Uma's bike from Kill Bill Vol.1

[synaptyx]

As I'm a bit of a bike n00b I'm not sure what it is. Anybody know what she's riding? (don't say Andre Balazs! ) Ooh, the helmet too, what's that? Don't worry, not interested in the leathers.

I'm pretty sure its a US Version of the ZZR600 called the ZX-6. Or it could be a ZZR1100.

[Bendy]

It's a ZZR250 I believe.

[synaptyx]

So it is. Bizarre! Thanks Bendy.

The lid is a custom painted Shoei Z-One.

Te reason she is riding a ZZ-R 250 is that it /looks/ a bit like a bigger bike, and I expect the studio (and probably Uma herself) didn't want an inexperienced major star to get injured on a big bike!

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

Ah! But with a lid on, how can you tell its her and not a lady stunt double lookalike doing all the snazzy scenes?

Thanks MarJay and true hellkat, true.

[Sacarius]

Also it's Japan, it would be more realistic to have a 250-400cc bike especially as the Kill Bill films are based on real life events.
