Make & model of Toecutter's Bike. Any clues?
Anyone got any idea what the hell make/model/year the bike ridden by the Toecutter is? The sort of age I'd guess it is it'd be pretty cheap to buy one and re - build it into a repro. However, it is probabaly so shit a turbo/nitrous kit would become vital. No worries to that, a turbo/nitrous is vital for any bike the sorta age I'm gonna end up owning considering I'm semi-broke.

I believe that his bike would be a Z-1000. As most of the bikes in the film were. Some other bikes I noticed were CB1000's. So it may be one of those.
As for nitrous on a bike like that, you would never need it, or have the guts to use it. Just because it is old does not mean it cannot be rebuilt to its once beautiful and powerful stock form.
Nitrous is mainly for drag racingmay. Most engines using nitrous do not last long.
