Bad Boys and bikes have a special relationship.
Perhaps the bike is one of the most integral symbols of being macho.
And not just boys, even girls find bikes pretty attractive.
That obviously means that people won’t mind shelling out a bomb for the right bike.
Let’s take a look at some of the most expensive bikes in the world.
17.
Kawasaki Ninja H2R.
When looks come together with performance, it is sure to steal hearts.
And that is exactly what the Kawasaki Ninja H2R did!
With a 998 cc supercharged, liquid cooled engine generating 312 PS,
the Ninja takes the road by storm, quite literally.
And when that much raw power comes with such a sleek and to die for design,
there is no surprise that it costs a bomb at $50,000!
16.
Hesketh Valiant SC.
This bike shares its name with the cold war bomber, and as such,
you can imagine that it would pack some power.
It has a 210 hp output with a 2.1 litre V-twin 2097 cc engine.
The looks of the Hesketh Valiant has been styled on a wild roadster theme, and it would
definitely up your image when you ride it!
With the chromium steel alloy frame,
it adds a certain charm which pushes it above ordinary bikes
and that is probably the reason behind the heavy price tag of $65,000!
But even with that high a price, the Hesketh is a much sought after bike!
15.
Bimota BB 3.
When you think of bikes, those cool race track ones definitely pop up in your head.
And the Bimota BB3 has been designed to give you the race track feel.
It is one of the lightest and more powerful bikes ever
and uses BMW electronics control!
It claims to give a power of 200 bhp
and even though its tires do leave something to be desired,
it is a great bike to have.
And with a price bracket of $72,000,
it does ensure that your pockets will be a little lighter too when you ride it!
14.
Tron Light Cycle.
These mean machines not only made the movie that much better,
but they are now also on sale!
The California based Andrew Collection has made a replica of the bike
and while it still does not leave a light trail behind it,
it does pack quite a punch.
The bike sold for a price tag of USD 77,000!
The stylish design of the bike makes it look like something from the future
and its sleek look will definitely make it the stuff of envy!
13.
Hildebrand and Wolfmuller.
Carrying the heavy tag of being the first production motorcycle,
the Hildebrand and Wolfmuller has a rich history attached with it.
Derived from the minds of steam engine makers, it hit the roads in 1894 in Munich.
And such is the legacy of the bike,
that when the first production Hildebrand and Wolfmuller came up for auction in 2010,
it fetched a hefty price of $111,626!
Not bad for a two cylinder, four stroke engine right?
12.
Confederate G2 P51 Combat Fighter.
One look at the bike,
and you would know that this is something which will own the road!
It exudes muscular power through its looks
and its engine matches that strong visual appeal.
It features a 240 mm rear tire which makes it slightly awkward at bends,
but hey, when you looks like that, it doesn’t really matter!
It has a 200 hp 2.0 litre engine and its design is pretty special as it relies on a massive
aluminum tube which also doubles up as a fuel tank!
With a price tag upwards of $119,000, the bike sure does leave its mark everywhere,
including your pockets.
11.
Coventry Eagle.
The Royal Eagle company has been known for making some fantastic bikes
and the Coventry Eagle is no exception.
The bike features a design which is a throwback to motorcycles from yesteryears,
and that isn’t really a surprise as the bike is itself almost a 100 years old.
But that doesn’t mean it has gone out of style or that it is cheap.
The Coventry Eagle is priced at a $120,000
and truly lives up to the phrase “Old is Gold”
And if you think that a bike that old probably doesn’t perform well on the road,
you would be sorely mistaken as this is definitely one meant for the roads.
10.
MV Augusta.
When a bike is designed in such a way that the rider comes across as aggressive,
you can easily take it for granted that the bike will be fast.
And the MV Augusta is that and more!
It has a horsepower of 200, and it looks like it belongs on the highways amidst the mountains.
The bike is a special edition.
Only 100 of them were made, which is probably why it has a price tag of $ 120,000.
But then considering that its parts are actually tailor made may give some comfort to the owners.
9.
Harley Davidson Rocker.
The 1960s saw the beginning of a new trend in the motorcycle industry – the Chopper.
It consisted of a modified steering style
and lengthened forks to give it a stretched out appearance.
And perhaps no other example of the chopper is better than the Harley Davison Rocker.
What separated it from the herd was that while others were modified, this was a custom designed
one which could be bought straight off the shelf.
Although the price tag of $130,000 could be a deterrent,
but with 1600 cc of power along with self-adjusting filters
and map controlled spark ignition make it a much sought after machine!
8.
MTT Turbine Streetfighter.
Also known as the Y2K turbine super bike,
the MTT Turbine streetfighter is the fastest bike in the world.
Equipped with turboshaft engines that are powered by the Rolls Royce Allison model 250 gas turbine,
the Streetfighter produces an amazing 320 hp at 52,000 rpm!
Now that’s called power.
And when you go that fast, you need superb tires
which is why it comes packed with the Pirelli Diablo tires!
This bike gives insane acceleration with zero vibration
and that requires some precision in its making!
Perhaps that is why only 5 of these are made every year.
And considering its price of $175,000,
we don’t think many more would be able to afford it!
7.
Ducati Desmosedici.
If you think this bike looks familiar,
it is possibly because it is the poster boy for super bikes!
Featuring carbon fiber fenders, and using titanium, avionic and aluminum for its parts,
the Ducati Desmosedici is a bike which is made for leather jackets!
At a price tag of $232,500,
the bike is definitely sure to catch some attention
as it zooms along the road at super speeds!
6.
The Legendary British Vintage Black.
First produced in 1948, the legendary British Vintage black, also known as Black Lightning
was a Vincent HRD motorcycle.
It had a top speed of 240 km/hour
and the raw power of the bike required an air cooling system to increase its performance.
There were only 31 of these beasts ever made which makes it quite special to own one
especially considering that it goes for $400,000.
Such was the allure of this bike that even a song was made after it,
the 1952 Vincent Black lighting!
5.
Dodge Tomahawk V 10.
Well, if you think this bike is more of a machine making super humans,
you wouldn’t be far from the truth.
It has a very futuristic design and its chrome plating ensures that this bike is actually
as heavy as it looks at over 680 kilos.
That doesn’t take away from its power though as it can still reach speeds up to 483 km/hour!
And it can also accelerate from 0 to 60 in 2.5 seconds flat!
But if you want to add this bike on your list, you will have to wait as it is still a concept automobile
and it will take some time before it hits the roads at $ 550,000!
4.
Confederate B120 Wraith.
Now this is a bike that sure does look like it contains a whole lot of raw power!
The bike is made with billet aluminum that is aircraft grade!
The Confederate B120 Wraith also has a mix of carbon fiber
which gives it a signature blend of old and new.
If the term beast would ever be used to describe a bike, this one would definitely be a contender!
Of course, there is a hefty tag attached with it.
Its costs $ 925,000!
But all said and done, it is quite a bike!
3.
Harley Davison Cosmic Starship.
There is no doubt that Harley Davidson is the most sought after bike company in the world.
And when they launched their “Cosmic starship” the first million dollar bike made by them,
there was obviously much excitement.
It used the artistic talent of Jack Armstrong which gave the bike its amazing look and probably
that was one of the reasons behind its hefty price tag of a 1.5 million dollars!
2.
1949 E90 A JS Porcupine.
Originally made in 1949, the porcupine is basically the bridge between old style motorbikes
and the new era of bikes.
It is often considered to be one of the most innovatively designed bikes ever
and many bike enthusiasts study it till date!
And this is also one of the most exclusive bikes ever, with only 4 units made.
What adds to its charm is that it won the world championship in 1949!
With so much history and exclusivity, there is little surprise that the bike comes with
an unbelievable price tag of $7 million!
But still, if this sits in your garage, it is sure to bring you some envious looks!
1.
Neiman marcus Limited Edition Fighter.
If the name of Neiman Marcus never comes up in the list of top motorcycle manufacturers,
it is probably because they aren’t one!
Neiman marcus are a department store and when they unveiled the Limited edition fighter,
it was only for an auction.
The bike looks like clockwork, and represents evolution of the machine.
The starting price for the bike at the auction was a hefty $ 110,000 but that pales in comparison
to the price at which it was actually sold – a mind numbing 11 million dollars!
Even after considering the fact that the bike is super exclusive and that it packs a very
innovative design, it is kind of unbelievable.
The Neiman Marcus limited edition fighter is not really meant for the road, but it does
offer an exhilarating experience and is definitely not one for the weak hearted.
Or the light pocketed either!
