Apart from acting, Keanu Reeves has a passion for motorcycles and he certainly knows a thing or two about making them.
The Matrix star has made an appearance at the EICMA in Milan not as a celebrity guest, but as one of the participants of the event itself. He has unveiled three new motorcycles that has took part in designing and building over the past few years.
