Good Post for Vehicle LoverS!

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.

This past summer’s Millionaire Fair in Kortrijk, Belgium saw the debut of a magnetic floating bed that pretty much takes the cake for the coolest bed in the world, and the most expensive. Regular, conventional beds and mattresses aren’t seeing a lot of changes to their technology and structure these days, that’s where Dutch architect Janjaap Ruijssenaars comes in. The goal in his project was to make a usable artifact that doesn’t employ the standard laws of gravity, but another force to convey its image, like magnetism.

Ruijssenaars reportedly worked on the technology for the most expensive bed for six years in collaboration with Bakker Magnetics. Permanent opposing industrial-strength magnets allow the bed to float around 40cm off the floor and can hold 900kg. This visually pleasing technology could also be applied to other areas in home decor like coffee tables, sofas, and Japanese dining tables. How cool would it be to eat sushi and drink sake off a floating table?

The price of the most expensive bed (for the full-size unit) will run you EU€1,200,000 ($1.6 million US) and the smaller unit, one fifth of the full size costs EU€115,000 ($153,000US). If you are a millionaire and simply must have this eye-catching bed, the people at Universe Architecture would be happy to make it happen for you.

Most Expensive Vodka

Most any experienced drinker can appreciate a fine liquor. Whether you and your friends are constantly chugging from a handle of Viaka and chasing it with Keystone Light in your dorm, or you occasionally have a glass of fine wine with your dinner, it’s hard not to be aware of the quality of your favorite poison.

People have been getting drunk on vodka since the middle ages, but it wasn’t until the year 1975 that vodka surpassed all other liquor sales in the United States. Vodka has since then remained the most popular booze, giving rise to hundreds of different varieties that cater to everyone, from cheap vodka for back alley bums and ultra expensive vodka for young lounge hipsters.

When vodka production started in Russia in the 17th century, a keg (12 liters) would have cost as much as one and a half or two cows. Nonetheless, Russians came to love the smooth alcoholic beverage and taxing it provided Tsarist Russia up to 40% of all state revenue at one time.

But what is the most expensive vodka in the world available to consumers today? It may be hard to determine, but two of the most expensive vodkas are the Russian Stolichnaya Elit and the French Jean-Marc XO. Both bottles cost around $60 USD for 750ml of 80-proof expensive vodka. The Russian vodka is a grain-based, triple distilled and triple filtered in a “unique” freeze filtration process. The French vodka is made from wheat and is distilled nine times and charcoal filtered.

A new vodka is now on the marketing taking credit for being the most expensive vodka. It’s called Diva Vodka and surprisingly hails from Scotland. Blackwood Distillers makes the triple distilled vodka that is ice-filtered through Nordic birch charcoal and then for some reason is passed through a sand of crushed diamonds and other gems. Upon learning more about the most expensive vodka, you might find yourself wondering if the high price is due to the quality of the vodka or what comes with one of these bottles of Diva.

Every bottle of the most expensive vodka contains precious and semi-precious stones, including diamonds. If you want to live like a Diva, then you can expect to pay between $70.00 and $1,060,000 USD, depending on how much bling your bottle possesses.

Although trends in vodka consumption may seem to be steering towards the expensive side, vodkas like Pink Vodka and Zygo Vodka have taken the Red Bull and vodka concoction to a whole new level. Bypassing the mixing of top shelf vodka with an energy drink, these two vodkas themselves contain ample doses of caffeine and guarana to keep your party going into the wee hours. If you are more environmentally or health minded individual, you may want consider Liquid Ice Vodka, UK5, Rain, Georgievskaya or Vincent Vodka Appel, all of which are certified organic.
