Featured Anyone Notice Idris Elba's Bike In Hobbs & Shaw

Noticed in the previews a few times now and each time I catch the frame on the bike and think...That's a speed. Finally had a minute to look it up and sure enough; appears to be an RS with with some mods; stubby cans, new headlight, maybe some dash work but otherwise unchanged...well, apart from its ability to drop, twist like a pretzel, and slide under a semi's trailer.

 

Ok, now that Idris rides a Speed Triple, he truly IS the "Sexiest Man Alive". I'd have placed him in the Top 10 before OhCrumOn's post.

 

Not normally a fan of twin under seat cans on Speedies but they look the nuts

 

These stubby cans look brutal! I want a pair!

 

More importantly that was shot in Glasgow.



Merchant city - Candleriggs.

 

That's the stuntman, seen here with Idris

 

Yuhh, stuntman is a big fella.

 

They look similar bikes but if you look closely you will see the differences. To start you off. 1 the cans are in different positions, 2 the seat is different and 3 the tank has been shaved down. Through the grapevine ive heard they used 10 x speed triples in the film.

 

I think a couple of triumphs were used on the last mission impossible film. A tiger and either a speed or street triple while Tom Cruise's character used a BMW R nineT. I watched the film before I joined the triumph family so I didn't fully pay attention.

 

A Speed and Street triple were used in "The Hitmans Bodyguard" too

Triumphs were used in Mission Impossible 2 as well.

 

The new trailer.

 

Can't wait to see it.Maybe I could have been a stunt double many years agoThe one with the Cd175!

 

I saw the film on friday, I found it hilariously entertaining, and full of weird and wonderful 'physics' as per all F&F films. I loved it!
