Most people on here wont have seen Restless Natives.

Back story. Two kids go round Scotland on their YB100 in fancy dress masks holding up tour buses. They know the game is up and go on one last run for glory.

I await someone posting a better link but I doubt it can be done.

For your eyes only

Roger Moore (well, it probably isn't) being chased on skis by XT500s down a bobsleigh run. If I remember correctly the XT500s are sporting machine gun front indicators which as yet I have not been able to find in the Motrax catalogue.

Easy the Matrix Reloaded, no others have been anywhere near that exciting and realistic.

Not realistic but a very good feat of CGI and filming IMO. In terms of the story-line it's not meant to be realistic anyway. Thumbs Up

What I mean is it kept it hollywood without being OTT the things that where done could have been done the most un realistic part was obviously jumping off of the truck but still it is possible.

Watch Torque or Biker Boyz, they are full of shit, RSV's wheeling at 160mph and sports bike doing 150mph on dirt tracks. Actually don't watch them they are shit Laughing

I can't think of a bike scene which blended excitement and action with believablity like that.

Also with the Matrix even the slightly silly bits were realistic to the environment it was in - while the 'biker' films didn't have any alternate virtual reality environment!

Jackie Chan, Operation condor - and remember he does all his own stunts too (or so I believe - he's shown some skill on a dirt bike in other films too.)

It's a Ducati (if it's the one I'm presuming) - it's primary use will be sitting out a trendy café and the owner won’t know if it’s knackered because it already sounds like it is from new Wink.

Do not try to warm up the bike — that takes time. Instead, only try to realize the truth: there is no bike.

Biker Boyz isn't that bad until the final dirt track drag race at the end.

All of the stunts appear real unlike Torque which is just a nonsense as soon as the intro is finished.

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.

You thought the intro WASN'T Nonsence!


The end of Biker Boyz was brilliant, where he finally gets the sight, and realises his bikes has a 6th gear.

I love who all throughout torque they described his bike as a black custom motorcycle, when all it was was an a standard RSVR. Not one of the main bikes had a race pipe on it, how real is that!

Of course the intro to the original "Taxi!" is awesome too, but not a chase.

lol i forgot how bad that film was,

i doubt even mr rossi can ride a superbike like a trail bike


the jackie chan scene is classic
and the matrix one is good mainly due to the filming of it, some really good angles for a chase sequence, plus you got to give her credit for doing it with no stunt women.

one of the things that annoys me in these Hollywood motorbike/car chases is when they use the wrong sound for the bike/car Thumbs Down
