Any motorist knows that some models of cars cost thousands, hundreds of thousands and millions of dollars. But not everyone knows that a motorcycle can cost no less.
Today, the title "The most expensive motorcycle in the world" belongs to the motorcycle Ecosse Spirit ES1, which is estimated at 3, 6 million US dollars. On the creation and development of this model worked the advanced designers of Formula 1.
The most expensive motorcycle in the world was equipped with the best modern devices, which significantly reduced its resistance to air. It has a speed of up to 400 km / h. A truly admirable indicator! The most expensive motorcycle was equipped with ceramic brakes mounted on the front wheel in order to improve the overall performance of the brake system .
For the first time this modification was released in 2009 in the amount of 10 pieces, which were immediately sold, despite their enormous cost.
The product was delivered in two versions: with wheels designed for experienced riders, and a more sporty version. The most expensive motorcycle has a unique electronic control mechanism. Thanks to expensive materials, it weighs only 120 kg. The body of the motorcycle is made so that the legs of the "pilot" are completely "hidden", so that the speed of the bike is much higher.
Ecosse Titanium Series Ti XX must be added to the list of the most expensive bikes in the world. The bike does not claim to be the “Most Expensive Motorcycle” title, but its value is still impressive at $ 275,000. The motorcycle is fully assembled by hand. It weighs 192 kg, while having a power of 200 hp. The engine of this motorcycle was made from a single piece of aluminum, which is produced by Ecosse Moto Works Inc. The company is engaged in the manufacture of exclusive models for customers. As a gift when buying a bike, the buyer will receive an expensive watch.
The Dodge Tomahawk motorcycle also does not claim to be the “Most Expensive Motorcycle”, but it is quite capable of claiming the title of the coolest bike.
Its creators said that the motorcycle is able to accelerate to an indicator of 640 km / h. It is still unknown whether this has been tested in practice. Up to 100 km / h, it can accelerate in 2.5 seconds. The approximate cost of the bike is 550 thousand dollars. The motorcycle has an eight-liter 10-cylinder engine with a horsepower of 500 horsepower.
The list of the coolest motorcycles include the MTT Turbine Superbike, which costs about 200 thousand dollars. Only five such bikes are produced per year, and it is difficult to buy it. The motorcycle has a Rolls Royce engine with a capacity of 320 horsepower. The bike can reach a speed of 365 km / h. This is the only motorcycle with such an engine that is allowed to ride on the roads. The bike weighs 227 kg.
In addition to the latest innovations, great interest still remains in old, unique motorcycles. One such is the Brough Superior SS80, which was launched in 1922. At one time, its owner was the founder of Brough Superior - George Bro. In 2012, the bike was put up for auction with a starting price of £ 250,000. Initially, the motorcycle was created as a racing one (and Bro won 51 races on it). Later it was converted into a regular bike. Already in the 50s, the new owner of the motorcycle was Roger Allen, who returned to his original appearance. This man successfully participated in races until 1991.
There are cheaper models than those described above, but they are still included in the list of the most expensive motorcycles. Among them - Macchia Nera Concept Bike worth 200 thousand US dollars. The weight of the bike leaves 135 kg. It is equipped with an engine with a capacity of 185 horsepower.
