World’s Most Expensive Motorcycles

Written by: tom Filed Under: Vehicles, World on April 19th, 2007

Motorcycles have had mass appeal to the general public for roughly a century and a half. An American named Sylvester Howard Roper designed one of the first motorcycles in the 1860s. The motorcycle was displayed at fairs and circuses around the eastern U.S.. Europeans also had their hand in popularizing motorcycles and during the World Wars, motorcycles functioned as a quick means of transportation.

As the motorcycle progressed, the engines and frames became bigger, sleeker, faster and more powerful, resulting in the high-tech and expensive motorcycles of today. If you can afford one, a custom motorcycle built to your exact specifications is within reach.

Currently, the most expensive motorcycles in production are fetching in between $100,000 and $200,000 US. While researching expensive motorcycles, we found 4 bikes that dominate all others in performance, appearance…and cost.

The fourth most expensive motorcycle we found is the new MV Agusta F4 CC created by Claudio Castiglioni, the motorcycle company’s director. He wanted to create a spectacular motorcycle that met strategic marketing needs while also being something truly special and unique. The expensive motorcycle bearing his very own initials “CC” has a top speed of 315 kph (195 mph), 1078 cc’s and a 198 hp engine. Each bike will boast a platinum plate located near the top of the steering column showing the model number from 1 to 100, making this motorcycle all the more special to its owners. This Italian dream costs 100,000 Euros ($133,745US).

Next on our list is the MTT Turbine Superbike costing $150,000 (111,000 Euros). Not only is this motorcycle expensive, its also extremely fast. The Superbike is the Guinness World Record holder for the “Most Powerful Motorcycle Ever to Enter Series Production”. The turbine engine in this one is made by Rolls Royce and is capable of over 300hp. The motorcycle also boasts carbon fiber fairings, a rear mounted camera with LCD color display, forward-and rear-looking radar detector with laser scrambler, one touch “Smart Start” ignition, and many other cool gadgets. This bike seams to be pretty popular in Hollywood. It starred in the movie “Torque” and even Jay Leno owns one!

The Macchia Nera Concept Bike is near the top of the list of most expensive motorcycles at 150,000 Euros ($201,000). Built around a Ducati 998RS engine, its Italian designers and engineers set out to create an extremely high tech and expensive motorcycle that would be thought of as “the ultimate track bike” that is “simply beautiful and beautifully simple”. The Testastretta engine is fitted with lightweight metals and alloys like titanium and aluminum making it very lightweight. The view from the side of the Macchia Nera shows exposed belts and engine components, giving its design a minimalist feel while still being aesthetically pleasing. We should add that this bike is a one of a kind and not in produced for retail at this point, but if you have an extra 150,000 Euros ($201,000) laying around for an expensive toy, your dream might come true.

The most expensive motorcycle in production will cost you at least $250,000. The production is limited to a few hundred models, so you better place your order. The Dodge Tomahawk V10 superbike boasts 8.3 liter engine (505 cubic inch), and the 10 cylinders can bring the bike to a maximum speed of almost 400 mph. The 1500lb bike has an independent 4 wheel suspension and can reach 60 mph in around 2.5 seconds.

    The Dodge Tomahawk is not a motorcycle. Motorcycles do not have 4 wheels. The Tomahawk is a glorified ATV.

  8. Posted by goomba willie 22nd October, 2007 at 3:30 pm

    the mvagusta is the best bike of the lot and is probably the sexiest bike in the world also

    The MV Agusta F4 CC is off the hook, but my R6s is faster.

    That turbine bike makes the neatest sounds during the start sequence. Go to Jaylenosgarage.com and listen.

  17. Posted by Ramblin' Rose 6th April, 2008 at 8:37 pm

    If it’s got 4 wheels, it’s not a motorcycle; but it is a cool machine!

    . . .,dude!!!!…,the MV F4 cc agusta is cool and simple,
    but the turbine is way cooler !!!,than the tomahawk!!!
    ……sure it has a ,V10 engine but is it usable in the streeTZ!!!!!!!!,,.,.,.,.,,.,.,.,.,

  37. Posted by Mike 17th December, 2008 at 2:31 pm

    Interesting site, that 4th most expensive bike is nice looking but my 2000 Kawasaki Ninja 1200 cc has 202 HP and tested in 320 Km/hr.
    and costs around 10K. 0 – 60 MPH in 2 sec. If you put turbo on it you get extra 100 HP and that will be a rocket that would cost about 12K. And that is a quite a bit more fun for that price than paying from 150K – 300K for practically the same performance.

  38. Posted by Sunny 16th January, 2009 at 5:07 am

    I would like some one to give me this bike and i will show them how realy how to ride it with pride.

  39. Posted by Buffalo Bill 21st January, 2009 at 11:36 pm

    I agree with the others. Motorcycles don’t have 4 wheels, nor do they weigh 1,500 lbs! What did Dodge expect to accomplish by making it other than help Chrysler go broke faster? As for the other bikes, they’re over-priced toys for the super-rich. All of them would be torture to ride on a daily basis. I’ll keep my GS 500, thank you. It’s everything I think a motorcycle should be. It’s reliable, economical, a joy to ride, great handling, comfortable, and it looks good too.

    wow, the MTT TURBINE SUPERBIKE is realy cool, itis my dream :) i will have too get it someday itllprobably have about 5 mpg by the time i get it but it might be work it, ven if i drive it once and almost kill my self.

    Motorcycles are a means of transportation. They should not be made to show off how much income we recieve.

  74. Posted by Sathish Kumar 19th September, 2009 at 8:43 am

    Agusta and Macchia Nera seems to be a motor bike that we can use on road, the other two look like an alian for me…!!!!

    The other 2 can be driven on tracks and for records, but are not for use in normal occations…

    The most exquisite motorcycle i’ve ever seen. What to do with all these v10 8 liter engine blocks? I know!!! LetĀ“s make a huge bike with huge engine and huge performance!

    Response to Lucas:
    An ATV vehicle can go to the jungle and come out with a brand new paint job.
    Try to cross a speed bump with this bike without being spit from the seet!

    The only defect this bike has ( besides the price ) is that is not street legal. Wanna buy it? Better have a private track. Else you can’t take it to the streets…

    Cheers!

  79. Posted by lucas c 26th October, 2009 at 10:56 pm

    This bike is super fast but awkward looking. There is absolutely no point in doing those kinds of speeds unless your intereted in committing “hurry curry” no one can stop abruptly doing roughly 600-700 kilometres an hour without seriously impairing their pancreas.

    Why do you call atv’s atv’s if they are just like motorcycles with three or four wheels.
    and why are they making the newer
    motorcycles three and four wheeled….
    Can’t bigger people hold themselves up
