How about €124,900 ($164,550) for the starting price of a motorcycle... a bit steep, isn't it? Well, this is clearly serious money, but they can get you an even more serious bike: a Hardcore Cycles Benchmark, by German custom builder Marcus Walz.
The basic model can be of course, upgraded to suit individual preferences as exclusive and even more expensive as they might be. The Benchmark is literally loaded with top-notch racing-specced components, making sure the bike not only looks well, but also delivers a matching performance.

If the standard S&S 96ci engine seems not enough, you can choose bigger power units, such as the 124ci beast in the pictured bike (€149,000 or $198,030).

While the pictured Benchmark looks massive and huge, it actually weighs dramatically less than a Rampage or Avalanche, having shaved 40 kg (88 lbs) off. Thanks to the carbon wheels, titanium exhaust, brake discs made of a carbon-fiber ceramic composite, titanium brake pistons and full-carbon engine kit, the pictured Walz Benchmark can offer even more thrill.

While the base Benchmark comes with a black anodized Marzocchi fork, customers can ask for special ones, such as the pictured golden Ohlins MotoGP one. A wide variety of top-drawer parts are available from the very best in the business: Ohlins, Akrapovic, Brembo BST Blackstone, LSL, S & S, Marzocchi and more, and how far will you go is up to you and your checkbook.
