Jake Robison - April 14, 2023

Holidays throughout the year lead to the question, what to buy? When someone has everything they want, or you're just stumped on what to get them, take ideas from what they love. For those who love motorcycles, there are tons of gift ideas to choose from that fit every budget, from large to small. If you're looking for a gift for a motorcycle enthusiast, consider the following. Whatever you pick out is sure to be a hit.

Motorcycle Bottle Opener

Bottle openers come in handy and are perfect for keeping at home or hanging on a keychain. Motorcycle-shaped bottle openers are a fantastic, yet inexpensive, gift, so they're perfect for someone on a budget or someone who just needs a little something special to add to a larger gift. Choose the color or style for one the recipient will enjoy. Chances are, they'll keep it somewhere easily accessible and will end up using it again and again.

Phone Mount

Instead of a standalone GPS system, a phone works well. However, the phone needs to be within view when it's used as a GPS, so there's no need to look away from the road. Phone mounts today lock to the phone, keeping them safe even at interstate speeds, and fit many types of motorcycles. Riders can keep an eye on the road and know where to turn to get to their destination without having to pull over and check the directions. Give the gift of easy navigation with a phone mount for the bike.

Helmet Communication System

Communication while riding makes it easier to make decisions on the fly, warn others in the group about hazardous conditions, and more. It's safer and more fun to be able to communicate while riding, but most helmets don't come with that capability, especially if the helmet is a little bit older. If you're looking for a gift for a serious rider, a helmet or Bluetooth communication system may be a great option. Check out the option to find the perfect system to gift the rider in your life.

Riding Socks

Whether it's a long or short ride, the right gear makes it more comfortable. For the loved one in your life that already has everything else, think about specialty riding socks. Motorcycle socks are designed with the rider in mind, so they have features not normally found in socks, and they can help keep the rider's feet comfortable no matter how far they want to go.

Motorcycle Decanter

Those who enjoy an alcoholic beverage after a long day may appreciate a decanter. More appealing than the bottle the drink came in, decanters are also a great way to help add oxygen to the alcohol, enhancing the flavor. Decanters shaped like motorcycles are a fun, yet still functional, option for those who enjoy alcoholic beverages and who love to ride. Options are available to find the perfect one for a gift.

Gift Card

Most people wait to turn to a gift card when they can't think of anything else to get, but this could be the perfect gift on its own. Gift cards allow the recipient to pick out their own gift, so if they need a new jacket or boots, they can buy the right size and the style they prefer. Don't want to just give a gift card? Pair it with one of the smaller ideas on this list for a fun and helpful gift.

Roadside Toolkit

No matter the work that goes into taking care of the motorcycle, it can still break down on the side of the road. A roadside toolkit can help the rider get up and going again faster, ensuring the bike can make it to the destination. If they don't have a roadside toolkit or theirs could use an upgrade, this can be a great gift that shows you're thinking about their safety. Pick out one that's compact but has all the tools they might need if something goes wrong.

Motorcycle Boots

Way too many people ride with their regular shoes, but motorcycle boots can make a world of difference. They properly protect the feet and ankles, are comfortable, and can help keep the rider warm if it's chilly outside. Plenty of options are available, so it's possible to find a style that's perfect for the recipient. If you're not sure what size to wear, try going to pick them out together. They'll still love the gift, and you'll be able to make sure they can use the boots whenever they ride.

Motorcycle Cover

Keeping the motorcycle safe from the elements can help it last longer and stay in good shape. If they don't yet have a motorcycle cover for the bike or theirs is starting to show signs of age, this could be the perfect gift. Plenty of options are available to fit any bike, no matter the age, style, or size, so it's possible to buy one that will fit their bike perfectly and keep it clean. Take a look at the various options to find one that they're going to love and that's going to be easy to use whenever they're parked.

Radiant Heated Gloves

With the wind flying by, even if it's not very chilly outside, it's possible to feel cold while riding. Gloves help keep the hands warm, especially when the temperatures start to drop, and can be a stylish accessory designed to protect the rider in an accident. Gloves range in price, so there's something for every budget. If they like to ride even when it's colder outside, check out radiant heated gloves to help keep them warm and cozy.

Motorcycle Pressure Washer Bundle

Clean bikes last longer and remain in good condition, breaking down less often. While a cover can help, washing it regularly is a great way to make sure it stays in good shape. If your loved one enjoys washing their motorcycle or is looking for an easier way to make sure it's thoroughly clean, a pressure washer bundle may be a great gift. Care does need to be taken to choose a pressure washer that will work for motorcycles and not prevent damage, but the right bundle can be a great way to keep the bike clean.

Motorcycle Pocketknife

A pocketknife can be a handy accessory to have while riding. If something gets tangled, if something needs to be removed in a hurry, or if something needs to be opened, a pocketknife will be the best option.

One that's shaped like a motorcycle will be something fun to carry around, and they'll always have it on hand when they need it. With so many options to pick from, there's one they will love.

If you have a motorcyclist to buy a gift for, try the tumblers that feature motorcycle designs or sayings. There's an option for everyone, and these are the perfect gift on a budget. Many are designed to be more durable, so they're perfect for holding a drink on the go and keeping it as cold or warm as it needs to be until the rider reaches their destination. Look for the right design, a good size for their needs, and a well-fitting lid to find one they'll use all the time.

Creeper Garage Seat

Bikes need maintenance and care to keep them running, but sitting on the ground might not be the most comfortable option. A creeper garage seat is the perfect height for working on a motorcycle and has wheels to make getting around the garage easier. Plus, many have space underneath to put the most-used tools, so the rider will have everything they need on hand when they're fixing or maintaining their motorcycle. For the perfect gift, pair this with a toolset that can be used to help keep their motorcycle in excellent shape.

Motorcycle Keychains

Keychains are necessary, but that doesn't mean they have to be boring.

Instead, they're created with fun designs to match anyone's personal style. Motorcyclists will love a gnome for their yard that looks like he's ready to ride. Choose one that's more generic or one designed for a particular brand of motorcycles, and pick one that they're going to love. Though it's just a little bit of fun for the yard, it can be something they'll enjoy seeing in their yard each day when they get home. 

Custom Metal Wall Art

Many motorcycle enthusiasts love having artwork related to their passion, so custom metal wall art can be a great option. A large motorcycle with a custom name or phrase underneath can fit in with the décor in almost any home and will show off the rider's love of bikes. Almost any name or short phrase can be added to the artwork to customize it for them. Depending on the situation, they can be hung with or without nails, so they're perfect even for renters, and adding LED lights around the art can help showcase it in the home.
