For me it would probably be On Any Sunday ( https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0067527/ ). It's an old movie from the early 70s, but it's well made and very interesting. The best thing is, it's all real Very Happy

No acting in those though, just biking action...

not sure of any real bike related movies as such but the clip in the matrix revolutions where trinity steals the black 998 and rides it's wheels off through traffic was pretty cool, the clip in "FLED" where two guys take a 916 each and out run the bad guys in the car was pretty cool too, tomb raiders clip wasn't too bad either and can't forget tom cruise on the speed tripple in mission immposible Twisted Evil

Steve McQueen.

He is the man

The Great Escape, just for those few moments of him on the bike!

Terminator 2 is pretty gripping bike action
The Great Escape is up there too
Easy Rider is a classic

Didn’t he do all the riding for that move including the jump?

I know he rode a bike to all the filming and scared the crap out of near every body else on set )


The only other person I know of that takes risks like that is Jackie Chan and he cant get insurance these days

How many movies even have the performance of bikes and cars modelled properly? I saw a rather poor film over the weekend involving a yellow Chevy Camaro (I think) with two occupants being incapable of outrunning a van with 8 occupants and a load of guns and things. Confused

I don't think I've ever seen a good motorcycle movie. Only Terminator Two actually had any decent action in it.

Its another vote for Bloodrunners.

'Stone' where an austrlian gang of satanist motorcyclists called the 'gravediggers' are infiltrated by a policeman called 'stone' in order to discover who is slowly killing off the club.

Smart race sequence between a Norton Commando and a very early Zed 1000 where they are giving it big licks. I have never seen such high amplitude wheelies on a Commando before.

Of course the very best one is "Fowl Play at Midnite" in which I star as the leader of the Hells Chickens motorcycle gang. Took a great deal of inspiration from restless natives but more amateurish and off the wall (I do not receive royalties from sales of this movie).
