Keanu Reeves climbed aboard one of his many motorcycles on Wednesday for a ride in Beverly Hills, California.

The 49-year-old actor dressed casually in blue jeans and trainers for his two-wheeled outing.

Keanu had on black riding gloves and wore a jacket, sunglasses and shiny safety helmet that matched.

The Matrix star has several motorbikes and was cruising around in a British-made Norton motorcycle.

The Beirut-born heartthrob is a known biking enthusiast, who even launched his own motorcycle company in 2012.

The company's original prototype was constructed in Los Angeles in a collaboration between Keanu and designer and engineer Gard Hollinger.

On the Arch Motorcycle Company's website, Keanu was described as having 'logged tens of thousands of miles on all manner of motorcycles, all over the world'.

The site claimed that Reeves uses motorcycles almost exclusively to get around, and that he has only ever owned just two cars over the years – a vintage Volvo and a contemporary Porsche.

The star's relationship with motorcycles hasn't always been a smooth ride.

Keanu ended up having his spleen removed after taking a big spill on Los Angeles' Topanga Canyon Boulevard back in 1988.

The Point Break star confessed years later to Rolling Stone magazine that he was convinced he was going to die in the accident.

'I call that a demon ride,' he told the magazine. 'That's when things are going badly. But there's other times when you go fast, or too fast, out of exhilaration.'

Keanu recently has been filming the legal drama The Whole Truth due out in 2015.
