If your motorcycle lover likes to listen to music while riding, this is a great gift idea. These motorcycle helmets are great for safety and have audio speakers installed. They are linked to your phone. 

They let you listen to music on the road without worrying about wires or things falling out of place. Another plus point is that they usually have long battery lives. 

Some also come with an intercom system that allows you to connect to other Bluetooth headsets within 2000m for communication. This can come in handy when you are riding in a group.

I personally use an externally mounted Bluetooth headset. But my next buy would be a Bluetooth helmet.

Yes, we did not recommend the latest Hero 11. You read that right!

It's more expensive, and 90% of the folks don't need anything that the Hero 9 doesn't already do! That's why!


I have several GoPro cameras and I would even dare say that the GoPro 8 would perhaps be just as fine for nearly everything I do.

Moreover, they can also act as a safety feature. They allow you to capture an event on camera, in case you get into an accident. 

GoPro is a popular brand that manufactures such cameras. But you can find many more in the market today.

I personally use the GoPro 8 Black edition since 2020. I love it and have captured a ton of footage with it so far in both HD and 4K.

8. Sketch of their motorcycle

Most motorcycle owners are quite proud of the machine they ride. And they often consider the motorcycle to be an important part of their lives. So, this unique gift will be a crowd-pleaser.

You can commission an artist to create a pencil sketch or painting of the motorcycle. But if you can do it yourself, that would be even better.

This is where heated motorcycle gloves can come in handy. These gloves are water-resistant and work on battery power or are rechargeable.

Using them in cold weather will make handling a motorcycle much more convenient.

Sidenote: None of my motorbikes come with heated grips — not the Kawasaki Z900 or the Kawasaki ZX-10R. So heated gloves sounds like a wonderful idea.

13. Phone mount for motorcycles

GPS is essential for traveling, especially if you are somewhere unfamiliar. And a sturdy phone mount can help a rider easily access their map or speedometer without stopping. 

So, a phone mount is a useful, low-budget gift. Choose one that has a strong, universal clamp to latch onto the bike’s handlebars.

And can withstand bad weather. Phone mounts made of silicon or good-quality plastic are the best options. Some even come with a lifetime warranty.

14. Helmet defogger

A helmet is an essential life-saving piece of protective gear for motorcyclists. But sometimes, it can be inconvenient to use them. They can get fogged up and condensation accumulates, especially in full-face helmets. 

So, a helmet defogger is a perfect way to get rid of this problem. It usually comes as a spray in a can. And It can come in especially useful if the rider travels a lot. 

15. Motorcycle lock

Motorcycles get stolen quite often. So, instead of always worrying about it all the time, you can gift someone peace of mind. How? By buying them a motorcycle lock!
