A motorcycle unlike anything on the road
Designed for Christopher Nolan’s Batman films, the Batpod features a custom chassis and enormous 31-inch Hoosier racing tires. The auction catalog describes a Honda 750 engine, a prone riding position and oversized cannon props. Stunt rider Jean-Pierre Goy handled the unusual machine during filming.
Watch: Behind the scenes of The Dark Knight trilogy
Warner Bros. takes viewers behind the scenes of the trilogy in this feature, with Christopher Nolan and members of the cast and crew discussing how the films were made.
It’s a movie collectible, not a ride-home motorcycle
There is an important catch: this example is being sold in non-functional, “rolling only” condition. The fluids have been drained and the battery, fuel tank and throttle controls have been removed. It is a collectible display piece, not a road-ready motorcycle.
The lot includes a custom metal display stand and a certificate of authenticity. The auction catalog notes wear from the vehicle’s use in the films and promotional appearances.
What will Batman’s Batpod sell for?
Propstore’s estimate is £450,000 to £900,000. That is roughly $600,000 to $1.2 million, depending on the exchange rate. Bids can change, so visit the official listing for the latest figures.
