Well if it was shaft driven instead of thrust there is a possibility, but it would take a bit to wind it up first to get the wheel to let go.

I'm still reeling from the discovery that the "German" bike ridden by Steve McQueen in the Great escape was a Triumph 650!

Let's face it - the majority of the viewing public are not bikies - films with bikes in pander to the sensibilities of these people and not to us.

We must increase our number - persuade more people to ride bikes!

Terminator 2 anyone? When the boy (Conner?) is reving his XR (I think, 4 stroke anyway) and the sound dubbed over is a two stroke. And on top of that it doesn't even match with his throttle action.

I saw a low rent porno a bit like that....but that's another story for another day.....

Well the 1st clue was that the cylinders are vertical, unlike the BMW's and Zundapp's

Plus it looks like a Triumph

Well i must admit as i wasn't a biker back in those days i had no idea of this and it did sound cool so i guess even if it is fake most people will think its cooler with the nice 2 stroke sound anyway.

How many upshifts does the xr100 do on terminator 2? And its grown a 2 stroke engine. So often they put 2 stroke sounds to 4 stroke bikes and vice versa

I liked the bits with Rebecca Romijn more than the Trumpy
