The Norton Commano in My Own Private Idaho

Keanu Reeves loves movie motorcycles, and riding bikes in real life.

In 1991’s My Own Private Idaho, Keanu Reeves’ character, Scott Favor, rides a 1974 Norton Commando, the very same one Reeves rode over 1,300 miles to convince River Phoenix to join the cast.

The Commando is a classic British motorcycle that  features a parallel-twin engine, a sleek profile, and a reputation for smooth handling and power. The Commando has a loyal following among motorcycle enthusiasts, particularly for its iconic status in the 1970s.
