Bikers; we’re actually a really easy bunch to buy presents for.
The secret to buying a great gift for a biker is not to worry too much about buying an actual part or item specific to their motorcycle. The chances are you have no idea what motorcycle model they ride anyway, which makes it even easier to work yourself into a lather over what to get.
Nope, think more generic than that. Do they like racing or are they more into the cafe culture scene? Do they spend their spare time in the garage working on the bike or don’t they know one end of a spanner from another? Do they like to carry off a bit of the ‘biker style’ when they’re off the bike? Are they always talking about that big biking adventure?
You see, if you nail that down, then you’ll be able to pick a perfect gift for the biker in your life. Check out our table below with a broad range of excellent suggestions.
Just don’t buy anything from the table at the bottom of this guide; the bike lover in your life might never talk to you again..!

| Wheel Spinner When you’re lubing your chain, cleaning your bike or checking your tyre pressures, it’s a pain to have to wheel your bike back and forwards but this wheel spinner makes that job a cinch. Roll your wheel on to it and you’re good to go. | £29.99 | Grab one here |

What not to buy
If you’re thinking of freestyling it and picking a random gift, just steer clear of anything on the list below and you’ll (hopefully) get them a gift they’ll actually want.
| Description | Price | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Motorcycle wine holder Just because we love motorcycles, doesn’t mean we need to shoehorn them into our lives at every opportunity. Any novelty motorcycle tacky item like this would go straight down to the charity shop the next day. | £11.99 | Don’t do it |
| Stick on ears The only thing worse than wearing a pair of ears on your helmet is wearing a pair because you don’t want to upset the person who gifted them to you. Awkward. Just don’t! | £7.49 | Don’t do it |
| Tasselled motorcycle gear Tassles are what Hollywood directors made bikers wear in 1970s movies. Unless your other half is an Elvis impersonator, rides a Yamaha Virago or calls their bike ‘the steed’, then tassels won’t go down well. | Don’t ask | Don’t you dare |
