A fervent rider and enormous bike enthusiast, Ryan Reynolds's collection is nothing short of spectacular.
If you thought Ryan Reynolds is only envied for his cute looks, fame, and outstanding career in Hollywood, you've not seen his bike collection. A longtime lover of two wheels, Ryan Reynolds' garage is jam packed with showstoppers, mostly vintage café racers that have become the modern-day craze. The A-list actor prefers stylishly rugged two-wheelers that pick their design cues from older generation bikes. The majority are Triumphs and not Harley-Davidson cruisers or racing bikes with modern futuristic designs from Kawasaki and Honda. The few times he goes for sportbikes, he ensures it's those truly exclusive copies of modern retros from brands like Ducati and BMW Motorrad.

The world-famous actor best known for his roles in Deadpool,Mississippi Grind, The Croods, Free Guy, and Hitman's Bodyguard is also a big fan of bike customization. Only a few of his bikes remain stock, with most ending incredibly refined, raising the envies of many bike enthusiasts. Despite his hectic schedule, he still manages to enjoy riding his bikes in the streets of LA. And no, he doesn't do racing suits; on any day, all he needs is an old leather jacket, some wrangling gloves, and jeans to feed his love of adrenaline. From his incredible garage full of badass retro-styled bikes, we present the 8 coolest motorcycles in Ryan Reynold's collection.
The bike Ryan learned to ride on at just 15 years is the Honda CB750. Though he has stated he "hated" this bike back then, the Honda CB750 was popular for its cheap performance and bullet-proof reliability. Having found a soft spot for the CB750 much later on in his life, he got a custom 1976 SOHC model, which by looking at, it's easy to guess why he named it "Cold War".
Apart from the engine and transmission, not much of the original sheet metal has remained with newly fabricated parts including the fuel tank, frame, headlight fairing, and seat and rear cowling. As a special touch, the seat got upholstered using leather from one of Ryan's screen-worn jackets. The fantastic custom job was done by Raccia Motorcycles in a process that took 7 months.
Certainly the most incredible bike that Ryan Reynolds owns, this ride was gifted to him by Triumph when they learned of his enormous love for bikes. It's fairly new, but it looks like it's been around for years because it's been customized to resemble an old Triumph Thruxton. The work was done by motorcycle builder Dustin Kott, known for building'70s-style Honda cafe racers.

It builds on Triumph's legacy of combining their unique lightweight bike style with the brand's signature V-Twin engine. Custom touches include a new paint job, matching speed sticks, a smaller headlight, a unique leather seat and seat pan, and a revised tail section with a pair of Hagon shocks added. The open sprocket cover and meatier wheels are extra minor details that also add to its distinctive look.
The Ducati Paul Smart is a pretty rare retro-styled bike released in 2006. Built to commemorate Paul Smart's win at the 1972 Imola 200 race, only 2000 exist in the entire world, with one of them having made it into Ryan Reynold's garage.
Ryan is strongly attached to it, as he's been seen multiple times in the streets of Los Angeles enjoying the hard-hitting 992 cc engine that supplies 92-hp.
Another proof of Reynold's love for sporty European bikes with vintage styling is this Ducati GT1000 from the same SportClassic series as the Ducati Paul Smart Limited Edition. The major difference is that it lacks a motorcycle fairing.

Made from 2007 through the 2010 model years, it pushes out a claimed 92-horsepower and 67 lb-ft of torque to rocket forward to its 135 mph top speed.
The BMW S 1000 RR was initially a race-oriented sportbike made for the 2009 Superbike World Championship. It eventually hit the showroom floor in 2010 and with it outgrowing its initial skepticism to become one of the best sportbikes in the premier class, Ryan has added it to his collection.
The actor showed off his skills by riding his blue and white S 1000 RR "hands-free" in one of his Instagram posts captioned," Don't try this at home. Particularly in the living room". In an amusing reaction to the daring stunt, his wife posted a photo showing how the actor once went against the advice by riding a bike in their living room, which made it all much funnier.
In addition to the S 1000 R, another BMW Ryan Reynolds owns is the R nineT which is nothing but a treat for the eyes. Like most bikes in his collection, it has also been customized, featuring a solo saddle while most of its parts are covered with chrome silver paint.

The BMW R nineT is a stylish modern retro that was a breath of fresh air when it hit the market in 2014. At the time, those who liked old race bike styling were always forced to accept old-school performance and ride quality. The R nineT is changed all that. Bringing entirely modern performance, handling, and manners, it went on to set the standard for most modern large-capacity retros.
The Triumph Bonneville has always been popular for its classy simplicity and unwavering style over the years. Its free-revving heart with a raspy note is another reason speed freaks go for it. Many celebrities, including David Beckham, the king of cool himself, Steve McQueen, Hollywood stars like Paul Newman, and even Ryan Reynolds, have it in their collections.
As he revealed to ForTheRide, alongside an old Triumph Tiger, this Bonneville T120 is among the longest bikes he has owned, having bought it new around 13 years ago. The colors have been reinvented multiple times, buts he finally settled on a matte black style with red accents and a red tank. More modifications Ryan has done include boring out the engine, changing handlebars, and most of the accessories.
Another classic Triumph in Ryan's connection is this chrome-clad 1964 Triumph 650 model which was customized by Lucas Joyner of The Factory Metal Works based in North Carolina. Made to honor a 12-pound naval cannon fired every night in Reynolds' hometown in Vancouver, British Columbia (Canada), he appropriately named it the Nine O'Clock Gun.
The bike blends classic cafe-racers style with some of the high-end bespoke options Reynolds wanted, with the ride height lowered, and the bike stretched to fit the actor's 6'2" frame. Ryan has described it as an incredibly comfortable work of art.
