Think this guy got a deal ?

Came across this thought I would post it for a conversation piece.

I think that given the upgrades, it was a fairly good deal.

Now, I loves me some Ice Cube but it's not going to make me buy a bike because he sat on the seat.

It's tough to say if he got a good deal or not...I mean Ice Cube did jump that bike off a train...not mention a bunch of wheelies and a serious low side


If the list is accurate on race bits and the guy did a half decent job of putting it together, then it looks like an ok deal to me if you want a 955 for the track.

This is about the fourth "one of a kind" Torque movie bike I've seen on eBay. Something tells me it's not as unique as the seller would have us think.

For me I was looking at the Canadian prices and all that was done to that bike in mods -- Good deal up here --I just wondered if it might have been a decent deal south of me. I would have thought that a movie bike though would have been kept in its original state and tucked away to see if it appreciated in value later. All though the movie in most peoples opinions wasn't great.

It was a good enough deal that I was a bidder on it. I just needed to get my ducks in a row before buying it. Missed out, OH well.

Is the double swing arm really rare? If so, how rare?

'02 was the only year for the 955 with the double sided swingarm. Not rare in the sense of one-of customs but not as common as the single sided version.

I call BS on the whole Icecube thing, but some tasty mods there.

Hey, Wasn't there a guy on eBay selling a bike HE said was the Torque bike? I recall something about Wheelies for Jesus. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PxIYJ3nSprY
