RoboCop's new motorcycle spotted on the streets of Toronto [w/video]

When it comes to crime-fighting cops, few compare to the awesomeness of RoboCop. So when we spotted this blacked out custom Kawasaki Z1000 on the prowl with our childhood hero behind its handlebars, our prime directive quickly became to find out more.

Although the city of Toronto may be a far cry from the crime-ridden Detroit backdrop in the original movie, the RoboCop remake is currently being filmed in the capital of Ontario (now doubling as the dystopic Detroit setting).

Judging by this recent video clip, it looks like Robo finally traded in his futuristic Ford Taurus in favour of a much quicker set of two-wheels and paid a visit to Batman's tailor for an updated makeover. The new star studded cast also includes actors Samuel L. Jackson, Gary Oldman, Jay Baruchel and Michael Keaton.
