5 Sepeda Motor Termahal Di Dunia

Kita boleh terkaget-kaget mendengar cerita tentang harga moge (motor besar) yang sama dengan mobil atau mencapai ratusan juta rupiah. Ternyata, dibandingkan dengan sepeda motor berikut, hal itu belum ada apa-apanya. Dari penelusuran berbagai media online, ternyata ada 5 sepeda motor termahal di dunia.

Kisaran harganya, paling rendah (tidak bisa disebut murah), mulai dari 139.567 dollar AS (Rp 1,57 miliar) hingga tertinggi 550.000 dollar AS (Rp 6,051 miliar). Ciri lainnya, hanya bisa ditunggangi oleh pengendaranya. Kendati kencang dan bertenaga, sepeda motor itu dipastikan tidak untuk balap. Karena harganya mahal, kendaraan ini paling pas sebagai koleksi.

Eksklusif
Kriteria yang harus dipenuhi moge termahal adalah dijual secara komersial. Jumlah produksi tidak dibatasi, meski kenyataannya dibuat terbatas atau eksklusif. Syarat lainnya, bisa digunakan di jalanan umum atau street legal.

Ternyata, dari lima moge supermahal ini, ada yang dibikin cuma 10 unit dan ada pula dibatasi sampai 100 unit. Sampai sekarang, belum ada laporan jumlah unit dari moge supermahal ini yang terjual. Kelima moge tersebut adalah:

Ke-5: MV Agusta F4 CC

Harga: 100.000 euro (Rp 1.571.750.775)
Sepeda motor ini dirancang sendiri oleh Claudio Castiglioni, Direktur MV Agusta, Varese Italia. Ia ingin menciptakan sepeda motor spektakuler untuk memenuhi strategi pemasaran sembari membuat versi yang benar-benar khusus dan unik.

Sepeda motor ini menggunakan inisial namanya “CC”. Prestasinya, mampu dikebut sampai 315 km/jam. Mesinnya berkapasitas 1.078 cc dan menghasilkan tenaga 198 PS. Dibandingkan dengan moge untuk MotorGP, MV Agusta F4 CC jelas kalah telak.

Lantas apa yang membuatnya mahal? Setiap motor ini diberi pelat platinum yang ditempatkan di atas tengah setang yang memperlihatkan nomor model dari 1 sampai 100. Dengan cara ini, pemilik punya nilai khusus, yaitu eksklusivitas dan hanya dimiliki segelintir orang. Motor ini juga dinilai sebagai mahakarya perusahaan tersebut.

Ke-4: MTT Gas Turbine Superbike
Harga: 175.000 dollar AS (110.000 euro; Rp 1.728.925.852)
Inilah moge yang memulai popularitasnya dari Hollywood! Bagi yang suka dan pernah menonton film Torque pasti sudah melihatnya. Ya… itulah MTT Gas Turbin Superbike.

Motor ini tidak hanya mahal, tetapi juga cepat. Rekor tercepat sepeda motor berdasarkan Guiness World Book Record dipegang oleh motor ini. Karena itu pula moge ini dijuluki “Most Powerful Motorcycle Ever to Enter Series Production”.

Selain menjadi “seleb” di Hollywood, MTT juga punya mesin yang berbeda dibandingkan moge lainnya. Moge ini menggunakan mesin turbin Roll Royce Allison seri 250, yang mampu menghasilkan tenaga 320 @52.000 rpm dan torsi 59 kg-m @2.000 rpm, transmisi 2 kecepatan otomatis dan rangka dari aluminium. Beratnya cuma 227 kg. Menurut MTT, sang pembuat dari Lousiana, kalau mesin dimodifikasi, tenaga sepeda motor ini bisa mencapai 420 PS dan torsi 69 kg-m.

Motor ini diselimuti fairing dari serat karbon. Di belakangnya dipasang kamera, sedangkan di depan dilengkapi dengan mata radar laser. Untuk menghidupkan mesinnya, cukup menyentuh tombol Smart Start.

Ke-3: Macchia Nera Concept Bike

Harga: 150.000 euro (Rp 2.357.626.162)
Dari namanya sudah diketahui asal usulnya. Motor ini menggunakan mesin Ducati 998RS, dan merupakan karya para perancang dan insinyur Italia yang ingin menciptakan motor dengan teknologi sangat hebat, ringan, dan mahal. Tujuannya untuk menjadikan motor ini sebagai The Ultimate Track Bike dengan konsep: indah-sederhana dan sederhana-indah.

Mesin Testastretta dipasang pada rangka yang dibuat dari logam ringan, yaitu campuran titanium dan aluminium. Dilihat dari samping, rangka Macchia Nera terlihat seperti tali-temali mengikat mesin. Dirancang minimalis sebagai naked bike, tetapi dari segi estetika dinilai mengagumkan.

Motor ini tidak diproduksi secara massal. Namun, bila ingin memilikinya, ini bisa dipesan. Syaratnya, tentu saja menyediakan uang lebih dari Rp 2,35 miliar. Orang menyebut sepeda motor ini sebagai mainan mahal!

Ke-2: Ecosse Titanium Series

Harga: 250.000 dollar AS (Rp 2.787.500.000)
Kehebatan Ecosse Titanium Series RR Limited Edition sehingga dihargai seperti di atas lantaran seluruh sasisnya dibuat dari titanium. Begitu juga dengan kedua knalpotnya. Seluruh bodi dibuat dari serat karbon yang dilapisi dengan pernis. Desainnya dianggap inovatif dan dibuat dalam jumlah terbatas. Bobotnya 400 kg.

Mesin yang digunakan, V2 berkapasitas 2.150 cc, dilengkapi supercharger, intercooler, dan menggunakan sistem injeksi bahan bakar untuk pasokan bahan bakar. Seluruh mesin disepuh dengan krom sehingga penampilannya eksklusif dan mengkilap. Tenaga yang dihasilkan 200 PS dengan torsi 29 kgm.

Teknologi lain yang menyebabkannya mahal adalah shockbreaker!? hlin yang bisa disetel dan biasanya digunakan untuk superbike. Rem depan dan belakang menggunakan billet ISR dengan 12 kampas.

Fitur khusus eksklusif lainnya, sadel yang empuk dan ergonomis, dapat disetel; plus nomor seri yang diukir pada klem setang dan pelat nomor. Roda moge ini juga dibuat dari serat karbon yang dilapisi pernis.Tambahan lain adalah aksesori mewah, jam BRM yang dirancang sesuai dengan desain dan warna Ecosse Titanium.

Termahal: Dodge Tomahawk V10 Superbike

Harga: 550.000 dollar AS (Rp 6.051.650.000)

Diperkenalkan pada 2003 oleh DaimlerChrysler. Waktu itu, tidak disebutkan harganya. Namun, media memperkirakan 250.000 dollar AS. Pasalnya, biaya produksi per unit 200.000 dollar AS. Namun allpar.com, situs remis Dodge yang mengutip kantor berita Reuter menginformasikan, Neiman Marcus membeli 10 unit moge dengan harga satu unit 550.000 dollar AS (Rp 6.051.650.000).

Untuk mesin, tak ada yang bisa mengalahkannya. Kapasitas total mesin 8,3 liter yang terdiri dari 10 silinder dengan konfigurasi V. Mesin ini dicomot dari supercar Dodge Viper yang dibanggakan Chyrsler pada awal 1990-an.

Diklaim mampu mencapai kecepatan 640 km/jam dengan beratnya yang total 680 kg. Keunikannya, motor ini punya suspensi independent 4-roda. Kedua roda depan dan belakang dipasang tandem sehingga konfigurasi roda-rodanya mirip dengan ATV. Akselerasi 0–96 km/jam hanya 2,5 detik (ada yang memperkirakan di bawah 2 detik). Dikabarkan motor tidak boleh digunakan di jalan raya umum! Karena itu pula, nasib moge ini sekarang tidak begitu jelas.

Tahun lalu muncul tiruannya yang dibuat di China. Mesin yang digunakan 150 cc dan ditawarkan dengan harga 1.400 dollar AS (Rp 15.575.000). Namanya KMD Tron. Kini ia juga dijual di Amerika dengan harga 1.180 dollar AS atau Rp 13.216.500.

Ducati Monster 696

Lighter, sleeker and optimised for sporty riding - the 2008 Ducati Monster 696

Ducati released the first official pics of the 2008 Monster 696 in November last year. The all-new Monster wasn’t as radical as we’d been hoping for, but we still liked the bike anyway. The motorcycle press worldwide was recently given a chance to ride the 696, and more details on the bike are now available.

Designed for the city and for twisty mountain roads, the Monster 696 features improved ergonomics, a low seat height (770mm), and fully digital instrumentation, which among other things, also has a built-in lap-timer and is compatible with Ducati’s DDA (Ducati Data Analyser) system.

The Monster 696’s air-cooled L-twin engine only makes a modest 80bhp and 69Nm of torque, but given that the bike only weighs 152 kilos dry, performance should be at least reasonably sprightly. Ducati also say the Monster 696’s steel-tube trellis frame is stiffer than ever before, and along with the new aluminium swingarm, the whole package has been optimized for high-speed stability.

Looks all right we suppose, though we do wish Ducati had been a bit braver with the 696's styling...

The suspension comprises of a 43mm Showa USD front fork, and a preload-adjustable Sachs monoshock. The bike rides on 17-inch wheels, shod with 120/60 (front) and 160/60 (rear) ZR-rated rubber. Other bits include Ducati’s APTC slipper clutch, six-speed gearbox, twin 320mm brake discs (Brembo) with radial-mount four-piston calipers at the front, and 245mm rear brake disc.

MCN’s Adam Child, who recently rode the 696 in Barcelona, says, ‘On first impressions it kind of feels like the old Monster – there is a lot of character and feel of the old machine – like the position of the tank and the trellis frame. But the new bike is way, way better. The Monster now handles a lot better than the old one. The old Monster had a tendency to understeer, but the 696 handles beautifully with really sharp steering.’

‘Brembo brakes and no weight amount to great stopping power, and it comes with a slipper clutch as standard, so there is no worry for new riders about the engine braking from the v-twin. But the thing that really impressed about the monster is just how good the gearbox and fuelling is,’ says Child.

For those who want a bit more style and exclusivity, Ducati have also released the Monster 696+ which is a specially customized variant of the regular Monster. The 696+ is fitted with a small front fairing and a removable rear seat cowl. But that’s not all – a very wide range of accessories is being made available for the 696. The list of optional fancy bits includes titanium silencers (supplied with a new ECU and air-filter), carbon racing exhaust system, a special touring seat made of high-density foam, LED turn indicators, shorter tail guard, and many carbonfibre bits and pieces.

Secondhand Honda CB600F Hornet, Toughest Bike

T

he engine from the old model Honda CBR600 sportbike, detuned via smaller carburetors for more midrange, in a new steel backbone frame but with wide, flat bars and no fairing. It has budget clocks and basic specifications. Early models had a 16 inch front wheel this was later switched for a 17 inch. A 5mm increase in the wheelbase tamed the Honda Hornet's manic nature a little. Later on there was a half-faired option. The Honda Hornet was revamped in 2003.

Early models of the Honda Hornet CB600F can be twitchy. The engine's great, but the 16 inch front wheel and bouncy suspension can make it a handful on bumpy roads, though the wide bars help you keep it pointing in the right direction. Fuel efficiency and poor range spoil the picture 12.5km/l. And 145km to reserve is typical, so don't try touring on a Honda Hornet CB600F. And forget throw-over panniers with that high-level exhaust. In late 1999 it got a 17 inch front wheel to improve handling, with a 120 section tyre in 2000 to sweeten the steering.

For the people thinking about quality of the Honda CB600F. This is one of the toughest motorcycles ever built – and it's detuned to boot. Keep the oil changed and it won't break. The one weakish spot is the camchain tensioner, which may stick – listen for a rattle on start-up that goes away as the engine warms. Unbolting the tensioner unit from the back of the block and fitting a new one is a 15-minute job and the unit costs not that much. Enthusiastic wheelie merchants might break second gear and will certainly nadger the steering head bearings, but that's it.

The Honda CB600F Hornet is somewhat of a cult bike, so holds its value quite well. Yamaha's old-model FZS600 Fazer is the obvious rival: similar performance, better economy and range, excellent throttle response, comes with a centrestand and top fairing but without the Honda Hornet's lunatic edge.

Fusion Motorcycles - “The Machine” Performance

Fusion Motorcycles is a small manufacturing company producing some of the most unique motorcycles on the market. Combining form, function, style, and performance, this recipe creates the ultimate riding machine. They manufacture a limited quantity in order to pay fine attention to every detail. They pride ourselves in delivering a machine of utmost quality. The company produce limited volume production machines to keep the uniqueness and individual feeling of such a rare motorcycle.

Will Thibeault, the owner and designer, has 12 years manufacturing experience. In this experience he has worked for other motorcycle manufacturing companies and has been sought after by many others. After designing and building motorcycles for other companies he decided to venture out and build high quality, high-end performance machines of his own. With generations of motorcycle enthusiasts in his family, including the famous “lucky Thibeault” wall of death rider, it was only natural for him to continue the enthusiasm by producing such fine machines.


To date the company is ready to produce its first model, “The Machine”. With it’s proprietary frame design, all aluminum construction and race inspired performance; it will be the most unique riding machine on the market. The concept of “The Machine” came from countless hours of conceptual drawing and Cad design. Wanting to construct a bike like no other helped conceive the idea of a frame using lightweight aluminum and absolutely no welds. Strong and light, using the motor and transmission as a stressed member, the frame has no flex. Every part is precision machined from 6061 T6 aircraft aluminum to ensure a strong precise frame. The engine is an 80 inch Harley Davidson with a five speed FXR transmission.

The front end reminiscent of an old “Indian Scout” and inspired by the race bike “Brittan V1000″, is a girder type front end also made of billet aluminum. In the rear, there is a brembo single sided swing arm with matching brembo 17″ wheels.

2008 Ecosse Spirit ES1 Motorcycle Performance

Broadly, there are three areas that combine to make speed. Naturally, engine power is one and weight is another. However, few competitors outside the Bonneville Salt Flats appear to give as much thought to the third: aerodynamics. The Ecosse Spirit ES1 is a radical new concept threatening to turn motorcycle performance on its head.
The concept involves redesigning and saving space (and therefore weight) within the machine, wrapping it in an inspired fairing and theoretically ending up with a lighter and more aero efficient motorcycle.

Research shows that the various bits of motorcycle and rider that stick out into the windblast create an aerodynamically inefficient object. By changing the rider's crouch to an almost kneeling position, and tucking his feet in at the rear, an aerodynamic saving of around 50% can be found. Computer analysis of the Ecosse Spirit has demonstrated a drag coefficient approximately twice as efficient as a standard superbike. Projected weight is a hungry 265 lbs, and with current superbike power output those figures model to a very respectable 220 mph.

The men behind the project are Dick Glover, a Technical Director with a top Formula 1 team, and Andy LeFleming, whose F1 resume includes the design of the first carbon-fiber gearbox. Their search for a partner with proven expertise inevitably led them to Don Atchison at his Colorado-based Ecosse Moto Works (www.ecossemoto.com). With their combined level of engineering credibility, we give the project's assertions serious credence.


"The world's fastest, lightest, and best-handling superbike" claim might sound unlikely, but with credentialed minds such as these making the declarations, at this stage it is tempting to give them the benefit of the doubt. Glover confidently states that "the results will have to be proven on track, and we're prepared to do just that."

Even so, with just this basic wind-tunnel model, there is clearly a long way to go before the ES1 turns a wheel in anger. However, Atchison has a well-deserved reputation for delivering on his claims. Watch this space

Suzuki Intruder M1800R Motorcycle Performance

India and the surrounding markets have been a wealth of sales for motorcycle manufacturers, but historically the bulk of those numbers were for inexpensive and economical smaller-sized engine bikes.
That trend has changed over 2008 with larger motorcycle manufacturers focusing on India's growing appetite for larger, more powerful models.

Recently, suzuki Motorcycle India launched its first performance motorcycles with the Hayabusa and Intruder M 1800 R (pictured below) for the Indian market, following in the tire tracks of Yamaha and Ducati.
Suzuki Intruder M1800R
suzuki Intruder M1800R

Yamaha launched the YZF-R1 and MT01 last year with Ducati rolling out its line this year, and while Yamaha's models are priced similar to the suzuki prices, the Italian motorcycles manufacturer are considered more expensive bikes.

Some say the high price point has limited Ducati's sales to fifty units being sold this year.

Speaking about the Hayabusa and M 1800 R, Atul Gupta, VP sales and marketing for suzuki Motorcycle India said, "These two are 2009 models launched this year. Once we see demand for these models picking up, we will launch more models from the GSX family in the next six months."

Honda will enter the performance range with its own 800cc motorcycles in the first quarter of next year for all of Southeast Asia.

Mike C Writes in with a nice Wanderlust Ducati and an unfortunate update on his wicked SR500 Tracker!


I had a look at some recent snaps thought you might like this for your ' Wanderlust ' bit.
It was taken a few weeks back by my buddy Rick H. outside of Rangely Lake NH.
The bike is my ' 98 748 with an 853 kit (among other mods) and 106,000km. on the clock.
The photo gives no warning of the hour and a half I would be sitting in bumper to bumper traffic, in the pouring rain, later that day.
Sadly my countershaft sprocket chewed the splines on the shaft, and broke the chain sending it through my engine cases just two weeks ago. I was thinking of opening the motor, just for fun, this winter anyway. Looks like I have some quality time in the garage over the next little while.


Oh, and more distressing news. My SR managed to ' shed ' its rear tail/subframe due to vibration...I am already McGyvering a tail from a Honda RS250 roadracer onto the mighty SR....Hey, I start shooting paint tomorrow !
