[Re-run]

I thought I read that it was a cb350. The 2 cylinder version.

[MarkPBG]

It is, but in the original movie she rode a stock showroom bike, sport bike I think. This is a custom built cafe style bike, so it cooler.

good read on the build of the bike.
It was a bike builder who said... the character would be riding a bike like this,.. I think it fits her perfectly.

“I bought all three Larsson books and read them in three days: the character of Lisbeth Salander is killer. As I read the books, I kept thinking that Lisbeth’s bike would be the kind of bike most 20-somethings with limited financial recourses would ride. She wouldn’t have an expensive modern bike: she would have an inexpensive older bike that would be customized to fit her personality.”

Bike is very cool. cb350 i believe, and the movie is pretty good too.

[MarkPBG]

Yeah, but in the movie, she is a very successful investigator and does make very good money. But still, the new cafe style bike is MUCH more suited to the character. I agree.

Yeah,the cafe is cool.Has anyone seen the original one.I think it was in French,maybe?Pretty good movie.Had some pretty coarse spots,though.I saw an ad for the new one the other day.I really dig the helmet she is wearing.Its more of a modern looking helmet,but id like to have one

[MarkPBG]

I saw the original. It was a good movie, i thought.

I watched all three movies.  They were in Swedish, not French, and they were fantastic.  I was watching the Lisbeth character, not the bike.

[shinyribs]

Ah,Swedish.My bad.Thanks Peter

"Lisbeth" looks much better in the new Sherlock Holmes movie,btw

Just realized, they got a different actress for the new one. Original Lisbeth was played by Noomi Rapace, the new Lisbeth is played by Rooney Mara. The new actress actually went and got all the ear piercings for the role, while the original actress had the much more interesting story of "having already had them from her punk rock days" and just re-using them. I thought the new actress looked different, but until I looked it up, I wasn't sure.
