Dirty Harry Magnum Force, I love how the Moto Guzzis that the cops had been riding for the entire film, suddenly transformed themselves into Triumphs for this end scene.
The stuntmen said “ You want us to jump 800 lb full dress Moto Guzzis across 15 foot gaps? Hahahahahaha!

Clint Eastwood, British bike buff.
Arguably more of a Norton man, having fallen for a Norton Ranger he bought for sightseeing in London while filming Where Eagles Dare in 1968 not to mention a Commando S (the scrambler version) he used during the filming of Kelly’s Heroes in Yugoslavia in 1969. He also later kept an S at his Carmel, California home which is shown in a Superstar Profile filmed in 1978. In the movies, however, he was mostly seen on Triumphs, most notably a 650 TR6 during a famous bike chase scene through Central Park, New York, for Coogan’s Bluff.
Racing across rooftops in Istanbul? No problem for 007 !
