The 7 Most Expensive Motorcycles in the World in 2025
The average motorcycle can cost a motor biking enthusiast anything from $5,000 to $20,000 to ride a new bike off the lot. This might seem like a lot of money, but it's still a far cheaper price range than what one would pay for most new cars. That said, there are a number of motorcycles that cost — wait for it — well over $1 million.

That's right, two wheels and an engine within a sleek body can cost millions upon millions of dollars. How? According to the information site Jagran Josh, the wallet-busting costs are mostly due to highly limited model runs and exclusive designs, cost-prohibitive technology too pricey for mass production and good old-fashioned historical significance.
Also here are four motorcycles that maintain value and 3 that depreciate quickly.
Price: $11 million
This bad boy was initially priced at a shocking $110,000 before speeding to an almost-unbelievable $11 million at auction, all thanks to a wildly singular frame that is made from a single piece of metal built around a 120ci V-twin engine.

Price: $7 million
This 1949 iteration of the Porcupine only produced four units, renowned for their lightweight frame made of aluminum (allowing it to excel in the Grand Prix racing circuit). That incredible rarity, mixed with powerful speed (thanks to a 500-cc DOHC twin engine), makes the Porcupine not just legendary, but extremely, extremely expensive.
Price: $3.6 million
A 'hyperbike,' the Ecosse ES1 Spirit can breeze past speeds over 200 mph due to its lightweight nature (256 pounds because of its carbon-fiber body) and its 1000 cc four cylinder in-line engine. That level of innovation, mixed with an overall rarity, allow the Ecosse a seven-figure price tag.
Price: $3.5 million
The Hildebrand & Wolfmuller was made in 1984, making it the first-ever production motorcycle — which almost makes an extraordinarily significant piece of antiquity and automotive history.
Price: $3 million
The seven-figure asking price of the BMS Nehmesis comes as no surprise — this is motorcycle that is literally coated with 24-karat gold and is loaded with an ultra-powerful 1700 cc engine.
Price: $1.5 million
Not just a motorcycle but a work of art, the Cosmic Starship is hand-painted by the artist Jack Armstrong for a one-of-a-kind design.
Price: $550,000
The Tomahawk is the only motorcycle on this list not to crack the $1 million mark, but it's still incredibly expensive because of its extremely limited production, powerful V10 engine from a Dodge Viper and a hyper-futuristic (and non-street legal) body design.

3 Used Luxury Trucks That Are Good Investments for Middle Class
A truck can be extremely valuable to a middle class family. There's ample space to haul items from stores, garage sales and road trips. Many trucks come with a backseat, too, so all the kids can fit comfortably. Drivers can even put a camper on the truck for an easy shelter during a camping trip. There's no question that a truck is worth the money, but are luxury trucks worth it? Trending Now: Consider This: Alex Black, the chief marketing officer at EpicVIN, says yes. 'They're good value because trucks last longer than most luxury cars,' Black said. 'They're made to work. And the luxury versions depreciate rapidly in the first few years, so the used purchaser gets the technology and comfort for half of the original cost.' Read on to find out which luxury trucks Black recommends buying, and how much you can save by getting them used. The 2025 Ram 1500 starts at more than $75,000 new. However, picking up a used one from 2019 through 2022 will be significantly cheaper, and the features are worth every penny, according to Black. 'They're full of amenities, ride extremely smoothly, and aren't expensive used,' he said. 'They depreciate rapidly, so you'll score a bargain a few years down the line.' Looking at Carvana, interested buyers can find a 2019 Ram 1500 Limited for as low as $26,000. Used Laramie Longhorn models were more expensive, starting at around $40,000 for a 2019, but still much less expensive than buying new. I'm a Car Expert: The Ford F-150 King Ranch is often praised for its comfort and powerful engine. It's certainly one of the more respected luxury trucks on the market. The same goes for the Platinum, which is also praised for its comfy seats and high-powered engine. '[These trucks] are extremely reliable, simple to work on, and there are many used ones available,' Black said. 'If you steer clear of the hybrid or the first generation of EcoBoost, you're generally good to go.' These models start at around $75,000 new. However, Carvana showed King Ranch models for as low as $35,000 for a 2018 model. Platinum models from 2018 can be found for right around that price, as well. Drivers can get all the features for half the price when shopping the used market. The 2025 GMC Sierra Denali boasts a powerful engine and seats with lumbar support for long drives. Black praised it for delivering a great experience for drivers. 'Smooth ride, luxurious interior, and good residual value.' However, the starting price for a new truck is $65,400. Black said although the Sierra Denali depreciates slower, you can find good deals for the 2019 through 2021 models. On Carvana, 2019 models start at $39,590.

How 22-year-old Supercars leader is handling the hype
Two race wins, three podiums and one pole - this Supercars haul is nothing special to Broc Feeney. The 22-year-old has surged from fourth to first in the series standings in one weekend, but won't be getting carried away with it. The Red Bull ace is putting off championship talk as he eyes a complete sweep at Perth's Wanneroo Raceway this weekend to back up his near-perfect performance in Tasmania. "I don't think that I've really done anything too special," Feeney told AAP. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Broc Feeney (@brocfeeney93) "I've won a few races and I'm leading the points. To me, that doesn't really mean much. I want to win a championship. "The big one for me is, no one's really backed up a good result from the weekend before, so I want to roll out in Perth and go one better - get three race wins. "All the other stats for me, I'm not really worried about it." What is Feeney worried about? Mistakes. The youngster wants to make as little of them as possible, given his slim 33-point lead over teammate and reigning champion Will Brown. Cam Waters is the only driver so far to have pulled off a weekend sweep, cleaning out Sydney after spectacularly winning the second race with a 0.0308-second margin over Feeney. But Tickford driver Waters, who re-committed to the Ford team amid interest from Chevrolet, has yet to recapture his dominance and dropped to fourth in the championship. Grove Racing's Matt Payne is third after denying Feeney in Tasmania, winning by 0.0550 seconds after starting the final sprint in 11th. "The championship could be even better for me without a couple of hiccups along the way," Feeney said. "It's just putting it together and not really having many mistakes - like at the Grand Prix, I qualified on pole four times and I won one race. "I'm in my fourth year now, so I expect to be at a level where I can drive well enough and execute." A 'no mistakes' approach is key at the 2.4km-long Western Australian track, where clinching pole position is as crucial as ever. The tight raceway has just seven turns, giving little room for overtaking. The past seven races held at Wanneroo have been won from pole position, with a total of 69 out of 97 races since 1973 won from the front row. Clean air will also be an advantage, with drivers dialling up on-track aggression following a relaxing of racing rules. "It's pretty wild. I've been pretty lucky to stay out of it for most of the year," Feeney said. "The further you go down the pack, the more out of control it gets and the more wild it is. "It's something different. It's exciting for the fans. Sometimes it's exciting for us, other times not. "It's just going to be about qualifying well and staying out of trouble, which is a lot easier said than done." Supercars action gets underway at Wanneroo Raceway on Friday, with practice starting at 2.05pm (AEST).
