US$55k. I agree it does look uncomfortable and unwieldy. It may be more stable at higher speeds. I think they are riding it slow for the camera.

The new version of the Tron Lightcycle is powered by an electric motor. The bike has no combustion engine and is said to be good for a top speed of 100 mph. The bike you see here has the glowing blue lines. However, it lacks the neck snapping agility of the movie bikes and doesn’t trial a blue wall to destroy bikes behind it.
The batteries under that awesome bike bodywork are lithium-ion based and can run for an hour at a time and the battery recharges in 35 minutes.

Can only run 1 hour before a recharge!
There are a few frames of it at higher travelling speeds in this clip:

Maybe a soft fluffy pillow would be better protection. Not sure if that is the image they are going for.
