Valued at 1.8 million Swiss Francs (approximately 2.4 million SGD), the Harley-Davidson blue edition is based on the Harley-Davidson Softail Slim S - and then given a complete makeover.

This iridescent blue bike is handmade in Maienfeld and took over 2,500 hours to complete with a team of 8 from both companies. That’s about 104 days! And even before the project was started on, specialists from Bündnerbike took about a year to design and produce this special Harley-Davidson Blue Edition.

 

The opulent motorcycle itself features a rotating camshaft visible through a window in the camshaft housing, along with the valve control and gold-plated throttle valves. The frame of the vehicle is seamlessly welded and the rims are custom made, with heat-resistant LED lights implemented for a modern touch. More notable, this is also the first motorcycle in the world to have a motor that is lit up from the inside.

 

The lavishness does not stop there.

 

Various parts of the motorcycle are also gold-plated to enhance the luxurious flair, and a secret coating method was applied to give this bike its intense blue hue.

This special motorcycle also incorporates 360 diamonds and two safes integrated into the tank containing a one-of-a-kind watch.

The diamonds - the Dizzler rotating ring from the Bucherer Fine Jewelry collection - are mounted on the hand grips, forks and left half of the tank. A six-prong Heaven solitaire ring with a 5.40-carat diamond can also be found in the retractable safe underneath a dome made from armoured glass.

 

The watch is from Carl F. Bucherer and is a special custom-made watch based on the Patravi TravelTec II model. The dial of this piece of work is adorned by elements of a motorcycle engine and is located in a second safe in the right half of the tank.

No wonder the Harley-Davidson Blue Edition is the most expensive motorcycle in the world.
