These Celebrities Love Their Motorcycles

So many times in movies and TV shows it’s stuntmen doing the riding for motorcycle scenes. But even if some actors can’t mount up and ride for insurance reasons during filming, there are some celebrities who at least enjoy riding motorcycles in their free time.

Check out Gordon Ramsay’s $1.5 million Aston Martin.

Keanu Reeves

Most people are aware Keanu Reeves is big into motorcycles, especially after he invested in ARCH Motorcycle. The man has said some in Hollywood have taken issue with his engaging in such a risky hobby, but ever since he learned to ride while shooting a movie in Germany back in the 1980s he’s been hooked.

Reeves owns a nice but not overly large collection of motorcycles, most of them comfy cruisers, although he does have a wicked Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R.

Ryan Reynolds

Unlike other actors, Ryan Reynolds has a thing for motorcycles, not cars. He has a growing collection which includes plenty of café racers, something Reynolds himself has admitted is a weakness of his.

Reynolds even bought a super expensive Arc Vector all-electric motorcycle not too long ago. Sadly, that startup hasn’t survived, but we hope the actor is enjoying his bike.

Ewan McGregor

The Star Wars actor is big into cars and motorcycles, something which was front and center when he and a friend starred in an Apple TV show featuring the pair riding Harley-Davidson LiveWires from the southern tip of Argentina all the way to Los Angeles.

Richard Hammond

Despite what some normies might assume, not all gearheads know how to ride nor want to. But Richard Hammon of Top Gear and The Grand Tour fame has been big into motorcycles long before anyone knew who he was. He even tells a story about having to sell his beloved bike so he could afford basic necessities when he was younger.

Back in 2017 Hammond was seriously injured in a motorcycle crash while filming an episode of The Grand Tour. But that hasn’t kept him from riding since.

Jason Momoa

By this point most know about Jason Momoa’s love of old Harleys. The man even has a clothing line sold by Harley-Davidson featuring throw-back aesthetics. But Momoa isn’t just into fashion: he once restored a 1936 Knucklehead with help over a few years’ time.

Christian Bale

While he’s well-known for being an actor who gets fully immersed in his roles, including gaining or losing shocking amounts of weight, Christian Bale is big into motorcycles. But he reportedly doesn’t ride on public roads anymore, his wife pleading with him to only ride on closed tracks after their oldest was born. Supposedly, he doesn’t ride at all these days after getting in a brutal accident on a track, but we can’t confirm that.

Orlando Bloom

For actor Orlando Bloom, BMW Motorrad is where it’s at. The man has been spotted countless time by paparazzi riding Bavarians, of which he owns an array of classic and newer models. Among them is a very nice, custom-built S1000R.

Bloom’s girlfriend, Katy Perry, shared a video a few years ago of the two riding on his motorcycle, proving yet again that the actor does in fact still ride.
