First Look at Blue Edition, the World's Most Expensive Motorcycle

Swiss luxury watch and jewelry designer Bucherer has partnered with motorcycle maker Bünderbike to create the most expensive bike in the world. Valued at $1.79 million, the one-off bike is based on a Harley Davidson Softail Slim S. But Bünderbike has completely transformed the motorcycle into a hardtail chopper with a springer front end. The bike is a sumptuous blue, though it was first silver-plated before six color coats were added, using a secret application method, reports Luxury Launches.

The bike is embellished with 360 diamonds, and also has gold-plated screws integrated into the tank, which contains a one-of-a-kind Bucherer timepiece. The timepiece itself features elements of a motorcycle engine on its dial. The tank also has a large Dizzler diamond ring from the Bucherer Fine Jewelry collection, and a six-prong Heaven solitaire ring with a 5.40-carat diamond.

The special Harley-Davidson Blue Edition bike took a year to design. A team of eight people put more than 2,500 hours into completing the project.
