World's Most Expensive Bike - Ecosse Heretic Titanium

Ecosse Heretic Titanium Series - It is the world's costiest motorcycle...

First thought, cost?......it is $275,000 (around INR 11000000), and only 10 units are available worldwide.
So why is it so costly?....Of course everything about it should be special, right? So here are the details :
It features the world’s first all-titanium frame, hence the Titanium Series moniker. Powering it is a 200 horsepower 2,150cc polished billet aluminium supercharged and intercooled V-Twin engine that makes 285Nm of torque, rather insane for a naked bike that weighs about 200kg.
The front suspension system use fully adjustable Ohlins FG700 Superbike Gas with a titanium front axle, while the rear suspension is a fully adjustable Ohlins Racing Shock setup. The bodywork is clear-coated carbon fiber, which includes the fuel tank.

Free Offer :-
Ecosse has offered to sweeten the deal by throwing in a free (and very spiffy) watch with every Ecosse Titanium Series sold - so, frankly, it’s a bit of a bargain if you don’t have a watch. And if that doesn’t convince you, here’s another angle on those mouth-watering triple clamps:
You can purchase the Ecosse Titanium Series from the good burghers at RobbReport.com, to whom we owe picture credits and probably an apology for maybe not taking this bike as seriously as we could. But then we’re not the target market. Incidentally, if anyone out there happens to know somebody who buys one of these, please put them in touch with us - we’d dearly love to hear about the Ecosse ownership experience.
Full specifications for this epic machine can be found here, and the down-at-heel can take a look at some of Ecosse’s “budget” models at the Ecosse Moto website.

YAMAHA FZ : GO CRAZY

Here's the latest offering Yamaha FZ16, a new bold 150 cc bike from Yamaha for India. I got my hand late on this bike but its worthy to share here.

Yamaha Motors which was lagging in India few years back is right on target to get back its reputation in Indian Market which it enjoyed for many years with bike like RX100 . After few months of launch of YZF R15 they launched new Yamaha FZ 16, a 153 cc bold bike. So today I finally go hand to check out this bike and present a road test here.


This new bike is priced at Rs. 65000 (ex Showroom), its again pricey as compared to other bikes in 150cc segment but hey, it is so distinct and so bold, people who want to unique will sure go for it. We know it is sort of trimmed down version of Yamaha’s global bike .. rather naked bike FZ1. And if you give closer look, its not a direct copy of FZ1, rather look like sibling to FZ1.
