Arch Motorcycle is a high-end custom American motorcycle maker founded by the famous movie star Keanu Reeves and Gard Hollinger back in 2011. The company headquarters is located in Hawthorne, California, United States.
In 2007, Keanu Reeves, well-known for its passion for motorcycles, stumbled on Gard Hollinger, a custom motorcycle maker. Their mutual passion for motorcycles started the grounds for the Arch Motorcycle Company, which delivers high-end custom machines today.
It all started when Keanu Reeves gave Gard Hollinger a Harley-Davidson motorcycle for a customized process. The only thing that remained original of the bike was the engine, while the finished product, its handling, and character were so appreciated by Keanu Reeves.
The actor suggested he and Gard Hollinger start a motorcycle company, but initially, Hollinger refused. Eventually, Gard was convinced by Keanu Reeves's persistence and said they could leave something beautiful as a legacy behind.
As of 2017, their range comprised three models, customized individually to customer preferences. The KRGT-1, 1s, and Method 143 were the three models, each one characterized as an American performance cruiser.
The 1s and Method 143 featured a sportier, more aggressive riding style and design, while the Method 143 was characterized as a concept due to its unusual aesthetics similar to concept automobiles.
In addition, the Arch Method 143 was seen in the Grand Theft Auto Online game and the Cyberpunk 2077, where Keanu Reeves has a significant role.
