Elizabeth Taylor with her "Purple Passion" Harley-Davidson Sportster
Elizabeth Taylor received the custom purple 1988 Harley-Davidson Sportster 883 Motorcycle—named "Purple Passion" after her fragrance—as a gift from businessman and publisher Malcolm Forbes.
Forbes famously rode the bike in events like the Chicago Toys for Tots Motorcycle Parade, showcasing a less-traditional, adventurous side of the Hollywood icon.
Elizabeth Taylor is thought of as being an icon of style and sophistication. But, she was also a biker babe. Her favorite motorcycle was a purple Harley Davidson. She also had several tattoos, and frequently hung out with bikers, which is not often how she’s portrayed.
