The KRGT-1 is a motorbike manufactured by Keanu Reeves' Arch Motorcycle Company. The bike was built by chopper whiz Gard Hollinger in collaboration with Reeves. The bike is a chopper-inspired sports bike with a massive 2-liter v-twin engine and billet aluminum body.
This gorgeous bike has forward foot controls reminiscent of cruisers and choppers, making the rider assume a laid-back riding posture. The bike's forks are adjustable Ohlins. Its wheels are made of ultra-light carbon fiber and its brakes are twin ISR 6-piston monobloc brakes. In a nutshell, this is one incredibly badass bike that has the touch of a passionate biker, which is exactly what Reeves is.
If the KRGT-1 is something you fancy, set aside $78,000 and pick one up. It's expensive, but that makes sense when you consider that the bike's tank alone takes 66 hours to carve out of a gigantic block of billet.
