I imagine that the best gifts for motorcycle enthusiasts would be something that is not only cool but also practical. We should know, having been riding for years and getting presents from our kids that make us go “Yeeeeah!”
So, if you’re gift hunting for a friend who loves motorcycles and not sure what to get them, look no further friend. We’ve got you covered.
I know that there are different levels of motorcycle enthusiasts- from the “I just love how cute I look on my Piaggio Vespa.” to the “I wanna ride through all the dirt roads I can lay eyes on during my lifetime.”
Whatever the case, there is one thing that all motorcycle users have in common, and that is the universal love for freedom!
Here, I’m going to give you some great ideas to help the motorcyclists in your life rev that engine and ride off into the sunset, carefree and daring!
THE BEST MOTORCYCLE GIFT IDEAS FOR YOUR BUDGET
Without a doubt, you’re probably thinking, “Aren’t motorcycle products expensive?”
Well, yes and no.
Just as with everything else, you can find numerous items in the motorcycle category to fit your budget.
So, based on that, I’ve decided to break this down into 3 categories- Low budget, Medium budget, and high budget.
These are mostly items that we have bought or received as gifts for our motorcycles over the years, including a few extras we’d like to add to our collection.
Just click on your preferred budget category to take you directly where you wanna be.
Awesome and Practical Gift Ideas for Motorcycle Lovers- The " THRIFTY" SHOPPER LOW BUDGET
This list is for those who are really tight on a budget. Or perhaps have a huge family (like ours!), and are shopping for gifts for the holidays. These biker gifts might be cheap, but they are still highly useful to motorcyclists.
Personally, we don’t mind cheap presents so long as they have a function and aren’t trivial like bottle openers in the shape of motorcycles or, even worse, yet another coffee mug.
So, if you’re looking for some trivial and funny items, then I’m afraid this article isn’t for you. We’re serious here.
2. Motorcycle Anti-slip Handlebar Grip
You know those moments when your palms are super sweaty or you have slick, smooth gloves and can’t grip bike handlebars properly? Well, this helps with having a comfortable and less sweaty grip, which makes riding a motorcycle safer.
3. Helmet Liner
Another really cool low-budget gift idea is this helmet liner. This is really important for both of us. For Pietro, it catches his sweat and keeps his helmet from sinking. In my case, it helps keep my hair in place so my helmet fits- while also preventing my helmet from oozing. Awesome and practical at the same time.
4. Collapsible Travel Cup
This is another favorite of ours (mine, especially). It’s lightweight and fits easily anywhere on a motorcycle. Since I’m not crazy about getting dressed just to go for breakfast where I only have coffee anyway, I found this very useful. This is because I can have my coffee in the comfort of wherever I am regardless of whether the accommodation provides in-room coffee service or not. Another bonus is that it keeps your drinks warm for a while and it’s reusable too! I bet your motorcyclist friend/family member will find this very useful and cool.
I use it together with the next item on this list.
5. Portable Electric Water Heater
This gift idea pairs up nicely with #3 above. This combination is one of the best gifts you can give a motorcyclist who travels long journeys and loves to camp. The water heater heats up water fast and fits perfectly in the silicon travel cup (which is heat resistant too).
With this combination, I never worry about breakfast time.
6. Transparent World Map Sticker
Next on the list is something that most motorcycle enthusiasts would definitely find awesomely practical (maybe not you, if you’re not on the team).
This really cool world map sticker is transparent so you only see the map of the world as in the picture of our motorcycle above.
I really love the feel and look it gives to our bike. Kinda like we are expert and experienced world travelers- Not that we aren’t, just that we haven’t reached everywhere on the map yet. We’re working towards that though.
7. Elastic Net and Organiser For Motorcycles
This is another great gift idea for your motorcycle lover mate. We’ve got several of them and we don’t go anywhere without one.
They can be used to organize contents nicely both inside and on top of the top case of a motorcycle. Likewise, they can be used to hold things down, using clips, tightly to avoid minimal movement while riding. How much more pragmatic can it get?
8. Universal Travel Adaptor
One of our favourite gadgets while on the road, the Universal Travel Adaptor is one item that EVERY traveler needs. You never know where you might find yourself, so this is a must-have travel essential. Buy this gift for your motorcycle lover friend, and they’d surely appreciate it!
9. Collapsible Water bottle
This is another wonderful gift that motorcycle enenthusiastsill love. Very much like the collapsible cup, the difference is that you get more use out of the collapsible water bottle. Also, what we love the most about it are the straps, which can be used to secure the bottle, and the solid plastic ring around the middle which gives a more solid grip.
Awesome and Practical Gift Ideas for Motorcycle Lovers- The " I CAN GO A LITTLE HIGHER" SHOPPER MEDIUM BUDGET
If you fall into this category, a great idea could be to either combine items from the “Thrifty” shoppers section above or pick something here.
Motorcycle lovers often tend to travel long distances and could be driving for as long as 3 hours (or more) in one stretch.
Therefore, for the perfect gift idea, I have included something that will help your darling motorcycle lovers ease the discomfort somewhat.
10. FOLDABLE HAIR DRYER
Let’s start this lift off with a gift for female motorcyclists. If you have one such person in your life, she’ll surely be glad to have such a practical motorcycle gift. Or maybe the guys would like it too. I don’t know. You know better so choose wisely!
11. TRIPLE PURPOSE ELECTRIC SHAVING KIT
Ok, tell me this isn’t genius!
A shaving set that can go from beard shaver to head shaver, to nose trimmer. To add to that, it’s also USB charged. What more could a male motorcyclist, out there seeking some TLC, want? Get this for your motorcycle enthusiast and thank me later.
Here’s another practical gift idea for both female motorcyclists and male motorcyclists. This drop leg bag fits snugly and perfectlyhigh on the leg by the use of straps around the thigh. It is also waterproof and resistant to minor crashes. Additionally, it looks pretty cool. Way cooler than a fanny pack. For travelers who love to take walks, this is also a perfect idea for a gift.
13. Travel First Aid Kit
We all know how dangerous it can get on the road for motorcyclists. Sometimes, we even find ourselves in the middle of nowhere. At times like this, it is highly essential to be able to get some first aid when an injury has occurred, and before help arrives.
This is why I’ve added this gift idea here. What motorcycle enthusiast wouldn’t appreciate something like this?
BONUS TIP: This kit comes in a soft bag which makes it easy to store in most motorcycle cases.
14. Electric Seat Heating Pad
The next item on this list is one of the best gifts you could give a motorcycle lover and traveler.
When we first began riding, we had a Honda NC750XC which was great as a starter bike but not the most comfortable on the behind for long-term motorcycle travel, in wet, cold weather.
Had we known before going on that first trip, we would have gotten a couple of these to keep us warm and comfortable.
Get this for your motorcycle person and they would surely levitate with joy.
15. Motorcycle Anti-Theft Lock
Ok now, who doesn’t like to be safe? Motorcycle theft is sadly a real thing, no matter the size. Imagine being off somewhere, coming out, and finding your bike gone. Ouch! Thankfully, we haven’t experienced that but we always make sure to use our anti-theft lock whenever we’re packed somewhere, even if we have insurance. I mean, I’d rather not have all the time-wasting inconvenience a stolen motorcycle will surely bring. Besides their sturdiness, locks like these are usually compact enough to fit in a side bag, thus making a really practical and cool gift option for a motorcycle lover, all rolled in one.16. Motorcycle Phone Mount With Charger
Where would we be without our telephones these days? Apart from communicating while on the road, motorcycle travellers need to be able to navigate with ease.
Nowadays, there are several mobile navigating apps that can be downloaded and used effectively (like we do). So this is something that will surely come in handy for your motorcycle lover friend.
What’s more, this mount comes with a wireless and USB charger cable so the motorcyclists never run out of battery.
17. Scratch Off Travel Map
Am I the only one that finds this really cool or do you too?
What’s practical about this awesome gift? Well, it serves as not only a reminder of the places where your motorcycle enthusiast friend or family member has been but also an aesthetically pleasing piece of wall art.
At the moment, we have a small magnetic map, and wouldn’t mind upgrading to a larger one, especially since we’re doing more and more travelling over time.
So, if you can see this hanging on the wall somewhere in the motorcyclist’s house, then this is another perfect gift idea that you could go with.
18. Motorcycle Helmet Wall Mount
Another fantastic gift idea for a motorcycle lover would be this helmet wall mounter. It also comes with a hook for hanging a jacket.
What I love the most about this is the fact that it helps to keep the inside of the helmet well-aerated while also saving space. It can also be conveniently mounted inside a closet or on the outer side of a wardrobe.
Awesome and Practical Gift Ideas for Motorcycle Lovers- The " I'LL BREAK THE BANK FOR YOU" SHOPPER High Budget
So, If you’re feeling like “I don’t really care how much it costs, I just want to make my motorcyclist buddy happy.”, then this is the list for you.
Once again, you can combine articles from the previous sections or
19. A High Performance Action Camera
The very first thing on this list of gift ideas is an action camera. If indeed, the person you have in mind truly loves motorcycles, then they would definitely be thrilled to film their rides and adventures.
Action cameras are designed to withstand tough conditions and still take really smooth and stunning videos (and photos) at high definition.
If you can’t afford a GoPro (which is one of the most expensive ones out there), then the AKASO Brave series is a great alternative.
These already come with free accessories, which is great value for money.
20. Motorcycle Tracker and Alarm
Wouldn’t you agree that a motorcycle lover would appreciate a gift that helps them have their “precious” bike safe and near?
Well, this gadget does that and more. It tracks in real-time using GPS, sends alarm notifications, and – the cherry on the cake- is as lightweight as a pen drive. It uses 4G GPS and connects with Bluetooth.
Another amazing gift idea for motorcyclists is a sound intercom system. This is perfect if the motorcyclist travels in pairs or even alone. They can receive phone calls, hands-free, listen to the navigator giving directions, or listen to a bit of music to stay alert. The rider doesn’t have to have a partner to use one either.
Among all action cameras, the Insta 360 X3 is undoubtedly, the most exciting action camera out there for motorcycle enthusiasts. We should know, we enjoy using ours whenever we get the chance. Although we’re new to the camera, we wouldn’t travel anywhere without it. It captures amazing bird’s eyes, 360 shots which you can then go one to manipulate as you wish in its very own app. If you’re really crazy about your motorcyclist person, you’ll get this gift for them.
Take note though, that it’s the priciest item on this list, but totally worth it!
23. Motorcycle Real Leather Jacket
Another really cool motorcycle gift idea is a real leather jacket, which can both be practical (keeps warm), and aesthetically pleasing.
What’s even more awesome, is that they can be used as a patch board for travel patches and such.
To be honest, I don’t have a proper riding jacket yet and this female leather jacket ticks all my boxes for design, practicality (can be used during cool months, on and off the motorcycle), cost, and colour.
24. Motorcycle Side Case Inner Pannier Bags
These bags are a real game changer for motorcycle travelers.
For us, it made things so much easier to organize and find. What’s more, we don’t have to unhook the side cases to get our luggage into the hotel. All we have to do is get these bad boys out, sling them over our shoulders, and stride in with confidence.
I bet your motorcycle person would think this was a brilliantly practical idea!
These are compatible with most panniers designed for BMW bikes but can also be adapted to other side cases depending on size.
25. All Terrain Motorcycle Navigator
Now, this is the mother of all gifts!
With the Garmin navigator, motorcyclists can go anywhere in confidence whether there’s internet connection or not. The screen is 5.5″ and comes with preloaded maps. You, however, have to make sure to get one that has maps of your region, e.g United States Maps, or Europe Maps.
The badass part of this gift is that it fulfills the practical end while adding a fun edge because with this navigator, motorcycle enthusiasts can discover lots of off-road hairpin bends, and curves to explore.
26. Motorcycle Heated Gloves
Finally, here’s another cool and highly useful gift idea for a lover of winter motorcycle travel.
There are several functions that your motorcycle person will love about these gloves, such as the touch screen patches on the forefinger and thumb, the adjustable straps, and the pocket for the heating pads. What’s more, it’s made of soft, pliable leather that feels super comfy.

Thank you so much! This is exactly what I was looking for.
Great suggestions — even for non-biker travelers!
I completely agree Lorraine. The travel map is especially appealing to anyone who loves traveling and travels frequently.
I love the world map sticker. Still only a motorbike passenger. One day I’ll be brave enough to drive myself !
We must drive somewhere together then!
I don’t have friends who own a motorcycle but I know some from my friends. I will recommend them these ideas. Thank you for sharing!
Great ideas! I actually do not have a motorcycle but I’m getting that collapsible cup! That would be a great gift idea for just about anyone. I can see it going in my hiking bag or the glove box in my car…and likely I’ll think of more ways to use one!
Thanks for such a great list! My grandfather, my father and my brothers are motorcycle enthusiasts, this list will be very useful for holiday gifts 🎁
Seems as though if you didn’t have the heated gloves that heated grips would be pretty awesome as well. My husband uses them on our ATV in the winter and loves them.
I am not a rider, but I have so many friends and family members that are! This is a great list that I will be revisiting over and over again. Great Ideas, thanks for sharing.
This is such a helpful list, I wouldn’t have thought of many of these on my own. Thanks for putting it together, it’ll definitely come in handy this Christmas
Thanks for sharing these great ideas! My husband’s brother is a big motorcycle lover and now we know what to give him this Xmas!
What a great list of ideas! These are so handy and just in time for Christmas. My dad is motorcycle mad and I was struggling to come up with ideas
Love the budget breakdown. Thanks!
