts on Johnny blaze's daytime easy rider based chopper too.
