Est. $100,000-$120,000 The Road Warrior (1981) Screen Used Kawasaki Z-1 Motorcycle Driven by Vernon Wells as "Wez" - This iconic motorcycle was screen used during the filming of the 1981 film "The Road Warrior" (Mad Max 2). The bike was driven by Vernon Wells, who portrayed "Wez", the lead biker of Lord Humungus' gang. The motorcycle was based on a Kawasaki Z-1 motorcycle and is equipped with a custom fairing, Henry Abe wheels and a kangaroo hide seat. The engine has been modified with a Rajay turbocharger mounted on the left side, and the bike was studio distressed. Mad Max 2 was a box office success, and popularized the post-apocalyptic/punk genre in film and fiction writing. It has since become a cult film with fan clubs and "road warrior" themed activities continuing into the 21st century. It is now widely regarded as one of the greatest action movies ever made as well as one of the greatest sequels ever made. This vehicle is currently on display in a museum. Shipping will be at the expense of the buyer, and the auction house will help facilitate shipping arrangements, if necessary. The item is located in Missouri and will be accompanied by a bill of sale. According to our seller, this motorcycle was acquired from Planet Hollywood and was originally sold to the casino by the vehicle coordinator who worked on the film.
