Top 10 Most Expensive Bikes in the World

For all the motorcycle fans, we brought you the Top 10 Most Expensive Bikes in the World. One of the bikes on our list costs more than ($11 Million), so read the full article to know about that.

One can think that why people are spending so much money on buying expensive bikes, so the answer to their question is it is all about the feel and engineering of the motorcycle. Many people buy motorcycles for doing their daily commute and some buy it to take the feel of the bike and its engineering but only a few people buy an expensive bike as an Art piece to beautify their art collection. 

Below are the Top 10 Most Expensive bikes in the world so far.

10. Ducati Testa Stratta NCR Macchia Nera Concept: $225,000

Although the Ducati Testa Stratta NCR Macchia Nera Concept is not designed to compete with a Kawasaki H2 in terms of raw speed, it is the world’s most costly motorcycle. The Ducati Testa Stratta NCR Macchia Nera is powered by a 998 cc V2 two cylinder engine that produces 185 horsepower and is mated to a 6-speed transmission. The motorcycle is made entirely of carbon fibre and titanium, allowing it to weigh only 134 kilogrammes. The fact that this work of art was only produced in small quantities justifies the high price to the enthusiasts.

9. Ducati Desmosedici D16RR NCR M16: $232,500

The Ducati Desmosedici D16RR NCR M16 is a lighter, more powerful version of the Desmosedici D16RR that costs $232,500, compared to $72500 for the normal D16RR. The usage of carbon fibre in all load-bearing sections of the bike, including as the frame, wheels, and swingarm, has resulted in a significant price increase. Aside from these components, carbon fibre is used for the fenders, tail, fairing, and fuel tank. The mechanical pieces are made entirely of titanium or avionic-grade aluminium, right down to the bolts. The engine on this motorcycle is a 989cc Ducati V4 with a total output of 175, but NCR M16 increased the power to 200+ horsepower at the rear wheel. The suspension set up is that of the latest Moto GP race bikes and the M16 comes equipped with race electronics such as data recording, traction control and user selectable engine maps. The NCR M16 weighs in at only 145 kgs which is lighter than the minimum weight regulation of a four-cylinder Moto GP bike.

8. Ecosse FE Ti XX Titanium Series: $300,000

The exhausts are made of grade-9 titanium pipes that have a ceramic media shot-peened finish on them. Only 13 units of the beautiful machine were ever produced. When the FE Ti XX was first introduced in 2007, the $300,000 price tag sounded ridiculously high for a motorcycle. Things have, however, altered with time. Given that this is no longer the most expensive bike, its exorbitant price tag appears to have become a reasonable price to pay. The FE Ti XX is powered by a 2.4-liter biller-aluminum engine that delivers 228 horsepower to the rear wheels. To keep the weight of the motorcycle as low as possible, carbon fibre is used throughout. The motorcycle’s seat is composed of handcrafted, high-end Italian leather.

7. Dodge Tomahawk V10: $550,000

Only nine Dodge Tomahawks were ever manufactured. Dodge claims that these aren’t just motorcycles, but rolling sculptures, and it’s priced at $550,000 for one. The Dodge Tomahawk, the world’s fastest motorcycle in a straight line, accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in about 2.5 seconds and has a top speed of around 420 mph!

Dodge was never known for making motorcycles, preferring to focus on muscle vehicles like the Challenger and Viper, but they are the creators of the world’s fastest motorcycle. When it originally debuted in 2003, it was just an idea, and we all felt there was no chance we’d ever see it in production. We were mistaken. This behemoth of a machine has four tyres, two on each side, for all four wheels, which are separated by a few inches and are on independent suspension, a two-speed transmission, and a Viper motor. The motor is an 8.3 litre V10 SRT 10 with 20 valves.

. The front brakes are made up of four piston aluminium callipers per wheel, while the rear brakes are made up of a single four piston aluminium calliper. The clutch is a two disc, dry plate clutch that is activated by a hand lever and uses a variety of organic friction materials. Although it may appear that this bike cannot ride like a motorcycle, it is equipped with a swingarm at each end and a hub-centered steering column, allowing it to lean and counter-steer like a motorcycle despite its weight of 680 kilogrammes. The steering system has a dual-hub centre, and the linkage is made up of a rocker and a push/pull rod with bearings. The steering yoke is made of billet aluminium where the grips are aluminium, and the levers are billet.

6. Harley Davidson Cosmic Starship: $1.5 Million

This bike used to be at the top of many lists of the most expensive bikes, but it’s now down to number six. The Harley-Davidson Cosmic Starship was designed with the intention of producing a work of art. Harley Davison painted a yellow and red paint over on a Harley V-rod with the help of famed rebel cosmic existentialist artist Jack Armstrong, then sold it for a flat $1 million after broadcasting and presenting it to the globe. Considering that a Harley Davidson V-rod costs $16,000, the Cosmic Starship’s paint job costs $984,000. However, keeping in mind, the fact that most of Jack Armstrong’s works go for an upwards of $3 million, this seems like a pretty good deal.

5. BMS Nehmesis: $3 Million

One of the first things you’ll notice about the BMS Nehmesis is that it doesn’t have a side stand and instead sits on its stomach. This is owing to the inclusion of an air-ride technology that allows the bike to automatically lift itself up by 10 inches with the single-sided swingarm and rear suspension, or drop itself to the ground, in complete comfort. As a result, the side stand becomes outdated. When it’s time to park, the Nehmesis gently rests on its side rails. You might be wondering what the yellow glitter on the motorcycle is for. That’s gold with a 24-karat purity.

4. Hidebrand & Wolfmuller: $3.5 Million

Heinrich and Welhelm Hidebrand, two steam-engine engineers, teamed up with Alois Wolfmuller to develop their own internal combustion engine in Munich, and the Hidebrand & Wolfmuller motorcycle was born. In the year 1894, this bike was initially produced and manufactured. This was the point at which flesh-and-bone horses began to fall out of favour and were reinvented. If you ever get the chance to ride one, you should be aware that there is no clutch or pedal. To start it, one must push it while it is going and climb on while giving the throttle.

3. Ecosse ES1 Spirit: $3.6 Million

The professional rider had to complete a two-week training course before being allowed to test ride the Ecosse ES1 Spirit. This machine is not at all like a typical motorcycle. There isn’t a single chassis framework to be seen anywhere. The front suspension is attached to the engine, while the rear suspension and swingarm are both attached to the gearbox. The motorcycle weighs only 120.2 kgs, which is done by removing unnecessary weight from the front suspension’s slender fork, which is driven through a steering-head and then back down. The front suspension comprises of twin A-arms that extend forward and their apices that define the steering axis that carries the front wheel spindle upright and projects. The handlebars positioned on the upward projected steering axis to give a smoother handling experience. Although the steering is entirely automated, it has a very natural feel to it. The integrated unique transverse inline four engine is the heart of this motorcycle. The knees can be tucked in close for better ergonomics and manoeuvrability in the sitting positions. The front and back suspensions are both made of carbon fibre, and the handlebars are directly attached to the front fork for better control.

2. 1949 E90 AJS Porcupine: $7 Million

In 1949, AJS was only able to construct 4 porcupine units, but they were able to bring home a World Championship cup thanks to Les Graham’s first place finish. The porcupine is a 500cc motorcycle with an open frame and an aluminium alloy engine. The horizontal cylinder heads of the twin-cylinder DOHC engine provided a low centre of gravity. This bike’s shocks are known as “Jam-pot” shocks since they are of a unique type. After twenty years in the Coventry National Motorcycle Museum, the Porcupine was made available to a limited group of aficionados.

1. Neiman Marcus Limited Edition Fighter: $11 Million

The design of the Neiman Marcus Limited Edition Fighter is pretty steampunk-esque, thus it’s priced at $110,000. However, this motorcycle is now priced at a whooping $ 11 million, making it the world’s most expensive motorcycle.

The chassis and frame are two of the motorcycle’s most eye-catching features. To provide better structural rigidity, it was manufactured and carved out of a single piece of metal. A number of designers consider that this bike’s look is at its pinnacle, with the motorcycle’s usability unaffected.

A number of reviewers were astounded and overwhelmed by the appearance of this motorcycle when it was presented to them. At the time, Neiman stated that this motorcycle is a development of the ordinary machine, in that it has been stripped down to its essential components in order to be reimagined and designed for maximum performance. The Neiman Marcus Limited Edition Fighter is Neiman’s interpretation of a street legal sci-fi fantasy. But how limited is this Fighter? Only 45 of these stunning metal horses were ever manufactured and sold. Despite the fact that the Neiman Marcus Fighter costs $11 million and looks like something out of a comic book, it is completely legal on the streets. The bike is powered by a 1966 cc air-cooled V twin engine that allows it to reach a top speed of 300 kmph and a 0-100 time of just 3.0 seconds. Although they made a beautiful machine, Neiman Marcus went bankrupt in September 2020.
