What is the bike Billy is riding?
I doubt I'll ever get an answer on this but what is the big bike that Billy rides? The one that looks like it's some sort of straight six. I don't see any sort of decernable branding on it.
shareIt's a Honda CBX 1000, google around and you'll find it.
Thanks!
shareThe CBX 1200 wasn't introduced in the US market until after this movie was released (The movie was shot long before it was released, as you can tell by the cloths, cars, music, etc.). The CBX had a twin-cam engine and a six into two exhaust. I owned one (an 83) for a short while until insurance ate me alive.
The bike in the movie was a 1970's vintage Benelli 750 sei.

The Benelli was based on the Honda 550 four, had a single cam engine and a showy six pipe exhaust.
lol i'll show you a straight 6... i could resist the aqua teen hunger force line, if anyone is familiar
shareGuess we could call Tom Savini and ask him; on the commentary track I think he mentions that he bought that bike after the shoot.
