Like Keanu Reeves, Brad Pitt is another famous motorcycle lover. In fact, it is quite common for him to attend filming in Hollywood on a motorcycle under the watchful eyes of tourists. The actor hoards all types of vehicles in his garage, from the most economical standard sports models to customizations signed by prestigious tuners. Naked, Cafe Racer and even a war motorcycle: there is nothing that can resist the protagonist of The Big Short. We discover the most iconic ones below.
Pitt received a Ducati Monster 1100S like this one as a gift from Angelina Jolie for his 45th birthday. This motorcycle, discreet compared to the rest of his collection, is a 168 kilo naked bike mounted on a 1,078 cc engine with 90 HP of power.
Only 1,500 units of this Ducati Desmosedici RR were manufactured in 2008. The actor got the second copy that left the factory. As a curiosity, the first is exhibited in the Ducati Museum in Bologna and the third is owned by Tom Cruise. This sports model has a 989 cc V4 engine and develops 200 HP.
The Fight Club actor ordered this customized motorcycle from the workshop founded by the legendary trainer Shinya Kimura in Okazaki, Japan. There the chassis of this Type 9 is assembled, which is then sent to the Zero Engineering facilities in Las Vegas to attach the engine, in this case developed by Harley-Davidson. This motorcycle has great rigidity thanks to its four-link rear suspension.
With an estimated starting price of $300,000, Brad Pitt bought this motorcycle in 2013, which he rode for the advertisement of a well-known Italian coffee brand. Only 13 units of this Ecosse Titanium Series XX were manufactured, a naked with a chassis built from titanium, carbon fiber and aerospace steel. It also has Öhlins Moto GP suspensions and a 2.4-liter V-twin engine with a power of 200 HP.
Angelina Jolie also gave this Harley-Davidson customized by Indian Larry's workshop in Brooklyn to her ex-husband in 2007. Its price is around $100,000 and it has a plaque above the headlight inscribed with the phrase My Sweetheart, the Drunk, title of an album by Jeff Buckley.
The 12 Years a Slave performer has also been seen riding a stock Husqvarna Nuda 900R. It is a fairly economical naked that incorporates an 898 cc engine with a power of 105 HP.
The Californian motorcycle tuner Roughchild has customized this BMW Bobber, which the actor received as a gift from Sony after finishing filming Bullet Train at the end of last year.
Pitt still has his old 2005 BMW R1150GS Adventure, with which he has traveled through some of the wildest places in the United States. This motorcycle stands out for being comfortable, safe and agile, with high performance guaranteed thanks to its 1,130 cc twin-cylinder engine.
The actor does not leave BMW to put the most classic and curious note on this list. Pitt paid a collector $320,000 for an R75 with a sidecar like this one. A model that dates back to 1942 and that the Nazi Army used during the German occupation of Crete (Greece) during World War II.
