What does a million dollars' worth of motorcycle look like? That right there, up above. Bespoke bikemaker Chicara Nagata will spend 7,500 hours--that's like, serial-killer-community-service-sentencing-time--perfecting his mechanical creations.
Whereas most motorcycle "builders" do little more than open the Fat Book parts catalog and start ordering parts they simply bolt together in a week or two, Nagata hand-crafts everything but the drivetrains. The frames, the suspension components, even the throttle assemblies and hand controls are designed and made by Nagata.
Casts a bit of light on the $1,000,000 price tag, dunnit?
Three of Nagata's bikes are currently on display at New York's Ippodo Gallery.
