Icon Motorcycle will launch the Icon Sheene Superbike at the Goodwood Festival of Speed on July 3, 2010. The bike has been designed and built by Andrew Morris as a tribute to legendary bike racer Barry Sheene.
The Icon Sheene Superbike is hand built and custom fitted to the customer. The bike is powered by a 1.4-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine and features a custom aluminum frame, hand-beaten aluminum fuel tank and a carbon fiber panel body. With a price tag of $160,000, the Icon Sheene Superbike's production will be limited only to 52 units.
What Makes This Trend Stand Out
- Luxury Custom Motorcycles
- There is a growing demand for luxury custom motorcycles and this presents an opportunity for businesses to offer exclusive, personalized bikes for high-end consumers.
- Homage Bikes
- Tribute motorcycles honor legendary figures and brands can create limited edition bikes that pay homage to iconic racers and cultural figures.
- Performance E-bikes
- There is an opportunity for businesses to create high-performance electric bikes that offer the same speed and power as traditional motorbikes but with lower emissions.
Sectors Adopting This
- Motorcycle Manufacturing
- Motorcycle manufacturing companies can capitalize on the demand for luxury, specialized motorcycles by creating custom, limited edition bikes.
- Luxury Goods
- Luxury goods companies can enter or expand their offering in the motorcycle industry by creating high-end, specialized bikes for affluent consumers.
- Electric Vehicle Manufacturing
- Electric vehicle manufacturers can create high-performance electric bikes that offer an alternative to gas-powered motorcycles while maintaining the same level of power and speed.
