The Great Escape (1963)

Starring Steve McQueen, The Great Escape features arguably one of the greatest motorcycle scenes of all time. Apart from the barbed wire jump itself McQueen performed all his own stunts, and had a lot of input into the motorcycle scenes.

In the now infamous final scene McQueen was riding a TT Special 650 Triumph which had been made-over to look like a wartime BMW.
