David Beckham Caught in the Saddle Again

Many of us are aware of David Bekham’s passion for the two-wheeled machines, so the news that he was recently spotted jumping onto the back of a motorcycle in Los Angeles the other day might not come as surprising.

The 35-year-old actor soccer star was riding on the back of the red bike to shoot a scene for a commercial for Diet Pepsi with Modern Family’s Sofia Vergara, as celebritycarsblog.com reports. The 38-year-old Colombian actress is the face of skinny can Diet Pepsi’s latest ad campaign.

“Great working with Pepsi again, shot a new ad in LA. It's out at the end of April, will let you get more of a sneak preview nearer the time...,” Beckham wrote on his Facebook page.

While we know for a fact the bike he is seen on in the adjacent picture is not his, we couldn’t help notice the great smile the sportsmen has on his face, which could be a sign that he enjoyed it. Or is he smiling at his sexy partner?

As said, Beckham is an avid motorcyclist, reportedly owning a rare GBP40,000 (USD64,000 or EUR46,000) Ducati Desmosedici that he only rides on a racetrack, and was also seen taking a Ducati Monster 1100 out for a test drive in August 2010.

However, the most recent addition to his stable is a Hellcat Combat motorcycle, a limited edition variant of the second and final generation of the Hellcat series, priced at GBP55,000 (USD88,000 or EUR63,400). The Confederate radial F131 CID engine powering this mean machine develops no less than 149 horsepower and 150 ft. lbs. (203 Nm).
