Tom Cruise pays £50,000 for new custom-built bike

American actor/producer Tom Cruise has reportedly shelved out a whopping 50,000 pounds for a new custom built 170mph motorbike.


The ‘Mission Impossible’ star fell in love with the Vyrus 985C3 4V Italian racer after he saw it at a showroom near his Beverly Hills home.

According to Vyrus director Ascanio Rodorigo, who personally delivered the bike to the star, the company took special efforts to make the bike perfect for Cruise.

"To get it right we had to weigh Tom and take his height and riding position — that way, when he rides it, it feels like a tailor-made suit," the Sun quoted Rodorigo, as saying.

Looks like the 44-year-old is obsessed with bikes for he already owns more than a dozen of them.

His latest dirt bike was made in Rimini on the Adriatic Coast.
