Hollywood hunk Tom Cruise escaped unharmed when he crashed his brand new motorcycle.

The COLLATERAL heart-throb was riding his turbo-charged DUCATI in Beverly Hills, California, when he skidded on a patch of oil.

The 42-year-old ended up sprawled on the road but was able to give concerned onlookers autographs before re-mounting his mean machine.
