A Beloved Icon With A Need For Speed

Keanu Reeves is more than an actor—he’s also a full-blown motorhead. While his passion for motorcycles is well documented, few know that his car collection also reflects the same spirit: sleek, fast, and full of soul.

His First Bike

Reeves’ first personal motorcycle was a 1973 Norton Commando, which he bought shortly after his first riding experience. The raw power of that bike left an impression. Even today, he speaks about it with fondness, crediting it for shaping his riding identity.

A Diverse Taste

Reeves' garage reflects his diverse taste: vintage craftsmanship meets high-performance engineering. From classic British builds to Italian superbikes, his bikes are more than machines—they are pieces of history, emotion, and adrenaline.

Arch Motorcycle Company: His Passion Project

Founded in 2011 with Gard Hollinger, Arch Motorcycle combines artistry with engineering. Based in Hawthorne, California, Arch produces bespoke motorcycles made to order. Each bike is a personal statement of design and power.

The Arch KRGT-1

This is Arch's flagship model and Keanu Reeves’ brainchild. Made with a massive S&S V-twin engine, billet aluminum chassis, and tailored ergonomics, the KRGT-1 is designed for long-distance comfort with sport-bike aggression.

Arch 1s: Café Racer Meets Muscle

The Arch 1s is a sportier evolution of the KRGT-1. It integrates a single-sided swingarm, forward-leaning posture, and aggressive aesthetics. The 1s pushes boundaries with modern styling and a sport-tuned frame, aimed at riders who want track flair on the street.

Arch Method 143: Carbon Fiber Luxury

A high-concept bike with only 23 ever made, the Method 143 uses carbon fiber monocoque construction and a 2,343cc engine. It’s the pinnacle of boutique motorcycle engineering. Every inch—from leather inlays to titanium details—reflects a no-compromise philosophy.

Custom Harley-Davidson Dyna Wide Glide

One of Reeves’ earliest motorcycles, the Dyna Wide Glide, was customized to match his riding style. This Harley gave him his first taste of tweaking the mechanics of a bike, and helped inspire the ethos behind Arch’s bespoke process.

El Diablo West Coast Chopper

Built by Jesse James, the El Diablo is a rare, rebellious custom chopper. With stretched frames, a loud exhaust, and bold aesthetics, it embodies anti-mainstream design. It shows Reeves' appreciation for outlaw motorcycle culture and extreme customization.

BMW R NineT

This retro-styled, air-cooled boxer engine bike blends modern tech with old-school charm. The R NineT’s minimalist look and nimble handling make it ideal for LA traffic and scenic rides. Reeves has been spotted cruising it through the canyons.

Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R

One of the most powerful sport bikes in the world, the ZX-10R is tuned for speed and performance. With over 200 horsepower and MotoGP-inspired tech, it's built for serious riders. Reeves probably appreciates its raw edge and advanced design.

Moto Guzzi V7 Racer

This limited-edition Italian café racer offers old-school styling with modern performance. The V7 Racer’s chrome tank, red frame, and 744cc engine make it a head-turner.

Norton Commando 850 MK II Roadster

Reeves still owns this British classic. Its vintage lines and rugged handling harken back to the golden age of British motorcycling. For Reeves, it’s a nostalgic reminder of his beginnings as a rider.

Yamaha R1

The R1 is Yamaha’s premier superbike, revered for its lightweight frame and explosive power. Keanu Reeves’ version is likely customized for track days. It matches his love for precision engineering and high-speed, high-adrenaline machines.

Aprilia RSV4

Another Italian masterpiece, the RSV4 delivers race-spec performance with street legality. Reeves reportedly uses it for track events—he’s probably drawn to its responsive handling, V4 engine, and aggressive styling. It’s a serious machine for a serious rider.

Ferrari California T

This hardtop convertible offers luxury with a twin-turbo V8 under the hood. It’s smooth, fast, and practical—just the way Keanu Reeves likes it.

Porsche 911 Carrera 4S

A refined yet powerful sports car, the 911 Carrera 4S blends tradition with tech. With all-wheel drive and timeless curves, it’s both practical and thrilling.

Volvo 122 Amazon

Known for its simplicity and durability, the Amazon is a far cry from the supercars you might expect. But Reeves values its honest mechanics and retro appeal. It’s a humble reminder that not all great drives are high-speed.

Mercedes-Benz GLE

As a daily driver, the GLE SUV offers comfort, space, and style. It suits Reeves’ practical side, allowing him to move through LA incognito.

Audi Q7

Another family-friendly SUV in his collection, the Q7 is roomy, quiet, and safe. It’s proof that Reeves picks vehicles for utility as much as performance. Ideal for errands or hauling gear, the Q7 is a silent workhorse in his fleet.

Arch KRGT-1 Track Edition

Built for the track, this edition of the KRGT-1 is lighter, faster, and more aggressive. Reeves reportedly uses it for testing performance modifications.

Custom BMW S1000RR

This superbike is known for being one of the most technologically advanced motorcycles in the world. Reeves’ version is customized for both performance and comfort, potentially used for private track sessions.

Confident But Not Flashy

Keanu Reeves doesn’t flaunt his collection, it’s more like an extension of his personality. While some stars show off Lambos and Bentleys, he opts for well-built machines with heritage. It’s all about function, connection, and emotion—not the spotlight.

More Than Just An Actor

Reeves test-rides every new Arch prototype himself. He’s involved in the design process, materials, and mechanical tuning. His fingerprints are all over every bike the company produces.

Celebrity Biker Club

While he sometimes rides solo, Reeves has shared the road with other Hollywood stars like Brad Pitt, Ryan Reynolds, and Tom Cruise. Yet he rarely makes a spectacle of it. For him, the bike is about the experience, not the company.

Keanu Reeves’ Garage: Functional Zen

Those who’ve seen his garage say it reflects his calm, minimal style. Everything has its place. The atmosphere is less like a man cave and more like a studio—quiet, clean, and built for focus, not showing off.

Safety First

Reeves always wears full gear—helmet, gloves, boots, armored jacket—even on short rides. He respects the danger of biking, and is a role model for responsible riding, showing that you can be cool while also being cautious.

Long Rides, Big Thoughts

Reeves often takes solo motorcycle trips up the coast or through the desert, but these journeys are more than scenic. “They’re like a moving meditation,” Reeves once said. He describes his rides a way to “be in the moment,” away from fame, phones, and noise.

No Lambo, No Problem

Keanu Reeves doesn’t own a Lamborghini or Bugatti. He doesn’t chase exotic badges. Instead, he prefers thoughtfully engineered vehicles that offer connection and control. His cars are driven, not trailered to shows.

Giving Back Through Wheels

Keanu Reeves has used his bikes to support charity auctions and awareness events. He once donated an Arch Motorcycle for a cancer foundation auction.

The Future Of Arch

Arch plans to expand beyond the US and enter electric and hybrid concepts. Reeves has teased new models and partnerships. The vision is long-term, performance-forward, and rooted in hand-built craftsmanship.
