Tom Cruise rides (and crashes) a BMW R nineT Scrambler during Mission Impossible 6 filming

Production has kicked off for the new Mission Impossible 6 film, and we’ve been sent these behind the scenes snaps of Tom Cruise (intentionally) crashing a BMW R nineT Scrambler during filming.

BMW is back on board for the latest instalment of the long running franchise. During filming for Mission Impossible 5, Cruise was caught racing around on a BMW S1000RR in the company of BSB rider Jenny Tinmouth – but this time he’s been given a BMW R nineT Scrambler to play with.

In the images we’ve been sent, Cruise is seen riding a BMW R nineT Scrambler through the streets of Paris, before crashing into the side of car (while hooked up to a rig for safety, of course).

The film isn’t due to be released until July 27, 2018, and with the images from Paris marking the beginning of production, we can probably expect a few more motorcycle related stories and snaps emerging over the next few months.
