I think it was an actual nod to Dredd as a character as they wanted to do a Dredd film ( I may be wrong though)

I'm pretty sure that's the bike that was sighted as THE bike some months ago...even the same shot.

Ah sorry - that wasn't showing up for me a moment ago!
Looks like a cool bike to me.

M.I.K.

That's because it's not on the official page. It's on a fan page everybody keeps mistaking for the official one, (though they've at least now changed the cover photo to make it more obvious).

It is nice .... In keeping with the tone of the movie.  Colour up in Photoshop or gimp in justice dept. colours perhaps?

Yeah I think it was originally supposed to be a Dredd movie but something went wrong with them securing the rights at the time if I remember rightly. Its Pretty much Judge Dredd in all but name anyway.

This reference for the bike turned up over a year ago. I think it was said that this bike was remodeled and used as the Lawmasters in the movie.

That's not the Dredd bike..we were doing comparisons on here months ago and that picture popped up

That bike is a Victory Vision, a concept from 2005 with no relation to the film.

The film bike was identified on biker forums as a modified Suzuki GSX-R... with fatter wheels, btw.

Saw about 30 seconds of Dredd. Looked f'in rad. Stylish and gritty.

From what I recall, and it was a long while ago, it's not that bike but that was used as a reference.

The actual bike was something else according to some bike forum... but the handlebars were shifted back and cowling added at the front.

I think they settled on a Honda GSXR

Old hat info on the Dredd fan page then.  It's info we have been privey to for a long time on our forum but the general movie goer now accessing Facebook Dredd pages won't necessarily know.
