If you are including back-up bikes then I would guess Easy Rider as I know the two chopper designs used in the film started out as Hydra-Glides.

Steve McQueen rode a Triumph in the great escape, but it was not likely that the German army used them, more like BMW or Zundap.

Yep, it was a Triumph TR6.   It's an Urban Myth (and one that I was told and repeated too for a while) that it was the same bike that the Fonz used to ride. After a bit more research (and the fact that this wasn't mentioned in a book on Steve McQueen that I was reading) it turns out that the Fonz's bike was actually a TR5, although it was supplied by Bud Ekins (the stuntman who actually performed the jump in The Great Escape).   However....   Can you name anymore Hollywood stars who rode Triumphs (and which model), either in a film or in real life?
