The Top 10 Most Expensive Motorcycles of 2025

If you’re on the lookout for the most expensive motorcycles, the chances are you’re either window shopping in case your lucky numbers come up on the lottery, or you actually already have enough in the bank to drop a six-figure sum on some new wheels.

For most, it’s the former and if you’re a habitual window shopper, 2025 is a bit of a bumper time for super expensive motorcycles whether you're after ultra-exclusive or a honed engineering masterpiece for those track days when you can afford to rent it out just for yourself... or your imagination is just very vivid.

In this top ten most expensive motorcycles feature, we aren’t looking at the weird and wonderful choppers that get built for celebs with diamond-encrusted brake discs. Neither are we looking at race bikes or machines that are featured in films and TV.

But at the same time, you might be surprised that there’s little from the ‘mainstream’ brands – however exotic and exclusive they may be. With the cheapest of our Top 10 starting at £41,495, there’s no room for BMW with its M1000RR, MV Agusta, Honda, with its Goldwing Tour DCT , and no place either for Indian, whose priciest bike, the RoadMaster Limited, costs £38,000.

But here’s our Top 10 most expensive production motorcycles of 2025 – in price ascending order!

10. Harley-Davidson CVO Road Glide ST – £41,495

• Engine 1977cc V-twin Power 126bhp Torque 142ft/lb 
• Weight 380kg Seat height 720mm Price From £41,495

CVOs (standing for Custom Vehicle Operations) are Harley-Davidson’s bespoke, top spec, limited edition versions of its models. The US firm does different ones each year with flashier paint, uprated engines and all the goodies it can think of out of its accessories catalogue with the results being the priciest production Harleys of all and the ST is its most expensive offering for 2025. (There’s also a CVO version of its Road Glide on offer for 2025, but that’s slightly cheaper at £40,495.)

As such, the CVO Road Glide ST is based on its classic frame-mounted fairing bagger, the Road Glide, but inspired by the insane ‘King of the Baggers’ racing version so comes not only with an uprated 125bhp engine but also racing carbon fibre parts, uprated brakes, suspension, wheels and more plus plenty of cosmetic parts. If you want not only the most expensive current Harley but also the fastest and best equipped, this is the one.

What we said: “The bike itself takes its inspiration from the Screamin’ Eagle Factory Team Road Glides that compete in the King of the Baggers championship.”

Pros
·       Phenomenal performance (for a Harley)

·       Impressive spec

·       Surprisingly good fun

Cons
·      Slightly odd in the UK

·      Still no sports bike

·      Niche appeal
 

9. Kawasaki Ninja H2 R – £50,000

• Engine 998cc four Power 310hp Torque 121ft/lb 
• Weight 216kg Seat height 830mm Price £50,000

As it was launched way back in 2015, people often forget that Kawasaki’s full fat, ‘R’ version of its supercharged H2 is still available in limited quantities and, indeed, is still listed on Kawasaki UK’s official website for a fairly hefty £50,000.

For that you get, of course, a 310bhp, 200mph+ beast that’s slathered in carbon fibre and exotic parts, has a whistlingly addictive soundtrack to go with its ballistic performance and yet… is not even road legal. If that’s too much of an inconvenience, you can go for the slightly less powerful and exotic Ninja H2 SX sports tourer or H2 super naked instead…

What we said: “The Ninja H2R will probably remain the most sensational motorcycle I've ever ridden.”

Pros
·       Outrageous performance

·       Unique supercharger

·       Exquisite build quality

Cons
·      Not road legal

·      Already 10 years old

·      Zero practicality

8. Norton V4 SV – £44,000

• Engine 1199cc V4 Power 185bhp Torque 91ft/lb 
• Weight 193kg Seat height 830mm Price £44,000

The revived British firm’s flagship superbike may have been fully re-engineered over the flawed V4 offering of the previous Stuart Garner era, but it’s still mouth-wateringly exotic, beautifully built, impressively equipped (rear-facing camera, big TFT dash, Ohlins and more); respectfully performing (with 185bhp) And it’s also prohibitively expensive, with prices starting at £44,000.

If that’s a little bit too much, Norton now offers the slightly cheaper (£41,999) V4CR naked café racer version, too!

What we said: “While it may look like the most perfectly polished diamond from afar, it just needs a polish to the riding experience to match that outward gleam.”

Pros
·       The ultimate British superbike…

·       … with the name to match

·       Fabulous looks and spec

Cons
·      Hasn’t the performance of cheaper rivals

·      Overhard for the road

·      Limited practicality

7. Brough Superior SS100 – £59,999

• Engine 997cc V-twin Power 100bhp Torque 66ft/lb 
• Weight 186kg Seat height 820mm Price From £59,999

Historic British brand Brough Superior was reborn in 2016, although this time built in Toulouse, France, by the former Boxer Bikes concern with an all-new bike inspired by the original’s exotic 1000cc V-twin and style. It’s truly a work of art, but that also means a hefty price tag. 

Since then, various updates and spin-off models have surfaced, with all pretty much built to order, but the base bike, the SS100, remains, at a smidge under £60k.

What we said: “In its heyday the British marque was known as the Rolls Royce of motorcycles, with famous owners including T.E. Lawrence.”

Pros
·       Exquisite reincarnation

·       Hand built quality

·       Unique experience

Cons
·      Performance nothing special

·      Actually French, not British

·      Little practicality

6. Ducati Diavel for Bentley – £58,000

• Engine 1158cc V4 Power 168bhp Torque 126nm 93ft/lb
• Weight 236kg Seat height 790mm Price £58,000 

Launched in 2023 the clumsily named Diavel for Bentley was a limited edition, ultra-high spec version of Ducati’s already wild and exotic Diavel V4 cruiser built to commemorate luxury car maker Bentley, which, like Ducati, is also owned by Volkswagen Audi.

As such it’s slathered in carbon fibre and exotic materials, painted in Bentley green and limited to just 500 numbered examples, which, reportedly, sold out within months, although the bike is still currently listed on Ducati UK’s website.

What we said: “At the time, the most expensive bike from a mainstream bike brand.”

Pros
·       Alluring provenance

·       Base Diavel already brilliant

·       Exquisitely crafted

Cons
·      Premium over base bike

·      Style won’t suit everyone

·      Not as rare as it maybe should be

5. Bimota Tesi H2 – £60,000

• Engine 998cc four Power 242bhp Torque 121ft/lb
• Weight 214kg Seat height 840mm Price £60,000

The historic, bespoke Italian brand was effectively reborn again in 2023 and, now owned by Kawasaki, it has a new flagship machine. The Tesi H2, as its name suggests, is a marriage of the old, hub-centred steered Bimota Tesi but now with ballistic, 200bhp, supercharged Kawasaki H2 power.

As an exercise in excess, it certainly delivers, as it should for the £60k price tag, and, if all that’s a little on the rich side, Bimota also now offers the £29,999 KB4 based on the 142bhp Ninja 1000 SX. A bargain, by comparison.

What we said: “Regardless of its power, the TESI H2’s gorgeous design and fighter jet-like presence makes you want to save up all your pennies and buy one.”

Pros
·       Outrageous style

·       Supercharged performance

·       Italian exotic appeal

Cons
·      Performance doesn’t match up to the spec

·      Limited availability

·      Waiting lists

4. Ducati Panigale V4 Tricolore Italia – £75,000

• Engine 997cc V-twin Power 216bhp Torque 89ft/lb 
• Weight 188kg Seat height 835mm Price £75,000

Simply, an ultra-exclusive, money-no option, track-only version of an already class-leading machine – in this case Ducati’s brilliant Panigale V4 superbike.

Launched in 2025 (alongside the similar Tricolore and Lamborghini editions, costing £48,000 and £67,000 respectively) the Italia is a collector’s edition numbered and limited to just 163 examples. It’s based on the latest Panigale V4 S, personally autographed by MotoGP star Francesco Bagnaia, has special Light Blue livery of the Italian national sports teams and comes in racing trim with Brembo racing brakes and other exclusive features.

What we said: “Unlike some of Ducati’s previous Panigale special editions, the Tricolore Italia is much more than a slap of paint and some decals, with Ducati boosting the base spec with a host of exclusive features.”

Pros
·       Incredible spec

·       Performance to match

·       Exclusivity

Cons
·      Premium over standard S

·      Very few around

·      Commemoration means little in UK

3. Aston Martin AMB-001 – £93,000

• Engine 997cc V-twin Power 180bhp Torque 118ft/lb 
• Weight 180kg Seat height 851mm Price £93,000 

A limited-edition wonder born out of a tie-up with Brough Superior, the AMB-001  debuted at the 2019 EICMA show and is a sleek and svelte - if slightly divisive - looking creation that bears many hallmarks of the British marque's four-wheel counterparts, though we will leave it to you to decide if they work as well.

With a turbocharged version of the 997cc V-twin engine pumping out 180hp it's on the warmer side of superbike, but the emphasis is on luxury and making a smooth statement, which may go some way to explaining why it costs £93,000 and is only available in limited numbers.

What we said: “It’s inspired by the Aston Martin F1 racing machines and includes ‘Photon Lime’ accents on bodywork and tail fin.”

Pros
·       Outrageous style

·       Tuned Brough Superior powertrain

·       Exquisite detailing

Cons
·      Track only

·      Not race competitive

·      What do you do with it?

2. Arch 1S – £95,000

• Engine 2032cc V-twin Power 140bhp Torque 150ft/lb
• Weight 256kg Seat height 800mm Price £95,000

If you’re looking for a custom performance cruiser that comes with an A-list endorsement, you really cannot do much better than the Arch 1S, which has Keanu Reeves’ backing and is an update on the preceding KRGT, which cost $85,000, or around £66,000.

It’s based around a proprietary S&S Cycle fuel-injected V-twin displacing a massive 2032cc, has a tubular steel frame with a CNC-machined aluminum subframe and is sprinkled with the very best of cycle parts that includes fully adjustable ARCH/Öhlins FGRT series fork and a rear shock with a reservoir and hydraulic pre-load adjustment. The fastest way from A to B? Probably not. The coolest thing on two wheels when you get to B? Almost certainly…

What we said: “The new 1s tops the range for Arch Motorcycle now, taking the reins from the uber-exclusive KRGT-1 .”

Pros
·       The ultimate cruiser?

·       Outrageous engine

·       Top spec cycle parts

Cons
·      UK availability tricky

·      Cruiser style not for everyone

·      Price difficult to justify

1. Combat Motors Wraith – £125,000

• Engine 1966cc V-twin Power 125bhp Torque 130ft.lb 

• Weight 254kg Seat height 775mm Price £125,000 

The Wraith from Combat Motors remains one of the most exclusive bikes on the planet. I mean, when you need a deposit of $100,000 to secure a machine – one that is NOT refundable should you cancel the made-to-order machines – you definitely don’t want to see another one coming down the road towards you!

With a claimed top speed of over 160mph, 145bhp on tap and 160lb ft of torque from its S&S-derived V-twin and a frame made of billet aluminium, pretty it might not be, although we’re pretty sure Combat Motors won’t struggle to sell them. Tom Cruise is among its exclusive clientele…

What we said: “Combat describes their Wraith as “the pinnacle of two-wheel artistry.” .”

Pros
·       Wildest bike of all

·       A-list connections

·       Rides better than you might expect

Cons
·      Outrageous price

·      Built to order only

·      Non-refundable deposit
