The bike will follow his every order. As his powers as Ghost Rider waxed and waned over the years, John Blaze has occasionally been unable to summon the Hell.

NICOLAS CAGE “GHOST RIDER” HELL CYCLE. When stunt man Johnny Blaze becomes Ghost Rider, the Devil's motorcycle-riding bounty hunter, his customized hard-tail chopper becomes the Hell Cycle—a fantasy-driven organic combination of metal and bone with two wheels and a very bad attitude. Measuring 11 feet long, standing 50 in. high, this incredibly impressive motorcycle was custom built in Australia from the ground up at a cost of $300,000. There is no front or rear suspension and the power plant is a KTM 525 single-cylinder four-stroke engine with very little sound suppression (it's loud!) Although not street legal, the motorcycle is equipped with front and rear disc brakes for adequate stopping power. Around the frame and engine is beautifully sculpted fiberglass bodywork in fantastic organic vertebrae-inspired shapes and textures, painted bright silver with dark gray accents. The front looks like a demonic skull with the handlebars resembling protruding, gleaming horns. The long front forks have resin “chain-link” covers and the rear fender continues the motif as well as exposing protruding bony vertebrae. The bike has two independent electrical systems, one for the engine and the other for the “interactive fire” orange LEDs mounted on the perimeter of both wheels that were replaced with computer-generated fire in post-production. Motorcycle is operational. Sold on a bill of sale only and is located in Hollywood CA.

Sign Up TodayMost of the bikes used for the film were actually stolen prior to the end of shooting and supposedly were dismantled for parts before their cult status was cemented. One bike that survived (but was demolished) was rebuilt and placed in the National Motorcycle Museum in Anamosa, Iowa and later sold for over $1 million.
Replicas have been built and sold, though their veracity has definitely been questioned. The Great Escape (1963)Motorcycle: 1961 Triumph TR6 Trophy BirdRider: Steve McQueenMcQueen was pretty much a badass in every film he stars in, and The Great Escape was no exception. He helms a TR6 made especially for the film and it was outfitted to look like a German motorcycle.
For a time, he outruns and outrides German forces, who look positively novice on their motorcycles. McQueen doesn’t actually perform the famous barbed wires fence jump due to insurance reasons, but he does a lot of the actual riding on roads and undulating hills all by himself, legitimizing his skills in the process. Top Gun (1986)Motorcycle: 1985 Kawasaki GPZ 900 R. Rider: Tom CruiseWe can’t all be perfect like Tom Cruise (at least in his movies). Way back when he was a nubile 23 year old, he starred in the testosterone fest Top Gun. As he rode his GPZ900 R, both racing F-14s and contemplating the deeper meanings of life, it was clear that the speed of his sportbike and the manly ethos it conveyed fit Maverick to a T. First Blood (1982)Motorcycle: Yamaha XT 250Rider: Sylvester StalloneJohn Rambo spent so much time with big firearms and big knives, you almost forget that he rides the capable XT 250 like a bat out of hell.
He evades gunfire, traffic, sidewalk pedestrians, and Sheriff Teasle (Brian Dennehy), as well as jumps railroad tracks and rocky trails for almost three full minutes. Rambo had skills, boy, and riding was clearly one of them. Thank goodness he didn’t get on a Honda MB5. There would’ve been no sequels. Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991)Motorcycle: 1990 Harley-Davidson FLSTF “Fat Boy”.
Rider: Arnold SchwarzeneggerThe Fat Boy was the perfect choice for Arnold with its huge wheels, tires and hulking V-twin mill. It propels the Austrian version of the Cyberdyne Systems 101 through myriad dangers, including going up against a big rig in a Los Angeles storm drain system.
We love the fact that Cyberdyne took the time to program the hulking machine (Arnold) with the ability to ride the hell out of a hog. Salt (2010)Motorcycle: 2009 Triumph Street Triple RRider: Angelina JolieThough you don’t actually see Angelina truly ride for any significant length of time, she does actually own motorcycles and does ride in real life. Her “selection” of the Street Triple R in the film is a brilliant one with its high revving (12,650 redline) 675cc engine.
It's good for quick escapes and maneuvers, but probably not so much for silent running. It looks like Eveyln Salt also had very good taste in bikes. Rider: Matt DamonCount on Jason Bourne to take everyday things and do amazing things with them, including motorcycles.
Not only is he able to hot wire a bike, but he also jumps the small 4RT like he’s its bidding master and manages to hop a wall like he’s taking candy from a kid. We just would like to have seen more of Bourne’s moto skills on longer chase scenes. Now that would've made Jason Bourne even more impressive.
The Dark Knight (2008)Motorcycle: Bat-PodRider: Christian BaleThis custom made monster was supposedly impossible to ride, but Christopher Nolan and his team made it happen with some expert stunt riding. The long wheelbase and interminably wide wheels gave the Bat-Pod a truly unique military look that was worthy of the Dark Knight. The fact that the wheels could rotate laterally and the bike could actually elongate were features we probably won’t see on a real motorcycle anytime soon. It’s good to be Bruce Wayne. Ghost Rider (2007)Motorcycle: Custom HD Panhead Chopper. Rider: Nicholas CageSo a lot of it is CG. It’s hard to have a leather-clad skeleton on fire riding a motorcycle that’s also on fire.
Cage’s Johnny Blaze wages war against the netherworld’s worst while riding a Panhead Chopper, whichwas actually modeled after the Easy Rider “Captain America” bike prior to its angry transformation into a huge beast with a giant skull for a headlight and chains for forks. The fact that Easy Rider's Peter Fonda plays Mephistopholes the Devil in the movie makes Ghost Rider an even better motorcycling homage film.
