Want a real life Tron lightcycle? Just cough up US$55,000.
This is possibly the bike with the most uncomfortable riding position I've ever seen:

Looks like the stupidest bike ever, the original is a virtual bike that can never be duplicated in real life. There is just no way you could ride that bike for ANY length of time and not have at least one near miss/close call......

That huge front tire and the riding position don’t look like they make for a comfortable or easily maneuverable ride to me. You would buy one just because you can and for no other reason I would say.

For fifty five Large I want to see this thing going balls out down the expressway, not 5 mph in a parking lot with some punk squid trying not to drop his "light cycle" in front of his groupies.

Horrible, pointless, and down-right silly.

Resurrecting an old thread, but some friends and I (all of us being non-riders) are having a debate over whether a cycle design like that would be horribly unmaneuverable due to the width (either in the real world or, for that matter, inside the Tron world). It just looks terribly clunky. Wouldn't it be difficult to turn with wheels that fat? Who on earth designed this thing?

Check this one out... All electric lightcycle that does move. Isn't maneuverable, but is cool!
