  • If you had a massive paycheck, what would you spend your money on? A nice house? An expensive car? A stamp collection? When you have enough money to fully enjoy anything you want, the sky is the limit! Ewan McGregor is one of the most iconic actors in Hollywood, and he has the paycheck to prove it. With a net worth of $50 million dollars, McGregor can definitely splurge on one of his passions; motorcycles! Over the years, he has collected a ton of different motorcycles for his collection. In fact, he has become quite the motorcycle connoisseur, and he loves traveling internationally by motorcycle. He has made headlines all over the world for his traveling adventures and investments for life on the road. McGregor is so passionate about his collection that you’ll rarely see him not on a motorcycle. His collection has a mix of historic and modern motorcycles, and it spreads out between Los Angeles and his home in the Scottish Highlands. What’s especially fascinating about McGregor is that he works on all of his bikes himself. While most celebrities will hire a team of mechanics to maintain their auto and bike collection, McGregor is completely hands on. One can imagine he works on his bikes in between movie and television roles. In this video, we’re going to take a deep dive inside Ewan McGregor’s motorcycle collection. Each bike has its own story to tell, and we’re ready to listen to each fascinating one!

      Hell yah, the guy has rode more miles than most riders which in itself is pretty cool and shows his love for riding. He's been across every continent on a bike, and only someone that loves riding would do such hauls on a bike but if I had the money he does I would do the exact same thing! Funny, you may see it differently but I don't get the same vibe from Jason Mamoa 😄

    She said the BMW R1200 is one of the prettiest in Ewan's collection. I'm not sure I agree with that. A 1950's Sunbeam is one the coolest looking motorcycles ever made...in my opinion. The vintage Guzzi's are pretty sweet as well. The BMW is a great bike, but it doesn't compare visually to some of the older stuff he's got.

    As far as Italian bikes, I have owned a ducati 860, moto morini 500 camel, laverda 3cl 1000, cagiva 650, and currently have a 1989 Moto Guzzi Mille GT 1000 and a 2013 Moto Guzzi Stone 750. Have owned several German bikes to include BMW and Zundaps. Grew up with British bikes--meaning Triumph and BSA. Have never been interested in Harley. Owned several Suzuki's to include 2-stroke models and the Wankel rotary 500. The Moto Guzzis have been my favorite above all the rest. Quirky, reliable, tractor-like in that the Japanese "refinement" is not there--but if you love just being connected to machinery and sound--Moto Guzzi!--mike

    My company has worked with him in California on a few ocassions. A nice person & real motorcyclist for sure. But The Machine wasn't an actual Indian Larry Chopper. It was built after Larry's death by Indian Larry Legacy. A company which licenses the Indian Larry name. If it were an authentic Indian Larry it would have been worth 10 times the $25k sale price.

    The BMW's rode great on tarmac, but during "Long Way Around" (or was it "Long Way Down??) the boys were far from happy when they needed to be manhandling the bikes while trying to slog their way through 2' deep mud where a dirt road may or may not have been located in the dry season. One can only pick up a 700+ pound motorcycle so many times before one begins to curse gravity :-o

    Your prices are way out even if the sum mentioned were pounds sterling they would be wayyyy too low, since a new Harley-davidson street bob 114 is £22,000. These colctors bikes will be double the value quoted. At auction, given the provenance of the machines we are talking 3 to 4 times the values mentioned.
