Actually he does ride it. You're also a few years late. There was one of these in the cheesy crap-a-licious movie Torque.

A rich guy like Leno probably takes it down to a drag strip once or twice a year.

I've seen pictures of his car garage/gallery/museum.   Having more cars than you could drive at least once a week is wasteful/overkill.

Actually, he rides it up in malibu canyons and is occassionally seen with it hanging out at the Rock Store. He's up there almost every sunday with some incredibly unusual or unique bike...

He probably thought they deserved it because they were no doubt thinking "what an ugly bike".

He doesn't prefer riding his Brough Superior anymore?

Brad Pitt has the coolest celebrity bike.  Does anyone know what it is?  Bonus points for photos.

I think Pitt has the Wraith (sp?) Confederate.  I've never seen a red one.  Props to Destro for finding a red one.  That's odd.

Holy crap. The Wraith weighs as much as a stock GSF.

I have a movie clip of a minute long of this guy with one. You have to hear it start up, unbelieveable. But I need to host it, does anyone recommend any site to host it??

They sell those at the Ducati shop that wotks on my bike.  I believe for $75K a pop.  The website has video and sound.  It is a neat bike but not for me.  I could think of 3 or 4 bikes i could get for that kinda money.

Anyhow...wanna listen..?? look for the vid on the site under "CM Cinema":
