The world most expensive motorcycle the Ecosse Titanium Series costs a hefty US$275,000 and there are only 10 units available, Ecosse Moto Works has been building some interesting high end motorcycles for several years now. The Heretic is a hand built roadster with impressive equipment right from the start, a 130 horsepower, 1966cc V-Twin and top shelf pieces front to back. But, in pursuit of the fat wallet market, they’ve taken the Heretic and made a few changes.
It features the world’s first complete titanium frame and what bodywork there is, is all carbon fiber.Engenuity Racing V-Twin engine is now a 2150cc, fuel injected, supercharged and intercooled monster putting out 200 horsepower and 210 foot pounds of torque, at the rear wheel that i would say rather insane for a naked bike that weighs about 200kg.
The front suspension system use fully adjustable Ohlins FG700 Superbike Gas with 17 inch carbon fiber wheels, wheelbase is 60.5 inches and weight is cited as about 440 pounds 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.
But how many people actually buy these things and ride them? |
