Honeys On Harleys: Women in Control (Photos)
HD Forums salutes famous ladies who like to ride, including Harley-Davidson’s first-ever spokesperson: super-sexy supermodel Marisa Miller.
This Independence Day, along with paying our respect to our country, we at HD Forums are also going to be saluting some sexy celebrity women motorcycle enthusiasts who aren’t content to just be passengers on fast bikes. Nope. These badass babes also want to be free to drive the motorcycles themselves!
Victoria’s Secret Angel and Sports Illustrated model Marisa Miller couldn’t look any more beautiful astride her Harley-Davidson bike. In 2008, Miller became the first spokesperson in the history of the company and helped launch the VRSCF V-Rod Muscle motorcycle. Then in 2009, the Southern California-born supermodel re-created classic pin-up poses for Harley’s “Military Appreciation Month” campaign. In her YouTube video for Wildhorse Harley-Davidson, Miller says, “Riding a Harley-Davidson bike is like a feeling I’ve never had. To ride your own bike and have that speed… to have that power beneath you, it’s just awesome.”
Rockstar Pink, who has sold over 47 million albums worldwide and whose hits include the 2008 smash”So What,” probably doesn’t give a flippity-flip if we approve of her sitting atop a Harley Chopper, but we do, we do! After Pink’s husband — motocross racer Carey Hart — was criticized for taking the couple’s 2-year-old daughter for a ride without a helmet, Pink took to Twitter, defiantly stating, “If any of u have more experience on a bike than my husband, then I will listen to your opinions on how he should take my daughter for a ride.” And that is why we love her!
Reality TV personality and aspiring singer Courtney Stodden made headlines when at the age of 16 she married 51-year-old Lost actor Doug Hutchison. Now that’s talent! Just kidding. Unsurprisingly, a short time later the pair were featured on VH1’s Couples Therapy in 2012. Here’s a pic of Stodden with a Harley while wearing leather pants and bikini top. We’re betting the 2011 photoshoot got her noticed by more than a few casting directors.

Meow! In 2012’s The Dark Knight Rises, Batman gives Catwoman (played by Oscar-winning actress Anne Hathaway) the Batpod so that the pair can save the city. Check out the clip of the badass ride in action. Or just stare at the photo above. Either way is good. Oh, the role earned Hathaway the Teen Choice Award for “Choice Movie Actress: Action.”
For 2016’s Zoolander 2 flick, smoldering Penelope Cruz played “Valentina,” an ex-swimsuit model-turned-special agent for Interpol. The movie may have been a comedy but motorcycle enthusiasts got all hot and bothered watching the sexy actress riding a three-cylinder MV Agusta F3 supersport bike while clad in a skintight red leather jumpsuit.
Rock singer-songwriter Alanis Morissette, who has sold more than 60 million albums worldwide (including 1995’s defining album Jagged Little Pill), may now be the mother of two small tots, but back in 2006, her favorite pastime was tooling around Los Angeles on a Ducati Monster. It may not be a Harley, but we forgive. The singer learned to ride for a road trip to Big Sur with a friend. In 2008 she told the Ottawa Citizen, “I find it really powerful … it’s such an open road to riding motorcycles and there’s a freedom to it that I’m sure touches somewhere in my songwriting process.”
In 2010, sleek and strong fitness expert Jillian Michaels of TV’s The Biggest Loser worked with Harley-Davidson’s Willie G. Davidson Styling Studio to come up with the design for her custom built V-Rod. The bike sports an orange motor, a custom seat, and Reactor wheels. As part of Harley’s March 2010 “National Garage Party Month,” women riders were encouraged to attend educational garage party events where they could also enter a sweepstakes to meet Michaels. “Learning to ride a motorcycle was an empowering experience for me,” said Michaels, “so I want to share that with other women.”
Back in 1968, world-famous French actress Brigitte Bardot was filmed cavorting on and around a Harley-Davidson Flathead Chopper while singing a Gainsbourg song. The sex symbol starred in 47 films before retiring from the entertainment industry in 1973.
International superstar Cher is one of the world’s most enduring sex symbols as well as a longtime Harley-riding motorcycle enthusiast, which, of course, just makes her that much sexier. Not too long ago, when the multi-talented beauty was not busy proudly flashing her butt tattoo in her classic videos or accepting Oscars and Grammys, Cher could often be found cruising her Malibu turf on a 1994 Fat Boy.
