What bike did Prince own? Does anyone know what bike Prince owned during the Purple Rain period. I think it's a Honda but I can't figure out what the type was...
I want to have one that looks just like the one used in the movie...  [Edited 6/26/07 5:50am] | |

From the shop that did the bike:
I did the bike back in 1984. It is a Honda 400 automatic. I believe the year to be about 1980 or so. It was bought along with two stunt bikes that weren't autos brand new from a dealer as leftover models. The automatic had its Comstar wheels converted to spokes to resemble the stunt bikes. The fairng is a brand name Kutter. I bought them from a company in Iowa I believe named the Kutter company. The three seats are one off,with hot pink velour inserts custom made in Drag Specialties upholstery deaptment. The sissy bar was a standard Drag spec. item. The handlebars are the 6 bend variety. As for the bikes today...one of the stunt bikes remains purple and is on display at Paisley Park Studios in Chanhassen, MN. I redid Princes bike along with the thrashed stunt bike in black and gold for the movie Grafiti Bridge in about 1990. As for Sport Wheels having any of the bikes..doubtful...but any thing is possible. What they do have is a replica Kutter fairing that I sold them years back. They tell everyone that its off Princes bike.....wrong. Any other questions ?? I'd be more than happy to answer.....Tom. ===== I WENT BACK AND CHECKED MY RECORDS TO BE SURE. ITS ACTUALLY A 1981 HONDA 400A Studies have shown the ass crack of the average Prince fan to be abnormally large. This explains the ease and frequency of their panties bunching up in it. |
