You may not be able to go in and whip a bar full of bikers, but ride up on this and know that your bike can kick their bikes’ asses. The Ecosse Heretic Ti ($140,000; Pre-Order) is an absolute beast of a bike, with a titanium chassis, 120ci, 135hp engine, carbon fiber body work, carbon fiber wheels, Ohlins Suberbike Gas forks, and a six-speed overdrive transmission. Sure, you could feed a few small third-world countries for years with that much money, but that won’t do you any good when you’re running from an angry mob of bikers looking to kick your a*** for spending that much money on a bike that has no sense of style. Function, maybe but who wants to ride around on a bike that looks like it was put together with missing pieces of other bikes, dishwashers (or cars for that matter?).
