No matter how well you have behaved throughout 2022, let me doubt that your prize for kings will be one of the motorcycles that we show you below.
It’s not that I question your pecuniary capacity, that would be more! But it is that these rare specimens stand out, in addition to their mechanics and technological solutions for their prices, really insulting for the pocket of ordinary mortals.
Even so, some of them are no longer available since they are special editions that sold out shortly after going on the market. Of course, if I am wrong in my calculations and you have enough assets to go ahead with one of these Rare avisperhaps in the second-hand market you will find some at a good price. Although I would not trust much with ringing the bell in Wallapop …
To whet your appetite, we can start this luxurious journey with the most modest of our protagonists today, the KTM Brabus 1300 R. It is an exercise in style with the unmistakable stamp of the German Mercedes trainer, Brabus.
A spectacular and muscular machine from which an initial series of 145 units was launched, sold out in just a breath. At the time, just a year ago, it was offered for just 42,500 euros. Now you can sign up for the waiting list or look for one in good condition on the used market…
If we raise the bar a bit, we can aspire to owning an always elegant and sporty Bimota Tesi H2. This model, the fruit of the joint passion of Rimini craftsmen and Kawasaki’s Asian technology, reaches 64,000 euros.
Such an amount is justified by a sophisticated chassis with its unmistakable double front arm and an inline four-cylinder supercharged by a volumetric compressor. Of course the rest of the components keep the pedigree very high, Öhlins, Brembo…
Don’t leave yet, there are still more outrageously expensive bikes
And from an Italian-Japanese we went to a British glory, reborn and manufactured in the very French town of Toulouse.
The Brough Superior Lawrence Dagger is a very special version of the Brough Superior Lawrence, now sporting a hypertrophied carbon body, Fior fork, titanium frame and subframe, and a V-twin heart that’s quite a treat to behold.
Oh yeah, the price. A miserable 65,000 euros of nothing. Minutiae.
Based on a somewhat more modern concept and design lines, the Ducati Streetfighter V4 Lamborghini represents the communion between the glamor of the automobile brand and the indomitable soul of the Bolognese house.
630 units of this model and 63 more of an even more exclusive series called the “customer series” were awarded in just a few hours, less than 6 months ago. Its starting price was 70,000 euros, a whim to say, one day is one day!
Its base is from the Ducati Streetfighter V4 SP and it shows off carbon and titanium with voluptuous profusion for the occasion, as well as elements of the highest motorcycle goldsmithing.
The last of the exclusive creatures that we are pleased to present to you today is the MTT 420-RR, a very special mechanical beast created by the American Marine Turbine Technologies.
The around 236,000 euros that a copy of this model costs is justified by the craftsmanship of its construction process, in which you can choose different finishes and, above all, by the engine chosen to drive it.
Its heart is nothing less than a Roll Royce Allison turbine capable of offering 420 CV.
It is also dressed in carbon fiber, including wheels, and uses a massive double-beam frame with reinforcements, made of aluminum.
Yankee stuff. Let’s see who has the biggest…
