DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
David Lynch USA

His films explore the dark underbelly of American roads and restless journeys, most notably in 'Wild at Heart' where a motorcycle represents freedom and danger intertwined.

 Akira Kurosawa Japan

Though not exclusively about motorcycles, his exploration of wandering protagonists and physical journeys through landscapes mirrors the philosophical freedom of motorcycle travel.
