The ECOSSE Titanium Series brings to bear all of the cutting-edge marque’s expertise in the design of innovative, limited bikes. These special motorcycles are a combination of old-world craftsmanship and computer-controlled accuracy that effortlessly blend American muscle with exquisite lines, race-bred components and the first-ever all-titanium chassis. The result is a lightweight, carbon-fiber beauty with a supercharged billet motor producing insane amounts of torque and power. This bike is simply stunning.

Öhlins custom, fully adjustable MotoGP-grade suspension and the low, perfectly balanced chassis provide agile handling and predictable, confidence-inspiring riding dynamics. While short, precise shifts from the ultra-compact, proprietary six-speed overdrive transmission ensure a smooth ride. Braking is easy and enjoyable thanks to the billet ISR radial braking system complete with 12 individual brake pads up front for superior grip, plus adjustable lever reach and master cylinder piston leverage allowing riders to decide how much effort is required to bring it all to a stop. Along with control, comfort is key, so each of the Titanium Series bikes is equipped with adjustable ergonomics and gel-padded seating. Each motorcycle in the series will have “Titanium Series RR Limited Edition” and the serial number engraved into the handlebar clamp and VIN plate.

--First-ever all-titanium chassis

Looks like somebody subscribes to the same "bike" magazine I do... I just saw this bad boy in Maxum magazine.

"Thanks but no thanks."

 

What an ugly bike. Nothing on that bike is worth what they are asking.

 

I love bikes, but it would take a lot for me to work up the nerve to justify the Ducati 1098 R over the basic 1098, much less barely work up the nerve to by this...it doesn't even look good!

 

Might have some cool technology, but dang - that thing is fugly. For less than a third of that price I'll take a Ducati Desmosedici.

For those things being so rare (1500 total production for the globe) , I've seen several already - two showed up together at the local bike spot last Sunday. Then a few weeks before that a smaller dealer (north suburb of Chicago) had two of them on the floor with a third on the way!

They are amazing bikes up close.

 

I'll pass. Not that I know much about bikes but there are many many many sicker bikes out there that have a much deeper history for much less.

Something like this...

 

^^^ Sexy!!!

 

That thing is a work of art...

 

440 lbs and 200 hp is all I read . Price is ridiculous but wow .

 

I want to buy the limited edition Senna to this

 

You mean this one? I snapped this last year for the Ducati - sorry I don't have a better shot of the Senna. I don't know who that dude is in the background... he looks out of it tho..

 

Agreed. One of my favorite bikes out there.

 

Sad that it is so exotic but retains all the fundamentally bad issues of the Harley Davidson "hinge in the middle" frame design.

I'm pretty sure it's not that hard to get a bike to make 200 hp and weigh under 400 lbs. Maybe not a 45 degree V-Twin, but definitely a "Thinking Man's Harley" (Ducati...)
