Many celebrities love to ride motorcycles. And some of them are true motorcycle club material. Motorcycles are fast, easy to maneuver on busy city streets, and have a way of making celebrities look ten times cooler than they really are. Stars also love motorcycles because they give them a way to experience life as ordinary people since they can't be easily recognized under their helmets.
While most celebrities who own motorcycles are men, there's a growing number of female stars showing the world that even women can experience the thrill and freedom that comes with riding motorcycles. The following list looks at ten female celebrities that love to ride motorcycles.
10 Alanis Morissette
Those who grew up in the 80s to 90s era know exactly who Alanis Morissette is. The Canadian-American singer has sold millions of records, earning herself the title of "Queen of Alt-Rock Angst."
Although Alanis's most famous song involves her driving a vehicle in the music video, she has said she loves motorcycles more in multiple interviews. She claims that one of the main reasons she loves riding is that it has helped her deal with depression, anxiety, and other mental health issues throughout her career. She knows that every Ducati is worth the exorbitant cost, as she owns a few Ducatis, including the iconic S4RS.
9 Angelina Jolie
During the 1990s to 2000s era, no actress in Hollywood came close to the level that Angelina Jolie was in. She starred in multiple award-winning films, including the Tomb Raider series, Mr. and Mrs. Smith, Salt, and more. She was often portrayed as a badass and even rode bikes in some of those films.
In an interview, Jolie said that part of her love for bikes was inspired by her ex-husband, Brad Pitt, who has an extensive bike collection. Though not an avid rider, Jolie says she likes to ride from time to time and even owns a few bikes, including a BMW F640GS and an MV Agusta that Pitt got her for her 35th birthday.
8 Cher
Nicknamed the "Goddess of Pop," Cher is an American singer and actress known for many iconic hits and legendary concerts. Anyone who attended a Cher concert knows that she's a huge fan of leather and zippers, but this love stretches further than just when she was on stage. She also wears it when riding her motorcycles.
In an interview, Cher revealed that she has always been a big fan of bikes and bikers ever since her first ride at 14 – but she doesn't ride so often.
7 Olivia Munn
There's a lot to love about Olivia Munn; she's gorgeous, talented, has a black belt in taekwondo, and she loves bikes. Munn has always connected bikes, mostly thanks to her brother, who owns a custom motorcycle shop. However, she was always wary of bikes growing up and didn't ride one until she was an adult.
Munn admitted that she was terrified of riding a bike in her early days, so she would only circle her neighborhood when no one was looking. Eventually, she got used to it and can now be seen atop her Triumph Bonneville on public roads.
6 Miley Cyrus
Having been in the limelight since she was ten years old, everything about Miley Cyrus' life seems to be always about two clicks away on the internet. There are millions of pages about her life, songs, scandals, relationships, and everything in between. However, there's not an awful lot about her love for motorcycles, despite her being a huge motorcycling fan.
Miley's love for bikes began at an early age, inspired by her father, Billy Ray Cyrus. She has owned a few bikes over the years, including a 2013 Can-Am Spyder that her father gifted her in honor of her 21st birthday.
5 Michelle Rodriguez
Best known for her role as a tough chick in the Fast and Furious franchise, Michelle Rodriguez is another actress that would choose a bike over a car any day. It seems like Michelle is not far from that character in real life, as she has been spotted riding Ducatis and Harleys in Los Angeles on multiple occasions.
Michelle's love for motorcycles is deep-rooted as she grew up around bikers in Texas. She has a huge collection of bikes, but she's mostly spotted on a dark green vintage Harley-Davidson.

3 Katee Sackhoff
Few women in Hollywood have had a career as long as Katee Sackhoff. Over the last three decades, Sackhoff has appeared in multiple movies and TV shows, with her most famous role being Lieutenant Kara Thrace on Battlestar Galactica.
Many people would never guess this, but Sackhoff is an avid motorcycling fan. When asked about where her love for motorcycles came from, Sackhoff said that it all started as an excuse for her and Tricia Helfer to spend more time together when they were not on the Battlestar Galactica set. It eventually became a hobby, and it has now evolved into a way for Sackhoff to raise money for charity. Sackhoff owns multiple bikes, including a Honda-XL600R-Enduro-based custom named the KT600 after her.
2 Tricia Helfer
Like Katie Sackhoff, Tricia Helfer is best known for her Battlestar Galactica role and is also a huge motorcycling fan. Helfer loves to show off her vast collection of bikes, including a Wide Glide, a Rocker C, and a Sportster.
Helfer's love for bikes started early as she grew up riding ATVs on her father's farm. It further intensified during her Battlestar Galactica days, as she would go on trips with her friend Katie Sackhoff. The two actresses have maintained their friendship to this day and often participate in cross-country rides for fun and charity.
1 Pink
Pink is one of the biggest rock stars of all time who sang multiple award-winning hits, including So What, where she portrayed herself as a badass in the video. So, unlike most other women on this list, it doesn't come as a surprise that she owns a bike.
According to Pink, she learned to ride a bike early in life, having grown up around the Harleys, Triumphs, and Indian motorcycles her dad owned. On top of that, Pink shares her love for bikes with her husband, former motocross champion Carey Hart. Pink is one of the many celebrities with a wild collection of bikes; she owns multiple motorcycles but is seen mostly on her Hinckley Triumph T100 Bonneville.
