Action hero, Tom Cruise, seems to like everything fast. The American heartthrob and star of more than 70 movies has ridden, driven and flown all manner of machines from NASCAR, fighter jets and fast motorcycles.
The list of breathtaking machines would not be complete unless somewhere on that list is a Harley-Davidson and I’ll leave you guessing as to which bike and movie. (scroll to the bottom for the answer)
It was one of his earlier movies where he played opposite then wife, Nicole Kidman, and also starred such big Hollywood names as Robert Duvall and Randy Quaid.

Yes, it was 1990’s Days of Thunder where Cruise raced a NASCAR, won the championship and got the girl, of course.
And the Harley-Davidson? Yes, it was a Heritage Softail Classic FLSTC
