Harley-Davidson, Bundnerbike and Bucherer, a Swiss jewelry and luxury watch company, have teamed up to create the world's most expensive motorcycle, worth nearly 2 million Swiss francs.
It is somewhat unusual that a company focused on the sale of jewelry and prestigious watches decides to participate in the production unique motorcycle. At Bucherer showed enough courage and met with a motorcycle specialist Bundnerbikes embarked on a bold conversion campaign Harley-Davidson. TA definitely succeeded because the product is wonderful, Harley-Davidson Blue Edition and it is said to be the most expensive motorcycle in the world. The Blue Edition began its journey as a production motorcycle Softail Slim S, for which it was necessary 2,500 hours works and year planning and crafting to transform him into a blue beauty.
The Softail was completely 'stripped down' and put on new drawn components in a retro-vintage style. Right everyone the newly added piece of metal is made, machined, welded, ground and polished by hand. They even redesigned the frame of the motorcycle and added more to it wide rims and tires. A window in the engine reveals a rotating camshaft, and we can also see the gold-plated valves, which are illuminated by LED-shone, resistant to fever. Just a quick glance at the motorcycle will tell you that it has a lot going for it gilded components and not just gold engine parts. The seat is somehow made manually made of Swiss cowhide.
Of course, Harley got the name Blue Edition from the striking blue color. For such a color effect, it was first necessary to silver all the painted parts of the motorcycle, on which they then applied more six layers of different colors. The whole process remains secret, but the fact is that a lot of effort and time was put into the painting. The reason for such a high price of the motorcycle is hidden in the fuel tank, from which two niches have been cut on the left and right side, in which the ballistic glass the real ones abound works of art. On the left you will find the so called Dizzler, 5.40 carat a diamond ring, and on the right a unique wristwatch based on the model Bucherer Patravi TravelTec II. The watch is stored in a special case, which is resilient to engine vibrations, and at the same time it also contains a mechanism for cheering clock to show the correct time even when the motorcycle is not in use.
The final bill for the high price of the Harley Blue Edition does not close here. We can add more to the account couple smaller ones Dizzler diamond rings. They were attached to the ends of the handlebars using a special technique that prevents them from being taken off or falling off due to vibrations. The Harley-Davidson Blue Edition is a unique product that carries a price 1,888,000 Swiss francs.
