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.

Most Expensive Bed

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?

world's most expensive bed

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.

Most Expensive Violin in the World

The violin, also known as a fiddle, is probably the most popular bowed stringed musical instrument. The instrument comes from Italy during the 16th century, and the oldest surviving violin dates to 1564.

The Lady Tennant Stradivarius violin was sold by Christie’s New York in April 2005 for $2.03 million US dollars. There have been private sales of similar violins crafted by Stradivari which probably exceeded this costly figure.

The expensive violin was originally owned by Charles Lafont, and the name comes from Sir Charles Tennant who what would become the most expensive violin in 1900 for his wife.

Most Expensive iPod Speakers

expensive iPod speakersPods are an expensive and ever more popular electronic device. As the iPod has spread, so have the attachments and systems designed to interact with the iPod.But here is probably the most expensive iPod accessory, and definitely the most expensive speakers being marketed for iPods. The most expensive iPod speakers are Hammacher Schlemmer Studio-Quality Triode-Tube iPod Speakers.

From the product website:

This is the first tube-based iPod® speaker system, producing a luxurious warmth and clarity prized by audiophiles and previously difficult to reproduce outside of custom-built amplifiers of a handful of live musicians.

Developed and built by German audio technicians, the system consists of an aluminum-encased amplifier housing four powerful Class-A tubes which glow gently as they generate warm, low-octave sound that is virtually distortion-free, considered by audiophiles to be the most pleasing to the human ear. The tube amplifier smooths over distortions found in modern digital recordings while helping to compensate and minimize the quality loss inherent in compressed audio such as MP3s. The matching double-cone, full-range speakers—designed solely for use with this system—faithfully generate warm, realistic tones using a single, highly synchronized chassis per speaker (reducing ill-timed and out of phase audio).

The set of speakers will only put you back a mere $3,999.95.

Most Expensive Turntable in the World

The turntable started out as a device used to play music by rotating a phonograph record on a a circular horizontal platform, but it has evolved into a music instrument itself and some models now are just as much as the costliest instrument. The record player was the most popular device for playing sound from the 1870s through the 1980s, but in the modern work-a-day world of iTunes and Sattelite radio, the record player is often overlooked. DJs and Turntablism brought new life and new expensive turntables to the consumer and keeps the record player adapting.

Vinyl isn’t dead, and The Continuum Caliburn turntable proves this by aiming for audio perfection. The price for the most expensive turntable in the world starts at $90,000 and goes up to $112,000, depending on finishes and includes some amazing technology. The tonearm alone sells for $12,000. The turntable uses a magnetically levitated magnesium platter suspended in a vacuum to assure there are no vibrations. Vinyl is alive and kicking because the most passionate and wealthy audiophiles know that CD’s or mp3’s sound can ‘t touch anything on the most expensive turntable.

Most Expensive Music Video Ever

Music videos are an important marketing device which increase sales for artists. Michael Jackson’s music videos were one of the first to use the idea of the short story film. This is one of the reasons he makes the most expensive music videos.

Michael Jackson’s videos have always been ridiculously expensive. In 1983, he spent $800,000 on Thriller, which would be about $1.4 million today. But remember that before Thriller, no one even came close to spending that kind of money, and he had to do it with limited technological capabilities. As technology improved, Jacko’s videos became more expensive, spending over $1.2 million on Black or White in 1992, and even more on Remember The Time. But if he can keep an oxygen chamber, a petting zoo, the Elephant Man’s bones, and an entire plastic surgery team in his mansion, it’s certainly no biggie to drop another $7 mil on a video with his sister.

Most expensive music videos ever made

  1. Scream – Michael Jackson (featuring Janet Jackson) $7,000,000
  2. Victory – Diddy (featuring Notorious B.I.G. & Busta Rhymes) $2,700,000+
  3. Heartbreaker – Mariah Carey $2,500,000
  4. What’s It Gonna Be – Janet Jackson (featuring Busta Rhymes) $2,400,000+
  5. Larger Than Life – Backstreet Boys $2,100,000+

Scream’s $7,000,000 price tag is more than twice as much as the next most expensive music video (Puff Daddy’s Victory at $2.7 million), and it’s easy to see why: he spent $5 million alone on 11 sets. Yet while watching the video, it all seems incredibly wasteful, not coming close to the film quality of Thriller, November Rain, orVictory. source.

Being an expensive video seems to have its rewards, as the video for Scream, from the album History Past Present And Future Book 1 ended up with a Grammy in 1996 for Best Music Video (short form). The video was also awarded Best Dance Video, Best Choreography and Best Art Direction at the MTV Music Video Awards 1995. The video also won Pop/Rock Video of the Year at the Billboard Music Video Awards in 1995.

“Blackie”, Eric Clapton’s favorite mid-career modified Strat has been surpassed in value and is no longer the most expensive guitar ever, despite that it was bought for $950,000 USD in 2004 by a guitar archaeologist.

The latest most expensive electric guitar in the world dethroned its predecessor at an auction in Doha, Qatar on November 16th, 2005. The Strat was signed by several rock musicians to benefit a tsunami charity, ‘Reach out to Asia’. It was bought one year ago by Qatar’s royal family for a million dollars and donated back to the Asia Program, bringing in $2.7 million USD at the more recent auction, whose attendees included Former President Bill Clinton. Technically, the guitar has generated a total of $3.7 million USD, making it the most expensive guitar yet.

Signees of this expensive electric guitar included Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Eric Clapton, Brian May, Jimmy Page, David Gilmour, Jeff Beck, Pete Townsend, Mark Knopfler, Ray Davis, Liam Gallagher, Ronnie Wood, Tony Iommi, Angus & Malcolm Young, Paul McCartney, Sting, Ritchie Blackmore, Def Leppard, and Bryan Adams, the coordinator of the project.

Most Expensive Piano

Have you ever imagined what the world’s most expensive piano is? Imagine no further. The most expensive piano in the world belonged to the Beatle’s John Lennon and was auctioned off to British pop-singer George Michael in 2000. When the topic of expensive pianos comes to mind you might think somewhere along the lines of a Bosendorfer, or a Bechstein, or maybe a Steinway & Sons “Alma-Tedema”, with its lavish artwork and hand crafted symmetry. But the Steinway & Sons “Model Z” Piano formerly owned by John Lennon is a fairly ordinary walnut upright piano that still bears a few cigarette burns attributed to the musician.

The piano was originally bought by Lennon in December 1970, and delivered to studios at his home in Tittenhurst Park in Berkshire, England. He composed and recorded the song “Imagine” on it, and was filmed playing the song on it for the first time to wife Yoko Ono and the Plastic Ono band. Believed to be a piece of British history by many, the most expensive piano in the world sold at auction in the year 2000 for £1.45 million (about $2.1 million) dollars to George Michael after a “who’s who” bidding war that included several other British celebrities.

After using the world’s most expensive piano to record songs for an album, George Michael returned the piano to the Liverpool museum that housed it prior to his ownership. He stated that “the piano was not the type of thing that should be in storage somewhere or being protected, it should be seen by people
