These are photos of Keanu Reeves with four of his custom superbikes, built by the company he co-founded, the Arch Motorcycle Company. Keanu was displaying the high end bikes at a Malibu classic car and bike show called “Cars and Coffee”. The Daily Mail has some details about the KRGT-1 bike, which starts at $78,000 and is described as a mix of classic design and the latest technology. It has an impressive 121 maximum horsepower and can go up to 138 mph. (Here’s a link to the specs for the bike. In comparison, the Harley Davidson V-Rod, manufactured in a partnership with Porsche, is one of the highest horsepower Harleys at 122 HP and a top speed of 140.)

Keanu started the company last year with bike mechanic and builder Gard Hollinger of LA County Choprods. The two developed a friendship after Keanu went in to customize a bike. The LA Times has an overview of the business, which has five employees who take hundreds of hours to hand make each bike. They plan to build up to 100 bikes a year and to eventually offer more models. It takes about 90 days from order to delivery. Keanu’s partner has said that while the bikes are expensive, there’s a call for them. “There’s a general attitude that no motorcycle should ever cost $78,000, but that’s the kind of person who’s never going to buy a Roll Royce. We never set out to make something affordable.” I guess that’s why Keanu is showing them off, he’s got to get the word out.

You can tell that Keanu loves to ride and that his new business is a passion project. I love these pictures of him talking to fellow enthusiasts. He looks so good on that bike too, although I think he needs more gear. I always think that when I see people with those half helmets.

Keanu has three movies coming out this year, including thriller Knock Knock, by director Eli Roth, and The Whole Truth, with Renée Zellweger and Gugu Mbatha-Raw.
