In a parallel universe, these Bollywood stars could’ve been stunt doubles, motorcycle reviewers, or the mysterious guy in a leather jacket riding off into the sunset. In this one? They just happen to be men who look great on film and astride a machine that does 0-100 in under 4 seconds.Here are 14 actors who don’t just ride for the ‘gram—they ride because it’s in their DNA
1. Salman Khan
A man of many gears—both metaphorically and mechanically. Bhai has long loved his bikes (even before it was cool on Instagram). From the Suzuki Hayabusa to the Yamaha R1, he’s the original biker boy of Bollywood. And yes, he does ride them. Just ask the paparazzi.
2. John Abraham
You know a man means business when his garage looks like a MotoGP pit stop. John doesn’t just love bikes—he respects them. His collection includes a Yamaha R1 and VMAX, and his social media occasionally blesses us with glimpses of that glorious exhaust pipe lineup. He’s basically the Desi Keanu Reeves.
3. Shahid Kapoor
Shahid’s riding style? A mix of speed, swagger, and scruff. He’s got everything from a Ducati Scrambler to a Harley. More importantly, he’s part of a real-life biker gang—with besties Ishaan Khatter and Kunal Kemmu. Think: Dil Chahta Hai meets Fast & Furious.
4. Ishaan Khatter
He rides a Triumph and often goes on long-distance rides with Shahid and Kunal. This trio’s idea of a casual Sunday? Punctuated leather jackets and scenic highway pit stops.
5. Kunal Kemmu
If Bollywood had a “Most Likely to Start a YouTube Motovlogging Channel” award, Kunal would take it. His garage flaunts a BMW R1250 GS Adventure, and he’s that friend who plans 6 a.m. rides, tracks fuel economy religiously, and somehow still looks great helmet hair and all.
6. R. Madhavan
Maddy rides like he acts—smooth, stylish, and with depth. His prized possession? An Indian Roadmaster cruiser. This man isn’t just here for the speed; he’s here for the poetry of the open road, and maybe a bit of a detour through Coorg.
7. Ajith Kumar
Thala doesn’t play at being a biker—he is one. An actual professional racer and all-around speed freak, Ajith’s passion for two wheels is the stuff of industry legend. He's the only guy who can pull off a helmet at 200 km/h and a tailored suit at a press conference.
8. Arshad Warsi
You wouldn’t peg Circuit as a cruiser guy, but Arshad has long had a soft spot for his Royal Enfield. He’s a self-confessed road tripper, and let’s be honest—his laid-back vibe fits the vintage Enfield growl perfectly.
9. Dulquer Salmaan
Dulquer doesn't just ride—he invests. The man is a part-owner of Ultraviolette Automotive, the Indian startup making electric motorcycles look and feel like fighter jets. He rides the Ultraviolette F77 like a boss, probably while solving climate change and looking handsome at the same time.
10. Akshay Kumar
Akshay’s connection to motorcycles is long-standing—he helped launch the Honda CBR 650F in India and has been spotted riding on set and off. Think of him as your gym trainer who also moonlights as your superbike consultant.
11. Vidyut Jammwal
You’ve seen Vidyut defy gravity with his own body—imagine what he does with 2458cc of power. He rides a Triumph Rocket 3 and probably does backflips off it when no one’s watching. Or maybe when everyone is.
12. Sidharth Malhotra
Sid rides a Harley-Davidson Dyna Fat Bob, which sounds like the name of a rogue character in a 90s video game but is, in fact, a beautiful beast of a bike. It pairs well with his “tall, dark, and dashing” image.
13. Amit Sadh
For Amit, riding is therapy, not theatre. He often escapes the chaos of Bollywood for solo trips on his Triumph Tiger 1200. His feed reads like a travel journal narrated by Kerouac and shot by Wes Anderson. Expect mountains, mist, and meditative captions.
14. Siddhant Chaturvedi

Siddhant owns a Harley-Davidson Sportster R and looks like he was born to wear that helmet. As poetic as he is powerful, his biking pics come with a side of verse. This is a man who’ll quote Rumi after revving at a red light.
