Title: "Top 10 Greatest MOTORCYCLE Chase Scenes"
Post by: Tom on December 25, 2022, 04:03:03 PM

Disclaimer:  I'm not selling anything.  I don't have an account for ad placement/payment. This is a list compiled by a person that has a Youtube Channel.  Some on the list are CGI enhanced or have special effect enhanced scenes.  There are actual stunt riders for some d the scenes too.  IF you're too lazy to watch and comment without looking at the vid, I can't help you.  It is MOTORCYCLE related but NOT Moto Guzzi centric.

Some good clips I hadn't seen in a while but a few of my favorites seem to be missing. Thanks Tom

Couple of my favs. Not as special effect heavy, but nonetheless nice.  Coogans Bluff with pre Dirty Harry Clint Eastwood,
and the other, while not specifically a motorcycle chase, features Ago  on a Benelli  650 and a Lambo Miura

This one's unbelievable.

Supposedly a real chase in Finland. Both the criminal and the
cop have real talent!

 Where's 'Harold and Maude'?  Chase scene is a Guzzi Eldorado (long story behind that).  Eventually stolen by Maude.  That entire sequence was filmed here in Fremont about 5 miles away.  Anyone interested, come and visit and I can take you to the various filming points.

Haven't watched the attached vid yet but it better include that trials bike scene in the Bourne movie in Turkey (?) when the Matt Damon body double leaps up onto the brick wall.

Y'ep with the start on scooters.  There's also the scenes from the Bourne Legacy with the bike chase scene in Manila.

I think I just went on a fast tour of Finland with that cop chase.
I wonder what they ride.

I bet the passenger was relieved when the rider dumped it on the dirt road at a slower speed.  :shocked:

Finnish Polis motorcycles.

"Marked police motorcycles are usually either BMW K1200 RS, Yamaha FJR 1300, Yamaha FZ1, Yamaha XT660, Honda VFR1200 or KTM 1190 Adventure models. Unmarked motorcycles are Yamaha YZF1000R Thunderace- and Yamaha YZF-R1 models. Motorcycles are used in pursuit situations. The quad bikes are also used in service, mostly used are Polaris Sportsman and Can-Am."
