Neiman Marcus Limited Edition Fighter
Not something you would expect from a chain of retail stores but they are responsible for the most expensive luxury motorcycle in the world, thanks to its Limited Edition Fighter. When it was released it had a starting price of an already high $110,000. The Fighter ended up on auction for just under ten million euros. Some say the unique body resembles the inside of a watch. It could reach speeds of 190 miles per hour, and only 45 of them were made in this limited edition. Its creator said: “It’s our street-legal sci-fi dream come to life.” €9.9m

It’s top speed was a mere 28 mph and it weighed in at 110 lbs. The factory closed in 1919 so very few of exist today. You can see one in museums from Germany to Indonesia. €3.14m
Ecosse Spirit

1949 E90 AJS Porcupine

A rare and prestigious title for a very rare bike. €6.3m
