I've been kicking this around as well...

First off... I really love the new Super Cycle. I love the way it looks and I want one so bad that it hurts.

But I can't give up my first love..

I love the (reg.) Light-Cycle... Nothing can change my heart on this... I LOVE IT...

It's so cool that the Light-Cycle is one of the main symbols of TRON. Nothing could ever look so awesome...

The new Super Cycle is the next best thing... But never a replacement...

What is your thoughts???

I love the fact that Syd Mead had the opportunity to create the lightcycles in the full computed-with riders on the outside-look.

I love both! (Although I do find myself sliding back towards the original--I can't lie!)

Wouldn't it be cool if you could use all the different MP characters to pilot the supercycle?

uhg. the new cycle sounds so slow!! thats what I hate about it. Other than that its okay. It just doesnt have that zippy feel of the original

I prefer the original because its faster in my opinion I mean sure the SLG may have a higer top speed but you lose all that when you turn. I've had rings (or squares in this case) ran around me by an old cycle

I agree...

There is something about the biker being inclosed in a cockpit/cab style that makes the classic Light-Cycle special.

I think my preference for the old cycle (in addition to being just plain old nostalgia) is somewhat related to Suzzy's post.

I just can't see that graceful, long and curvy Super Lightcycle being confined to 90° turns. I think if I saw it outside the context of the grid, driving like a normal motorcycle (banking in turns and such) I'd like it much more. In fact I'd prefer to see it in such a setting instead of the regular lightcycle.

OMG brain storm! Wouldn't be awsome if you were on the grid with the regular lightcycle and broke out (in a scene similar to the movie) and the bike, being introduced in the new freeform setting, changed into the Super cycle! Like in order to deal with the more complex environment (full range of movement) the code was forced to upgrade (which was accomplished by User power or something). Dang it's too bad the use of the Super lightcycle has already been established, because that would have been a kick ass way to introduce it.

Or maybe something like you're on an old system, but you drive onto a new system and it upgrades as you pass the "system barrier" or something. Cliff, I'm absolutely in love with this idea of transformation now. I think it'd be really cool in a sequel or whatever to have a sitation where your on an old system and you traverse to a new system in realtime and *something* transforms. I think the recognizer would make a good candidate (we all know the old style recognizers are defunct, but now there's freedom to create a new replacement and introduce it in an entirely awsome manner!)

Being a motorcyclist myself, the super lightcycle outside the context of the grid wouldn't be capable of banking and turning. Syd based the design off real-world dragbikes which do nothing but go straight ahead and remain legal only on dragstrips. Think of them as the two-wheeled version of the funny car.

That IS a cool idea, Steve. Err, mind if I, err, borrow it should the occasion arise?

No, in fact I encourage you to use it.

It's a good thing that Tron isn't the real world then, because it still be awsome to drive around the world freeform on a super cycle

Something just occurred to me -- why do they call them "funny cars?"

I'm not entirely certain, but I seem to remember hearing somewhere that it's because they use nitrous oxide injected fuel to get the huge engine power. As you may well know, nitrous oxide is also known as laughing gas, hence "funny car." (Though I also seem to remember it's a misnomer since the nitrous used in cars is not the same as the nitrous used by the dentist.)
