The Most Expensive Choppers

The Most Expensive Choppers






Dodge Tomahawk



The Dodge Tomahawk, a 1,500-lb. motorcycle with four wheels, has a Dodge Viper’s V10 engine and can go from zero to 60 mph in 2.5 seconds. The top speed is estimated to be more than 300 mph. The vehicle, which made its debut at the 2003 North American International Auto Show in Detroit, was reportedly priced at $550,000, but a Dodge spokesperson confirmed to Bloomberg Business week that two units were sold at an even higher $700,000.



Gold Plated Custom Chopper




This ornamented two-wheeler is more a piece of art than an actual vehicle. This unique bike is perfect for anyone who has a lot of money because it’s estimated value is around $500000.



Ultra-rare Porcupine




The motorcycle is one of the only four AJS E95 Porcupines built by British manufacturer AJS during World War II. This porcupine was built during World War II by British manufacturer AJS and is one of the only four such bikes ever created. For the last 20 years, this motorbike was on display at the National Motorcycle Museum in Coventry but, is now being sold and is expected to bring in a whooping $750,000. The bike was plagued by finicky carburetion and the magneto shafts were forever failing, sending AJS back to the drawing board. The new E95 featured cylinders canted 45 degrees to improve cooling and ease carb installation. It also got a host of internal mods and a revised frame. A pannier-style fuel tank lowered the center of gravity.



Legendary British Vintage Black

Jack Armstrong’s Harley




This bike was designed by artist Jack Armstrong. This artist is famous for his painting style called Cosmic Extensionalism. His style uses extreme and intense colors, textures and light and when viewed from different angles, you can see cosmic messages hidden in different parts of his paintings and his bold signature in the center. To add to the exclusivity of the machine, Jack has put a small sign on the bike that reads “If you are not Lady GaGa, Scarlett Johansson or Sylvester Stallone, DO NOT TOUCH THIS HARLEY”.



1928 Coventry Eagle Flying-8





The Coventry Eagle Flying 8 motorcycle got its name from the then high-end engine, which generated 8 horsepower according to Royal Automobile Club (RAC) ratings. Created in 1928 by the Royal Eagle, this iconic figure has witnessed the test of time. The bike has been owned by John Ellis, Ken Hodgson, Bruce Smith and Stephen Broadbridge. The 980 cc capacity of the engine ensured that the top speed of 80 mph was reached with ease which was quite a mean feat of that time. Other distinct features of the bike include the 8-inch disc brakes on the front and back wheels, and the Jardine gearbox along with the ghost silencers, which was a late addition along with the magdyno electric lighting and a steering damper which aided greater control at higher speeds. It is no surprise that it is expected to go for an amount as high as $300,000 if not more.
