Hello All,
Lazy day and started searching XJ pics and other stuff and came across this you tube video. Suppose to be a Bondified Seca, whether it is or not it's still a pretty cool motorcycle chase...
what are your thoughts as to what it might be?

Yeah, and the prick never, i say never, say never again, got any road rash when he laid it down.
The thing with films is , let's all pretend, oh go on, can i pretend aswell, go on pretend, steam and piss come to mind.

It's a typical movie "chameleon."

It's a Bond-itized Seca 650 Turbo some of the time; and a (barely) similarly-faired albeit obviously smaller dirt bike, "tarted up" to look like the turbo Seca.

It switched back and forth as the scenes dictated; the Turbo didn't "get any air."

What I did notice was when they were back at Q's shop while it was still being built, they had an XJ frame and a YICS motor sitting around.

Ah yes the willful abandonment of reality it takes to watch a Bond film. I figured it was a dirt bike at times, I've seen that in other movies. But I also figured some of you guys would know better, the only other XJ I've seen was a Midnight Maxim 20 years ago my neighbor had. Oh, and the road rash...that's because of his his special motorcycle tuxedo, probably kevlar with butt pads...

Whatever it was, it was a great bit of stunt riding.

I never noticed till now it has a spoiler. does that make it go faster?

Hah! Interesting find. I have heard that Sean Connery was the best bond. I have yet to see if this is true or not though. And was that woman in a starlet, or was that a pugeot?

Good Morning,
Yes, Spoilers like racing stripes will definitely make your bike go faster or at least appear to.

Chacal,
How about those rocket boosters? They would be great when passing 18 wheelers...

Fun video.

When I see Bond storming the fortress of some beautiful, foreign secret agent's womanhood, I secretly curse my high school guidance counselor for not suggesting secret agent as a career choice.
