Titan Motorcycle Inks Marvel Movie Deal

27 March 2000


    PHOENIX - Titan Motorcycle Co. of America announced today that it has 
reached an agreement with Marvel Enterprises, Inc. Under the terms of the 
agreement, Titan will produce a one-of-a-kind X-Men motorcycle, which will be 
featured in the much-anticipated July 14, 2000 release by 20th Century Fox of 
"The X-Men" -- based on Marvel Comics' best-selling series for more than 20 
years.

    As the leading character's  motorcycle, the specially commissioned Titan
will be featured prominently in the movie, whose star lineup includes Star
Trek's Patrick Stewart, Halle Berry ("Bulworth"), Anna Paquin ("The Piano"),
and Ian McKellen ("Gods and Monsters") as Magneto.  The custom(TM) model will
also make cameo appearances in pre-release promotions.

    X-men fans can anticipate the production of two separate toys, with both
toys and packaging sporting the Titan logo.  A collectible diecast replica of
the starring Titan motorcycle will be produced as well.

    "We are pleased to be associated with this long-anticipated release, which
already has such a solid following," said Mark Green, director of marketing.
"Marvel Enterprises and its cast of adventure characters are known the world
over, and we are especially enthusiastic about the potential for global market
exposure," he said.

    Founded in 1994, Titan Motorcycle Co. of America is a premier designer,
manufacturer and distributor of high-end, American-made, V-twin engine
motorcycles marketed under various Titan trademarks.  Titan's unique,
hand-built configurations, including the Gecko(TM), Roadrunner(TM),

designed, volume-produced, performance motorcycles.  Manufactured at the
company's corporate headquarters and manufacturing facility, and available
with a variety of customized options and designs, Titan large displacement
motorcycles are sold through a network of over 80 domestic and international
