- These motorcycles are some of the best custom-built masterpieces.
- While the James Bond bikes are good, they stand second to MI motorcycles
This list contains motorcycles from James Bond movies and some motorcycles from Mission Impossible that we would rather ride. There is nothing better than seeing a number of lean, mean machines owning the streets. Let's dive in!
Yamaha XJ650 Turbo-Never Say Never Again, 1983
The movie "Never Say Never Again" had a unique motorcycle that was custom built and was based on the Yamaha XJ750 Turbo. The interesting thing is that this bike was equipped with rocket launchers and was a beast.
Mission Impossible III–Triumph Bonneville
The Tom Cruise starrer is famous for its bike chase sequences. Tom Cruise drives a Triumph Bonneville, one of which was auctioned for $30,000. Mission Impossible III had a specially designed motorcycle from Triumph to appear in it.

Montesa Cota 4RT-Quantum Of Solace (2008)
Everything modern was on the Montesa in Quantum of Solace. It was made to look like a scrambler bike and had no power to rub shoulders with the greats.
Triumph Speed Triple 955i-Mission Impossible II
The movie saw the most celebrated two-wheeler chase scene in its history. The stunts were heavily VFX'd, and you could notice it if you watched closely.
BMW R1200C – Tomorrow Never Dies, 1997
The R1200C was just launched by BMW, and Jean-Pierre Goy performed the stunts for Bond on it. BMW warned that the bike was too heavy to perform a wheelie, but the legendary Jean-Pierre managed to pull it off.
BMW S1000rr – Mission Impossible Rogue Nation
The movie saw the protagonist as well as the villains having the same bike. The BMW S1000rr, of course. Cruise used this as his ride, and we're jealous.
Cagiva W16 600 – Goldeneye, 1995
The Russian military used the Cagiva shortly after the movie was shot. Bond clips the bad guy and takes his bike. The bike was none other than the Cagiva.
BMW R NineT – Mission Impossible Fallout
The bike is an iconic one and has power and style. Tom Cruise chose it for no other reason, and the bike was seen in MI Fallout. It sports a flat-twin engine with 110 HP and 86 lb of torque. It has a top speed of 125 miles per hour.
Triumph Scrambler 1200 XE Bond Edition–No Time To Die, 2020
The latest Bond movie saw the Scrambler 1200 XE, which was custom-built especially for James Bond. Triumph named it the Bond Edition, and it has double exhausts. The makers decided to create 250 identical pieces of it, just like in the movie.
BMW F800GS (Police Motorcycle)–Mission Impossible Fallout
The movie saw the F800GS, which was seen as a police motorcycle, apart from a BMW R1200 GS. After all, MI loves BMW motorcycles.
