Great Motorcycles For Our Fantasy Garage (Part-1)

So many bikes are made by the motorcycle manufacturer in the world starting from the classical model to futuristic models. Make the motorcycle world is so excited that so many people after its and are willing to spend a lot of money.

Here is a row of the most desirable motorcycles ever built hit the block today, and you can expect bidding to reach well into six figures before the hammer falls.

Motorcyclists can not resist debating the greatest bike of all time, so we will kick start a conversation with the first top four list of motorcycles that fill our fantasy garage as motorcycle world's most desirable.

1940 Brough Superior SS100 

One of the most desirable motorcycles ever built, the 1940 Brough Superior SS100 is a special machine, one known in its day as the “Rolls Royce of motorcycles” because it so beautifully combined style and speed. 

The 998-cc engine was good for 45 horsepower, and every bike that left the factory in Nottingham, England was personally tested by George Brough to ensure it would do 100 mph.

The SS100 was a wickedly fast machine from a company with a rich and occasionally grisly history: T. E. Lawrence — who owned seven Brough Superiors — died while riding an SS100 in an accident that prompted wider use of helmets. 

1934 BMW R7 

Master engineer Alfred Böning designed one of the most visually arresting motorcycles ever built, one that was equally advanced mechanically. 

The R7 featured enclosed bodywork, a pressed-steel frame and telescopic forks — a first for motorcycles. The 800-cc boxer engine, mated to a four-speed transmission, produced 35 horsepower and a top speed of 90 mph. 

BMW shelved the project as World War II approached. The prototype was sealed in a box, the plans tucked away.

It was all but forgotten until 2005, when BMW dusted off the R7 and began a meticulous restoration for its museum. 

Honda CB750 

This Honda CB750 from Danish builders Wrenchmonkees rocked the custom motorcycle world when it appeared two years ago. It’s the antithesis of the chrome-laden, unwieldy chopper, owing more to the Japanese “brat style” of custom bike building. 

The engine and motor are stock, and the bike has the usual suspension and exhaust upgrades.

Wrenchmonkees Gorilla Punch ended up as an exhibit at Kunst Industri Museet, the Danish Museum of Art & Design, and was then sold to a biker’s cafe in Dubai. 

Ducati NCR M16 

NCR is a small Italian outfit that makes Ducati’s sharpest apex carvers sharper still. The M16 sports a carbon-fiber frame, and every excess gram has been trimmed from the bike.

The swing arm, the fuel tank, the bodywork, the wheels — it’s all carbon. The M16 tips the scales at a mere 145 kilos without fuel. That’s less than a MotoGP bike. 

The souped-up Ducati Desmosedici RR engine has been reworked with aluminum and titanium components and puts out an incredible 200 horsepower at the rear wheel.

It’s got race-ready electronics like traction control, but you’ll still want to go easy on the throttle if your name isn’t Valentino Rossi. (Continue to Part-2.) *** [WIRED | TECHFLESH]
