Somewhere in UsefulNotes/TheWestMidlands, a gang of devil-worshipping outlaw bikers are attacked and massacred in the middle of a ritual by a rival, secular, chapter, led by the psychopathic Roach. The demon summoned during the ritual takes advantage of the interruption to possess the dead Satanist leader's classic Norton Commando motorbike.
Some time later, the bike is purchased by amiable motorbike courier Noddy, who is unaware that his purchase is out for revenge on the killers of its summoner, and the blood of everyone who crosses its path. Noddy, his girlfriend, a camp vicar, and an increasingly bemused police detective find themselves the only people who can end the bike's reign of terror.

''I Bought A Vampire Motorcycle'' is a British comedy-horror BMovie from 1990, notable for its unexpectedly good effects, humour, and highly recognisable cast.
Somewhere in the West Midlands, a gang of devil-worshipping outlaw bikers are attacked and massacred in the middle of a ritual by a rival, secular, chapter, led by the psychopathic Roach. The demon summoned during the ritual takes advantage of the interruption to possess the dead Satanist leader's classic Norton Commando motorbike.
Some time later, the bike is purchased by amiable biker Noddy, who is unaware that his purchase is out for revenge on the killers of its summoner, and the blood of everyone who crosses its path. Noddy, his girlfriend, a camp vicar, and an increasingly bemused police detective find themselves the only people who can end the bike's reign of terror.

!!This film provides examples of:
* AssholeVictim: The bike's main target, Roach, is also a casual murderer for kicks.
* AttackOfTheKillerWhatever: A motorbike
* ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: A vampire motorcycle gets purchased.
* MadeOfPlasticine: All over the place, but especially when the bike kills the tea lady at the hospital. It is not, in fact, possible to cleanly bisect somebody by crushing them between a wall and a tea trolley.
* OrIsIt: At the very end of the film, the bike's old fuel tank, which Noddy replaced at the beginning and forgot about, sucks down a blood-smeared rag.
* ShoutOut:
** The moment when Roach fires a crossbow bolt into the top of the bar at the pub is a Shout Out to a long-running series of British TV adverts for Strongbow cider.
** Noddy is probably named after Slade lead singer Noddy Holder.
** The scene where Noddy has nightmares about his dead friend Buzzer is a parody of a similar scene in ''Film/AnAmericanWerewolfInLondon.
* TalkingPoo: Noddy's nightmare has a talking poo with Buzzer's face that ends up attacking him.
* WeakenedByTheLight: The bike is finally destroyed by ultraviolet light from gymnasium tanning beds.
