Vehicle Detail
Direct from the futuristic hit movie "PRIEST" starring Paul Bettany, Karl Urban, and Maggie Q comes one of the hand built "Priest" jet bikes. This Suzuki Gladius based custom was used in many scenes as the main transportation for Paul Bettany. For this particular design made for the main characters, the studio started with a new 2009 Suzuki Gladius SFV650. It was stretched in the rear to give it the extra length that a jet powered bike would need. The front forks were modified to accept the huge Diablo 240/40 ZR18 tires. Airbags keep the bike elevated to clear the ground. Seat slides forward and back on 2 metal runners. Molds were made of futuristic technical accessories to add to the exterior with a turbo fan intake section and exhaust ports in the rear. Rear tires are Avon Scorpion 300/35 VR18s. This particular bike was painted flat grey and then heavily "aged" to give it the worn and used look of a world torn apart by war between man and vampires. VEHICLE CONDITION: This bike is in excellent screen used condition. The bike runs and drives. It was bought new for the production so there are almost no miles on the bike. It has sat since filming ended so the bike will need a good tuneup at some point. Shift and brake pedals are custom extensions. Fuel tank is in normal position under a removable cover. Tires are in great shape. There are no turn signals, lights, mirrors etc so they would need to be custom added. This bike is really best used as a prop display since the turning ability of the bike is poor. It was built for desert use and tight turns are not in the design. Clear title.
