What are some of the coolest things in the world? Our favorite celebrities and motorcycles. But what’s even cooler than that? Celebrities actually riding motorcycles! There are a lot of stars that we have seen enjoying themselves on their motorbikes on the road, all the way from Olivia Munn to Keanu Reeves, and there are few other views which can fill us in with as much joy.
We’ve seen them on their bikes swerving around cars, looking like they’re having the time of their life. After all, considering all the hard work celebrities have to do, it makes sense for them to need something crazy and thrilling to help them blow off some steam.
There has also been some evidence showing that celebrities make a positive difference in bike sales. Thus, their involvement and hobbies are great for the industry too.
Here are 15 celebrities that love riding their motorcycles everywhere:
15 Tom Cruise
One of the biggest celebrities in the world, we have seen him ride motorbikes in a bunch of his action films such as Mission Impossible and T595 Daytona. He had a very decent collection away from the movie screen, too, known for his interest in vintage motorbikes. It is common to find him cruising around on his Vyrus.
14 Pink
Everyone knows that the American pop singer Pink is a huge riding fan, whether it is on or off the screen. Since she is married to the former motocrosser Carey Hart, this doesn’t come as a surprise. She has attended a few of his races and even proposed to him on a pit board in the middle of a race.
13 Richard Hammond
Since he is one of the three ex-Top gear (now Grand Tour) presenters, it makes sense for him to have a deep passion for engines. He has loved riding motorbikes ever since he was 16. The size of his personal collection is immense, and it has a lot of notable names such as the Ducati 916 and the CBR1000F.
12 Ryan Gosling
Believe it or not - but Ryan Gosling has often been seen riding his amazing custom dirt bike in Los Angeles. He has also shown off his cool stunts and skills on motorbikes in a few films. In his recent movie, The Place Beyond The Pine, he had to ride his bike everywhere and did most of that himself.
11 David Beckham
As expected, an ex-soccer player would want a hobby that keeps him on his feet and is perfect for an adventure. He has been seen on several cruisers here and there, such as some chopped Harleys and a variety of Triumphs. He made his way into the biking community after his 2014 BBC documentary “Into The Unknown.”
10 George Clooney
This is probably a name you did not expect to find here, but here it is. He is a biker, with a number of Harleys sitting inside his garage. His customized Bonneville was once the talk of the town, as it has leather studded panniers, yellow cam covers, and a racing seat hump.
9 John Travolta
John Travolta owns a big bike collection. He has been riding bikes ever since he was young, and has always had a particular liking for cruisers especially. According to Travolta, it was the first means of transportation for him at the beginning of his Hollywood career as it was affordable and convenient.
8 Christian Bale
It might be hard imagining Christian Bale riding something which isn’t the batmobile but is a huge fan of motorbikes in real life. He used to race on tracks too, something he stopped after he got into an accident. Christian Bale on a bike is the kind of sight people would pay an arm and a leg for.
7 Orlando Bloom
Besides his fantastic acting skills, Orlando Bloom is also well known for his love of BMW motorcycles. He has a number of them, even a bunch of old classics. He has a very special custom-built S100R, a model most people are in awe of. Some have also seen him riding along with his pet dog, Mighty.
6 Justin Timberlake
Justin Timberlake might not seem like much of a daredevil, but surprisingly, he enjoys riding motorcycles a lot. He likes traveling on the open road with his bike, and if you thought he was attractive before, wait till you catch a glimpse of him riding his motorcycle.
5 Michael Fassbender
The German/Irish factor has been riding motorbikes his entire life. After he finished filming ‘Prometheus’, he went on a two-month motorcycle holiday around Europe with his father. He appreciates modern Triumphs a lot but was seen riding a BMW GS after his Triumph Speed Triple 1050 was stolen.
4 Hugh Laurie
Who knew that doctor House would have a passion for motorbikes? He has loved them for a long time, with a special interest in the Triumph Bonneville, which he rides around Los Angeles frequently. He has also been seen enjoying his Honda CBR600RR and Yamaha XJR 1300.
3 Charlie Hunnam
Charlie Hunnam's celebrity status comes mainly from a show about bikers. Besides his phenomenal acting skills, he is also famous for his passion for motorcycles. In fact, his breakout role was on the Sons of Anarchy, a popular TV series revolving around a biker gang. It was fitting for a series like that to be his road to fame.
2 Norman Reedus
Norman Reedus is mainly known for his role on The Walking Dead, but he has another show too: Ride with Norman Reedus. He has a major obsession with the Triumph Tiger as he takes it with him everywhere, all the way from work to trails to road trips.
