"For a mere $100,000 (OBO) you can own a working replica of the Dark Knight Batpod. That’s right…it actually works.
The frame and all tubing were built from hardened steel and welded together for an unbelievable rendition of this famous vehicle. The covers and arm guards, which are formed with high tensile strength fiberglass, hide the actual engine which is a high output 650cc 4 stroke, water cooled engine with direct port nitrous injection delivering amazing power in a compact shell if it were ever needed. The front and rear tires measure 508 millimeters across and it is outfitted with grappling hooks, grenade launchers, and 50 caliber machine guns for those traffic jams on the freeway. (No… they don’t really work.) The pod has never been ridden on the street but has been tested in a controlled environment. This one-off custom would be the perfect addition for the collector who has it all, or for a museum piece that will draw a crowd like nothing else.
But before you go spending all of that money on this unique ride, you must consider three things:
* The bike isn’t street legal.
* It ships with a missing chain so you can’t ride it.
* If you replace the chain, you will likely get killed trying to handle it.
Still, that’s the kind of awesome manly thing every guy wants on their tombstone:
Here lies (Insert name here)
19(whatever)-2010
He crashed spectacularly while riding a Batpod
See you in Hell"
