Hollywood star and Ducati hit New York Streets for Wall Street sequel

84bGossip columns and Hollywood media outlets were buzzing as Shia LaBeouf sat in the motorcycle saddle again for a scene in an upcoming movie.

The young Hollywood heartthrob weaved his way through movie-made traffic in the streets of New York City as he shot a scene for "Wall Street 2: Money Never Sleeps".

Sharing the screen with LeBeouf in the sequel to the 80's classic is a black Ducati Streetfighter.

Seen recently in the summer blockbuster 'Transformers 2', LeBeouf is reportedly having an on-set romance with his British co-star, Carey Mulligan. They have reportedly been seen enjoying each others company in between takes.

The of the original stars of 'Wall Street' Michael Douglas, will reprise his role of Gordon Gecko for the sequel.

"It’s 22 years later," explains Douglas, "Gordon has done about eight years in jail and got out in about 2001. The picture predominantly focuses on these last couple of years on Wall Street, which nobody anticipated."

Shia LeBeouf and his Ducati Streetfighter"We shot the first one in 1986 and it was a wild, wild colorful time," remembers the 'greed is good' actor, "And here we have both a train crash and a larger-than-life period leading up to that train crash. It’s an exciting time to make a picture about Wall Street!"

This isn't Shia LeBeouf's first time on a motorcycle in a movie. The young actor enjoyed the retro look of a Harley-Davidson Softail Springer Classic in the last edition of Indiana Jones.

Appearing with Harrison Ford, Shia LaBeouf rode a 2007 Harley-Davidson Softail Springer Classic customized to reflect the movie’s 1957 period setting. The bike’s starring role came during one of the film’s signature action-packed chase scenes, and featured Shia LaBeouf tearing through a college campus with Harrison Ford along for the ride as a passenger.

Ironically, it LeBeouf who appeared as a passenger on a Pink Ducati with Megan Fox in June's Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.

When the motor is started or the rider keys-on the motorcycle, the steering fails to unlock sometimes. If the rider is unaware about the lock, he might accelerate with the steering still lock, which might lead to a major crash.
