This diamond studded, gold plated Harley-Davidson costs more than a Ferrari!
The creation of the Harley-Davidson Blue Edition took almost 2,500 hours.
Most of you have a dream bike. The one that gives you goosebumps. The one whose sound makes your heart beat faster. And then comes this piece of art.
Priced at an astounding Rs 12.18 crores, this exclusive Harley-Davidson Blue Edition shatters the previously held record of the most expensive bike title that was held by 1951 Vincent Black Thunder priced at Rs 6.3 crores.
The USD 1.8 million bike (excluding taxes and import duties, mind you!), is costlier than a Ferrari. If you plan to bring it to India, expect it to cost you more than Rs 25 crores.
Swiss watch and jewellery brand Bucherer joined hands with German custom bike specialist Bundnerbike to pull this one-off extravagant mod job.
With most of this time spent affixing a host of exclusive diamonds on top of it, the creation of the Harley-Davidson Blue Edition took almost 2,500 hours and it was built by a team of eight people from Bucherer and Bundnerbike.
That's just the beginning. With great price tag, come great features. Brace yourselves.
