0:02 Now, motorcycling can be good, cheap,
0:04 fun, but equally, if you do want to
0:06 spend a lot of money, then you can very
0:08 much do that, too. So, in this video,
0:10 we'll go through the most expensive bike
0:12 in each of the major motorcycle
0:14 manufacturers lineups for 2026. And of
0:16 course, for this one, we're going in
0:18 price order, Ascending. So, kicking
0:20 things off, we've got the very budget
0:23 friendly Chinese brand CF Moto with two
0:26 bikes coming in at just under 7 grand.
0:29 One is their 675 inline triple powered
0:31 sports bike and the other the parallel
0:35 twin powered 800 NTX adventure bike. Now
0:37 both have been reviewed pretty well and
0:39 so they could be a great alternative to
0:41 the established European and Japanese
0:44 brands especially if you're on a strict
0:46 budget but also not really getting out
0:48 the blocks on this one. We've got Royal
0:50 Enfield with their most expensive bike
0:53 for this year being the Super Meteor 650
0:56 at under 7 1/2 grand. To be fair though,
0:58 value for money is pretty much their
1:00 whole thing, and so this would probably
1:03 be a point of pride for them. The whole
1:05 650 Twin lineup contains some of the
1:08 most authentic aircooled retros on the
1:10 market, just in a few different flavors
1:12 reflected in their styling and chassis,
1:14 but this Super Mechure is the most
1:17 glitzy cruiser style bike of the bunch
1:19 with extra chrome and some luscious
1:21 paint options. And so that's why you'll
1:23 pay the most out of the bunch for it.
1:25 Next up though, we've got Husvana with
1:27 pretty much double the price of the
1:30 Enfield at 14 12 grand with this Nordon
1:33 901 Expedition that takes the standard
1:35 adventure bike and then jacks it up for
1:38 some extra off-road capability. On top
1:39 of that, you've got a taller windscreen
1:41 as well and some soft luggage, so it
1:43 helps with a little bit of distance
1:45 work. And genuinely, this is one of my
1:47 favorite adventure bikes on the market,
1:49 combining great performance onroad and
1:52 off with Husvana's signature clean
1:54 design language, which I think looks the
1:57 absolute business. I think it's fair to
1:58 say though that the brands with the
2:00 smaller lineups tend to have a lower
2:02 ceiling when it comes to price. And so
2:05 that's also true of the Italian brand
2:07 Moto Gutsy. The priciest bike on their
2:10 website for 2026 is the Stelvio
2:12 adventure bike, specifically in this
2:15 Duento Tributo edition, which was built
2:17 to celebrate 200 years since the opening
2:20 of the famed Stelvio Pass from which of
2:22 course the bike gets its name.
2:23 Underneath the fancy finish though,
2:25 you've got a fantastic machine with
2:28 their relatively recent liquid cooled V
2:30 twin, the practicality of a shaft drive
2:33 as well, a nice open riding position,
2:36 and also a decent suite of tech. Suzuki.
2:37 And next on the list though at 12 with
2:41 none other than the iconic Hayabusa.
2:43 This thing is still an absolute weapon
2:46 in a straight line with bags of shove
2:49 from its 1.3 L inline 4 and also a long
2:52 low substantial chassis that makes it
2:54 easy to eat up the miles at speed. The
2:56 most expensive variant is this special
2:59 edition for 2026 in their pearl vigor
3:01 blue paint with the white accents.
3:07 I'm not exactly sure what makes it a
3:10 special edition though, but it is a
3:12 special bike anyway and it does get a
3:14 little badge on the tank. Personally, I
3:17 associate A Prillia with their Italiano
3:20 exotic looking sports bikes and so you
3:22 perhaps expect them to be a bit further
3:24 up this list, but to be fair, their top
3:27 level bikes still offer relatively good
3:30 value for money. The RSV4 sports bike
3:32 starts at £18,895
3:35 for example, or you can pay another5
3:37 grand on top for this, the factory
3:40 version. So, in addition to the 220
3:42 horsepower V4 engine, and also those
3:44 stunning looks where you get semi-active
3:47 electronic suspension, lightweight
3:49 forged wheels, and a more comprehensive
3:51 suite of electronics, including some
3:53 track specific settings. Perhaps another
3:55 brand though that you'd expect to be a
3:57 little higher up this list with a big
3:58 lineup of bikes and also a bit of a
4:01 ponchon for limited editions. Well, at
4:04 number 10, we've got Triumph. To be fair
4:06 though, their specials are rarely
4:08 astronomical in price and so the most
4:09 you can currently spend on one of their
4:13 bikes in 2026 is the Rocket 3 Storm GT
4:16 at 24,595.
4:18 Personally, I can't think of many better
4:20 ways to spend the best part of 25
4:22 [music] grand with the largest capacity
4:24 production motorcycle engine on the
4:27 market at 2 1/2 L and also more torque
4:30 than any other production bike with 225
4:34 Newton m at just 4,000 RPM. It looks
4:36 phenomenal. It handles surprisingly well
4:39 for its size, too. And so, for me, it
4:41 never fails to leave a grin pretty much
4:43 every time you ride it. At nine, though,
4:46 we've got Yamaha. And although that R1
4:48 sports bike has been discontinued in
4:50 Europe owing to increasingly strict
4:52 emissions regulations, well, you can
4:53 still buy one, but it's just
4:56 specifically for use on the track. This
4:58 version though at 27,500
5:02 is the GYTR edition, which gets a smorus
5:04 board of upgrades courtesy of their
5:06 racing program. We're talking track
5:08 ready bodywork, higher spec suspension,
5:11 a programmable ECU, and a Cropovich
5:14 exhaust system, and plenty of GYTR
5:16 goodies like the racing handlebars and
5:19 racing rear sets. Another 5 and a bit
5:21 grand though will get you BMW's world
5:23 superbike homologation special, the M000RR.
5:25 M000RR.
5:27 This thing is a beauty, looking
5:29 spectacular in their typical blue,
5:32 white, and red M Sport colors. Although
5:34 another £7,690
5:36 will get you the M competition package
5:39 with more carbon fiber and billet
5:41 hardware for a meaner, stealthier take
5:43 on the same sort of theme. If you're on
5:45 a budget though, well, this bike is
5:47 heavily based upon their more affordable
5:50 S000RR, which starts at 18 grand, so
5:52 pretty much half the price. But you
5:54 won't get the topsp spec engine, the
5:56 maximum downforce arrow package, nor the
5:58 adjustable swing arm pivot, and topsp
6:01 spec M brakes. At pretty much the polar
6:02 opposite end of the riding style
6:04 spectrum, though, Honda's most expensive
6:08 bike for 2026 is their brilliant Gold
6:10 Wing Tourer. In fact, this is one of my
6:12 favorite touring motorcycles on the
6:15 market with their super sweet 1.8 L flat
6:17 6 engine, which is pretty much the
6:20 benchmark in terms of silky smooth
6:22 cruising. And it also has a distinctive
6:25 and very pleasant sound at the exhaust.
6:27 Now, the more affordable version of this
6:29 would be just the bagger with the side
6:32 cases, but this top-of-the-line Tour
6:34 gets the top case as well, which is also
6:36 an exceptionally comfortable back rest
6:39 if you do carry a passenger. Indians
6:41 Pursuit Elite has a similar intended
6:43 purpose of eating up the miles in utter
6:45 comfort, but it's got to be said it does
6:48 it with a much more American aesthetic.
6:50 The engine is a lot more suited to that
6:53 image as well with a 1.8 L V twin. And
6:55 while it does deliver oodles of torque,
6:57 well, it is their liquid cooled power
6:59 plus variant, which does feel relatively
7:02 modern and also makes it happier revving
7:05 up than their big aircooled V twins.
7:07 Would I choose this though over the Gold
7:09 Wing? Well, I think it probably looks a
7:11 little more luxurious in the finish, but
7:16 at a massive 428 kg curb, it's a good 30
7:19 or 40 kilos heavier. So, I think I'd
7:21 take the Indian to polish on the drive
7:23 and the Gold Wing if I had to do a
7:27 U-turn. KTM's 1390 Superjuke R Evo is
7:30 already an imposing machine with super
7:32 aggressive looks to match a brutal
7:34 riding experience, but then they've also
7:36 enlisted German cartooners Brabbus to
7:38 put their stamp on it. And I think the
7:40 result is the closest thing currently on
7:43 the market to a bat bike. the sculpted
7:45 carbon bodywork in all black, plus the
7:48 sharplooking new headlight combined for
7:50 a motorcycle the caped Crusader himself
7:52 could be proud of. And they've also put
7:54 their own distinctive stamp on it with
7:56 the monoblock wheels which are a nod
7:58 back to their car rims of past models.
8:01 At 44 grand though, it's over double the
8:04 KTM version and I'm not quite sure it
8:06 looks more than twice as good. In at
8:08 four though, we've got Harley-Davidson
8:11 with their CVO Street Glide at 45,000,
8:13 which takes their regular Street Glide
8:16 and then soups it up with their 121
8:19 cubic inch V twin, an upside down fork
8:21 and Brembo brakes, and all their latest
8:23 electronics, including lean sensitive
8:26 rider rates. It's finished off with a
8:28 sort of sporty looking paint job in
8:30 orange, gray, and black. And so, while
8:32 it's honestly way too much money for a
8:34 bike and also not exactly an exercising
8:37 subtlety, well, I do also quite like it
8:40 and wouldn't mind a go on one at all. I
8:42 think though some bikes can kind of
8:44 leave you wondering why they're so
8:46 expensive, especially when they're
8:47 limited editions and you're paying a lot
8:50 for the intangible exclusivity, but I
8:53 will say others make it very, very clear
8:55 as to why they're a lot of money. And I
8:58 think the H2R from Kawasaki is
9:01 absolutely one of those. At 52 grand,
9:04 it's unaffordable to 99.9% of bikers.
9:07 But to be fair, it's probably unridable
9:09 to most of us, too. With a supercharged
9:12 inline 4 that makes a brainmelting 320
9:15 horsepower peak. It also weighs in at
9:19 just 216 kg fully fueled up. And so, I
9:20 think it's fair to say that this one is
9:23 going to be rather quick. Unfortunately
9:25 though, this is not one for the road.
9:27 It's a track only bike, but with those
9:29 sorts of specs, I think that could have
9:32 been a wise move from Kawasaki. Still,
9:34 not to be outdone, there are two Italian
9:36 brands who really know how to push the
9:38 boundaries of motorcycle pricing. And
9:41 one would of course be Envy Augusta with
9:44 their spectacular Super Veoce 1000
9:46 coming in at £61,400
9:49 for this Seri Oro version. For me, this
9:51 is one of the most beautiful motorcycles
9:53 that's been made in the past 10 years or
9:56 so. And to be fair, the specs match the
9:59 looks with over 200 horsepower peak and
10:00 the best of the best in terms of
10:02 components and tech. Topping the list
10:05 though, it's none other than Jucati with
10:08 the Moto GP World Championship Edition
10:11 of the Panagali V4 built to celebrate
10:14 Mark Marquez's success in the 2025
10:16 season. side by side with his race bike.
10:18 It does do a pretty good impression and
10:21 you'll also get his authentic signature
10:23 on the tank as well as some nice
10:25 upgrades to the spec like the carbon
10:27 wheels, the Brembo Pro brakes, and the
10:29 Acropovich homologated silencer. A
10:31 proper rocket ship then that you can
10:33 actually ride on the road. Although 80
10:36 grand is a pretty steep fee to pay for
10:38 the privilege. Anyway, as always, let me
10:40 know your pick of the bunch down in the
10:42 comments below. And for me, I'd probably
10:45 take the RSV4 factory for ripping, the
10:47 Rocket 3 for a bit of cruising, and a
10:49 Dento Stelvio for a little bit of
10:52 adventure riding. All for less combined
10:54 than the total fee for that Ducatti. Do
