"Top Gun"
 
No idea why this one popped into my head, but does anyone know what bike Tom Cruise rode in "Top Gun?" I heard it was a CBR600F Hurricane. Is this right? Anyone know what year? Man, when I saw this movie as a kid, I thought that bike was cool as ****. Maybe that's why I like my F2 so much. Movie doesn't hold up so great after all these years though...

Funny he's riding the motorcycle on an activeflightline without a helmet, no reflective vest.
Kinda misleading, but was cool 2 decades ago.

The motorcycle ridden by Tom Cruise in the movie is a Kawasaki Ninja 900 / GPz900R, then the fastest production motorcycle in the world.

From the same site:

"In preparation for his role, Tom Cruise was allowed to take a ride in the F-14 Tomcat. He reportedly got sick during the ride."

Haha I loved hearing that. Tom Cruiseseems like such a pompus jackass.

I fixed Tomcats for 8 years, I saw a lot of people come back a little green.

...and I'm sure I'd probably be one of those people. The point is, Tom Cruise is a douchebag.

There were 2 '84 Ninja 900's for the movie.

They were re-painted with in red and black, instead of the original red and gray, and colors were transposed.
