Strong winds were blamed for the crash on a busy street. The bike struck a pavement and threw Hasselhoff against a roadside pole, while Bach was dumped in the gutter.
Fifty-year-old Hasselhoff was treated at the UCLA Medical Centre for possible lower back fractures, a broken rib and cuts and bruises.
Bach, 39, was treated for a fractured ankle and a broken wrist.
"They are in a stable condition," said Warren Cowan, said a spokesman. He said the actor had been forced to cancel trips and interviews to promote his forthcoming film, Baywatch: Hawaiian Wedding.
Hasselhoff, best known for his role as Baywatchlifeguard Mitch Buchannon, also starred in the 1980s television hit Knight Rider.
