9. Ecosse Spirit
Price: 3.6 million USD Ecosse Spirit ES1 is unlike any other motorbike on the market. With the collaboration of an American, Don Atchison, and two Britons, Richard Glover and Andy Le Fleming, a revolutionary motorcycle was conceived. Don became a dirt bike enthusiast at a young age, leading him to leave the corporate world and focus on his passion for motorcycling. Richard and Andy are two of the leading engineers and designers for Formula 1 racing. Known as the most luxurious motorbike with a price of 3.6 million USD. With the same principles used in building F1 cars, the team created the fastest, lightest bike available. The speed of the Ecosse Spirit ES1 comes from its ultra-light aerodynamic design and powerful engine. It is made with a frameless frame covered in carbon fiber and luxurious leather seats. The driver sits in a position that allows the knees to be close to the body for greater comfort and control. Additionally, it uses a different suspension system for both the front and rear suspension, along with handlebars attached to the front fork for better control of the front tire. This is a motorcycle that really behaves like an F1 car. The Ecosse Spirit ES1 will not have a frame, fork or head cover. Two swing arms, one for the rear wheel and one for the front wheel, will bolt directly to the bottom end of the engine. The crankshaft will be connected to the cylinder head and front wheel by linkages, in a central steering arrangement. The Spirit ES1 super motorbike weighs only 120 kg, while its 4-cylinder, 1,000 cc engine produces up to 200 horsepower. So if you include the driver (about 80kg), the power-weight ratio is 1:1, equivalent to supercars like the Bugatti Veyron. Maximum speed achieved with 170 horsepower is 354 km/h. However, these values are calculated by a computer, not on a test track. To drive this valuable car is not simple, you must undergo special training with professional racers. If you haven't mastered the controls yet, it's best not to sit on it if you don't want to fall.
