This may have been posted before and if so,please adivise and we will terminate this post.What is your favorite bike movie? The movie where the bike(s) are the stars and not the "starz".Three that come to mind are: "The Wild Bunch", "easy Rider", and "Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man". Any others?BJ

An aussie film called "Stone", similar bikes and era to mad max. The other one would be Then Came Bronson. I love that character.

World's Fastest Indian is one of the finest movies I've watched in years. Everything in that movie is perfect.

Motorcycle Diaries was pretty decent, but the bike clearly isn't the focus.

I just watched The Wild Ones again for the umpteenth time, I still get fired up when Brando says "Whaddya Got?"

What about The Great Escape? Can we argue that the whole movie is a setup for the m/c chase scene at the end? C'mon, Steve McQueen running from Nazis and trying to jump the wire? Freaking awesome.

Never seen the "Classics" but WF Indian is great, I wish they kept a little closer to the original story some how...

Would "The Great Escape" count? Not a motorcycle movie but a movie with a motorcycle...

Mad Max
Worlds Fastest Indian
The Great Escape
Faster! (more of a documentary though)

I remember one from back when I was a kid. I think it was called Silver Dream Racer. Man was it hokie! But it had GP racing in it! I'd be glued to the TV whenever it was on

The absolute WORST has to be Torque. *vomits*

Now I've gotta go find "Race For Glory." Looks like good old fashioned fun to me!

Pretty interesting to see differences in riding styles between late 1970's and late 1980's.
Silver Dream Racer, (1979~80) skinny tyres and 'tidy' riding style (tucked in, not too much lean)
1989, seeing some knee down 'action'
