Brad Pitt has bought a Suzuki DRZ-125 motorcycle for his son Maddox, who turned 11 on August 5.
The sport bike was purchased at a dealership in Ruislip, Germany, where Brad was spotted browsing vehicles last June.
Interestingly enough, this particular model is "made specifically for the youth and young adult markets and only reaches a top speed on 50 miles per hour," according to
E! News. The new DR-Z series bikes retail for approximately $6,200, but Brad reportedly purchased a used model, so the price tag on Maddox's present was likely a bit lower.
Brad has at least a half dozen bikes in his garage, including a vintage Ducati and a Russian Ural Tourist motorbike, so it seems only fitting that he'd want his son to pick up the hobby. A source tells
E!, "He wants the boys to be able to ride them on private land. It'll be a fun thing for them to do, and obviously he has a real passion for bikes which he'd like to pass on."
In case partner Angelina Jolie needed a little convincing about their oldest son's birthday present, he gave her something special too ... Click thru to see the $390,000 gift Brad bought Angie!

There's a battle brewing over Brit Brit!
Britney Spears has one album to go before the end of her recording contract with Jive Records, and various record execs are already anticipating a bidding war for the chart- topping pop star!
Epic Records chairman and fellow
X-Factor judge LA Reid is intent on signing the Grammy winner, as is former Jive head Barry Weiss, who helped grow the "Toxic" singer's career and counts Justin Bieber, Kanye West, and Mariah Carey as artists.
Desperate for his label to have a charting artist, LA Reid is reportedly trying to woo the pop princess through their growing friendship on the singing competition. Weiss, meanwhile, is counting on his long history with Spears to prevail.
"I have a 15-year history with Britney and would love to be reunited with her," Weiss told
THR.
The 30-year-old has yet to make any decisions, but the ultimate call will be made with the help of co-conservator fiance Jason Trawick, father Jamie Spears, and manager Larry Rudolph.
Who are you going to choose Queen B?!

Jennifer Lopez has filed a $20 million lawsuit against her former driver Hakob Manoukian ... claiming he tried to blackmail her by threatening to leak private information that he overheard while chauffeuring the singer around.
According to the suit, Lopez worked as JLo's driver for close to a month before quitting after an argument with her management team. The papers go on to say that in October 2011, he took part in "blackmail, extortion, and related acts."
The lawsuit says Manoukian was "forced to resign" from his job after he was denied "production pay."
On October 3, 2011, Manoukian's former attorney reportedly "made written and oral demands that unless Manoukian was paid $2.8M, he would disclose sensitive and personal information that he had allegedly heard while driving Ms. Lopez."
Lopez's attorney claims that this was "in total disregard of Manoukian's signed confidentiality agreement."
