Jurassic World Motorcycle To Be Auctioned Off

Real-life dinosaurs have proven to be an awful idea throughout the four Jurassic films but there's nothing wrong with riding a motorcycle that once raced raptors.

While you might not actually be able to ride with the raptors anytime soon, your opportunity to own the bike Owen Grady used during his pursuit of the I-Rex in Jurassic World will soon be up for auction.

The bespoke bike, featured racing alongside Raptors in the film will be sold by eBay to the highest bidder, with the proceeds going to Triumph's nominated fundraising partner, The Distinguished Gentleman's Ride. Three Scramblers were customized for the film. One was presented to Chris Pratt as a gift after filming, the second is displayed at Triumph's headquarters in the UK and a third is up for auction. This incredible once in a life time opportunity gives motorcycle collectors and Jurassic World enthusiasts alike the chance to experience the incomparable ride a Triumph provides while owning a piece of rare and authentic cinematic memorabilia.

The Scrambler is based on the brand's iconic Bonneville model, combining classic off-road influences with the Hinckley firm's signature twin cylinder, 865cc engine. Triumph has been a long-standing favorite of Hollywood superstars past and present including; Steve McQueen, Marlon Brando and more recently Bradley Cooper, George Clooney and Ryan Reynolds.

In the production of Jurassic World, three bikes were used for the iconic raptor-ride scene. One was presented to Chris Pratt after the film premiered, the other sits in Triumph Motorcycles UK offices, and the third will be on eBay for a bidding war this Thursday, July 23 at 7 PM GMT. The proceeds will fund The Distinguished Gentleman's Ride, which is a ride that celebrates classy bikers and ultimately raises money for research in beating prostate cancer.

Owning a piece of Jurassic World will make somebody a part of history. World crossed the $600 million mark at the domestic box office this week, and on the heels of the largest box office opening weekend of all-time, currently sits as the fourth highest grossing film worldwide and will likely pass The Avengers for the bronze spot.

Anybody going to fork out the dino-sized cash to take this bad boy home?
