Most motorcycle models seen in the movies can be had at a local dealership. But one iconic movie motorcycle hasn't been available because it wasn't even real. Until now.

    Try to imagine it without the fairing, the geometry is in fact not that far from an old school chopper.

    Also certain recumbent bicycles have a pretty similar geometry, with the feet positioned even higher than the seat. They ride really well once you roll, just to get your feet of the ground and accelerate from 0 is what takes some getting used to because of the forward facing legs. However, this should be much easier without having to pedal to accelerate. Recumbent cycles are btw significantly faster than conventional cycles.
