12: Hugh Laurie

After becoming the highest-paid actor in the world thanks to the success of his TV drama ‘House,’ the “Doc” has taken to a few other types of hobbies in recent years. The actor has long had a passion for bikes, and he doesn’t hide it either. His bike of choice is the Triumph Bonneville, which he has been seen driving around downtown L.A. (via Go Rollick).

Triumph isn’t the only motorcycle brand Laurie enjoys riding either, he also has a Yamaha XJR 1300 and a Honda CBR600RR. Both of these motorcycles are great additions to any collection, and they are pleasurable to ride. Laurie continues to be one of the most well-known actors who enjoys riding.

Naturally, the host of a popular automotive TV show called ‘Top Gear’ has an extensive collection of motorcycles. Hammond’s bike is a Triumph, but he has also ridden many models. In one episode of Top Gear, he raced against a Jaguar XK120 while riding a Honda MTX 50 (via Go Rollick).

He has also been a fan of Yamaha bikes, as well as Kawasaki. His blue Triumph is often featured in various episodes of the show, as well as on his Instagram page. Riding a motorcycle is one of life’s hidden joys, and Hammond enjoys it well. While his motorcycle collection might not be as impressive as some, it still does the part.

10: Jay Leno

No surprise here as Jay Leno has an impressive motorcycle collection to go with the rest of his automotive collection. In fact, he has more than just a collection, he has a working garage that people can actually visit. He has somewhere around 100 motorcycles in his collection, and that number is constantly expanding (via Go Rollick).

Most notable in the collection is the 1931 Henderson Four, a very rare motorcycle. There is also the Y2K, which is a rocket powered bike that Leno has pulled out of the garage a few times. His motorcycle collection is extensive and varied, making it unique to say the least.

9: Ryan Reynolds

Reynolds is a noteworthy celebrity who has been featured in dozens of movies and TV shows. Reynolds also has a taste for motorcycles and has been seen riding a few of them around L.A. The most notable motorcycle model he enjoys riding is the Honda CB750, a very lightweight classic (via Go Rollick).

He has also been photographed riding a Kott, which is a custom bike, and a Deus Ex Machina. These are both rolling pieces of artwork with a large following. Reynolds has been known to flaunt his bikes when he rides around Downtown L.A. His collection isn’t as diverse as you’d think because he actually rides the bikes he owns.

8: Tom Cruise

Cruise is one of the most famous celebrities in the world, appearing in dozens of box office hits over his four-decade career. But perhaps more unique than the movies he stars in is his personality outside the movie world. Cruise is a very private person, but sometimes can be seen out and about in the L.A. scene (via Go Rollick).

Cruise owns a Vyrus 987 C3 V4, which is a rare sport bike indeed. Other bikes in his collection include offerings from Honda and Suzuki. Cruise is no stranger to high priced items, and he has been enjoying riding for sometime now. His collection is extensive and he will continue to add to it as the years go on.

7: Norman Reedus

Reedus has made a name for himself on the hit show “The Walking Dead”, but even with all that fame, he is just a guy who enjoys riding his motorcycle. Reedus has been vocal about his love for motorcycles, and he can often be seen at various events around the country. His motorcycle of choice is an Indian, but he also enjoys Triumph models (via Go Rollick).

While Reedus doesn’t have a massive bike collection like some celebrities on this list, he does have some interesting models. Reedus actually enjoys riding, and these motorcycles aren’t just a status symbol for him. Although his claim for fame is ‘The Walking Dead,’ we think his bike collection deserves recognition.

6: Brad Pitt

Pitt has always been a Hollywood heartthrob, and part of that persona involves his motorcycle collection. Pitt owns a few motorcycles worth noting, and with his massive net worth, there’s no surprise there. He’s often photographed riding around L.A. on one of his custom Harley Davidson models (via Go Rollick).

He also has a few Japanese superbikes and an Italian model. Pitt doesn’t have the extensive motorcycle collection you may expect from a celebrity with this kind of net worth. There are however some unique motorcycles that anyone would enjoy riding, and Pitt takes great care of them.

A guy with the means of Levine would surely have an awesome motorcycle collection. That is the case, and Levine has been spotted more than a time or two on one of his custom bikes. He has everything from classic Harley Davidson models to more advanced sports bikes (via Go Rollick).

The Harley-Davidson FLSTF Fat Boy is his bike of choice, with a beautiful sleek black paint job to match. The fat boy was one of the most controversial motorcycles to come out of the historic motorcycle company. This is a perfect bike for someone who is in a band and has a certain level of fame.

Jackson stated he actually got his motorcycle license in the early 2000s, but he didn’t start riding until recently. He is another film star who doesn’t have a massive collection of bikes but it is one he enjoys thoroughly.
