# Hollywood Hearthrob Motorbikes The KRGT-1 is Keanu Reeves' Dream Motorbike By Rahul Kalvapalle | Published 2014-10-23 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/krgt1 References: [gizmag](http://www.gizmag.com/keanu-reeves-arch-motorcycle-company-krgt-1/34360/) & [archmotorcycle](http://archmotorcycle.com/krgt-1/) The KRGT-1 is a motorbike manufactured by Keanu Reeves' [Arch Motorcycle Company](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arch-motorcycles). The bike was built by chopper whiz Gard Hollinger in collaboration with Reeves. The bike is a chopper-inspired sports bike with a massive 2-liter v-twin engine and [billet aluminum body](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ducati-821). This gorgeous bike has forward foot controls reminiscent of cruisers and choppers, making the rider assume a laid-back riding posture. The bike's forks are adjustable Ohlins. Its wheels are made of [ultra-light carbon fiber](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ducati-panigale-v4-lamborghini) and its brakes are twin ISR 6-piston monobloc brakes. In a nutshell, this is one incredibly badass bike that has the touch of a passionate biker, which is exactly what Reeves is. If the KRGT-1 is something you fancy, set aside $78,000 and pick one up. It's expensive, but that makes sense when you consider that the bike's tank alone takes 66 hours to carve out of a gigantic block of billet. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.6/10 - Popularity: 87% | Activity: 73% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Celebrity Motorcycle Lines:** Incorporating a celebrity's personal style and branding into their own line of motorcycles presents a unique opportunity for motorcycle manufacturers to stand out. - **Luxury Custom Motorcycles:** The KRGT-1's custom-built frame and premium parts showcase the demand for high-end, customizable motorcycles. - **Carbon Fiber Motorcycle Components:** The KRGT-1's carbon fiber wheels demonstrate a growing trend towards lightweight, high-performance, and eco-friendly motorcycle components. ### Where This Applies - **Motorcycle Manufacturing:** Manufacturing custom motorcycles that reflect the personal style and preferences of celebrities provides a new avenue for motorcycle manufacturers looking to stand out in a competitive industry. - **Luxury Goods:** The high-end price point of the KRGT-1 and its exclusive design appeal to the luxury goods market, presenting opportunities for expansion and niche customization. - **Carbon Fiber Production:** With the demand for carbon fiber in motorcycle manufacturing increasing, the carbon fiber production industry can explore new clients in the motorcycle industry and explore other customizability opportunities. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Futuristic Sci-Fi Motorbikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hermes-x30.md) - [Riproaring Sport Motorbikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/riproaring-sport-motorbikes.md) - [High-Tech 200 HP Superbikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hyperfighter.md) - [Race-Ready Cruise Motorbikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cruise-motorbike.md) - [Custom-Built Sci-Fi Series Motorcycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bumblebee-bike.md) - [High-End Titanium Motorcycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ccm.md) - [3D-Printed Electric Motorcycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vagabund-moto-2022-ktm-freeride-exc.md) - [Electric Sports Motorbikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kollter-rs1.md) - [Sci-Fi-Inspired Superbikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/akiraducati-superbike.md)
