The engine and the frame are surrounded by artfully sculpted fiberglass bodywork that is highlighted by some amazing organic textures and shapes that are vertebrae-inspired. It’s also equipped with front and rear disc brakes that give it sufficient stopping power.

It has no rear or front suspension and limited sound suppression, which means it’s incredibly loud. Johnny’s custom hard-tail chopper turns into the Hell Cycle, which is an organic combination of bone and metal on two wheels with a seriously bad attitude that’s fantasy-driven. Johnny Blaze (Nicolas Cage) is a stunt man who becomes a motorcycle-riding bounty hunter for the Devil himself and is called “Ghost Rider”.

Here are the specs according to Bad Ass Helmet Store Movie Bikes: Ghost Rider Bike Specifications – Movie Bikes A $300,000 BuildĪccording to Volo Auto Sales, the “Ghost Rider” Hell Cycle cost $300.000 to build. The valve covers have always had distinctive shapes, which helped true Harley enthusiasts to know what kind of engine they were looking at simply by the shape of the valve covers. An interesting note that only Harley experts know about is that the design of the engines has been evolving throughout the years. In 1948, it replaced the Knucklehead engine and was continuously manufactured by Harley until it was replaced by the shovelhead in 1965. It’s a two-cylinder (with two valves per cylinder) pushrod V-twin engine. The name panhead, BTW, comes from the rocker covers’ distinct shape that resembles a pan turned upside-down. In fact, according to Hollywood Star Cars, the custom built panhead chopper had a Harley-Davidson engine.

Of course, the flames were CGI but the motorcycle does exist. It was never street legal though and, if the engine was run for too long, it would have melted the fiberglass. Most people who saw the film assumed that the bike was entirely CGI, which is why it’s so interesting that there was a real bike that’s actually somewhat rideable. However, it was 11-feet long and weighed more than 500 pounds! It consisted of a chrome shell that was really fiberglass and had been molded around a chopper from Australia that was custom-made. Contrary to popular opinion, there was a real motorcycle built for the 2007 “Ghost Rider” movie starring Nicolas Cage.
