Best Movie or TV Show Motorcycle

[MinnetonkaMike]

Besides actors, cars often get all the attention in major motion pictures or on the small screen. What is your all time favorite bike from a movie or TV show? Please post the make/model of the bike along with a picture and the name of the movie or show it was from!

I'm a child of the 80's so my first instinct is Lieutenant Pete "Maverick" Mitchell's Kawasaki GPZ900R from Top Gun!

Doesn't Cruise ride a Duccati Multi in "Night and Day" with Cameron Diaz.
There's a cool scoot in one of the new Batman movies too.

... always remember my ten-hood and movies with Steve McQueen riding Triumph and Husqvarna bikes . Always "cool demeanor" and beautiful girls accomaniying his crazy riding made some impact on my life . I was trying to be like him , or at least copy his unconventional and impressive style.
Being lucky , ones on estate sale in California , I bought 1969 Husqvarna 400R , which was not found in barn , but kept by older owner at his home ! Still has original tires ( 1969 ) , which until now holds the air !!!!!!! Low mileage , unrestored and originally shiny is my trophy and always reminds the best time of my life . I do not ride this bike , just clean and "see on him my idol" .

I have a few. Of course Easy Rider. The Captain America bike has always been my favorite. Terrible movie though. I was born too late to get it. The riding I get, just not all the other stuff.

This was the Honda Rune which Tom Cruise was given by Steven Spielberg for the "War of the Worlds" premiere ....

Candy Black Cherry HONDA RUNE.

Yes, the Rune engine is built on the same flat 6 GL1800 platform except it has 6 throttle bodies instead of 2.

You know I have to go with Judge Dredd since it's the theme to my bike and chosen profession.

Also in keeping with the theme, the New RoboCop Cycle too

Then Came Bronson I always wanted to do that, but I was not born to
millionaire parents so work a lot ride a little.

[Navvet]

I liked the Honda the blond in Vanishing Point rode ...

[Elroy]

Terminator

11157

Got to agree with this one. Arnold's Terminator was my "Steve McQueen" growing up (I was born 1987). Since then I always wanted a shotgun holster on my bike and a cool lever action shotgun to go in it. shot his foot

[Reedman71]

Chromia from Transformers movie.

Electra Glide in Blue was the picture that got me hooked on big bikes as a kid.
11185

These bikes from the movie Book of Eli served as the inspiration for my 1980 CB750F transformation.

Coolest guy ever

McQueen wanted to do the "jump" scene himself, but it wasn't allowed. He actually was in the scene however...dressed as a German soldier on one of the motorcycles that were chasing his character.

[bobbyf6b]

Electra Glide in Blue is a good one. My local dealer Buddy Stubbs in Phoenix maintained the bikes while the movie was filmed and he has one of them in the showroom.

Coolest guy ever...The Great Escape AND Bullitt - that's a Saturday Night

[shooter]

Yeah I've got em on DVD. Couple times a year just have to watch for the 100th time.

[cosborn]

Try "Girl on a motorcycle" kinda retro British 60-70s, Trumpies i think or perhaps Nortons.

Chris

[cosborn]

Oops sorry, it was a Harley, probably Duoglide or Electroglide.

The year was 1967 (I think)

They were showing pro-mo's of the movie The Great Escape coming to network TV on a winter Saturday and Sunday night--too long for a single evening. I set thru the whole movie just to watch my hero ride. I had a hard time convincing my Granny to let me stay up on a school night.

About 48 years later, I own the movie on DVD and it is still one of my favorite scenes of all time--- along with the green Mustang chase scene in Bullet. McQueen is still The Coolest Guy around to me. Many imitators.

[bobbyf6b]

I love the ones where they show the riders blasting down the highway with no glasses on. :tomatohit:

[Jimmytee]

Not a favorite motorcycle in a movie, (most have already been mentioned) but Me ,Myself and Irene

I've never heard of that one!

I've never heard of that one!

It's been a long time since I watched it, but I remember it as being good. Charlie Sheen plays a cop who goes undercover and infiltrates a biker gang.

I always liked Billy's bike better. It just seems more realistic.

[hoglaw]

Then Came Bronson with Michael Parks...yeah, I'm an old guy.

[Old Ryder]

"I wish I were you" says the guy to Bronson.


I am an old guy. too. :icon_wink:
