What are the fastest bikes in the movies, music and pop culture?

American electric bike company Evelo has produced an infographic that answers this question.

 It starts with the bicycle that Elliot and E.T. ride into the sky right up to the 3000+mph Hell Cycle from the movie Ghost Rider, starring Nicholas Cage.

Other great movie motorcycles they mention are also some favourites of ours including the Harley-Davidson Fat Boy ridden by Arnold Schwarzenegger’s stunt double in Terminator 2, the Kawasaki KZ1000 ridden by Jim Goose in the seminal Mad Max and the Kwaka GPZ 900R from Top Gun.

But there are more than just Hollywood motorcycle moments. The graphic also includes Prince’s Purple Rain Honda and the chopped Triumph Bonneville from TV’s The Walking Dead.
