The journey on a Lauge Jensen bespoke motorcycle always starts before the first ride – and it never ends. It could even be said that a Lauge Jensen is the physical manifestation of a dream as this superb example covered in hand finished 24-carat gold leaf shows. It features 859 individually gold plated parts assembled by hand and more than 260 gems with a total of over eight carat diamonds mounted in solid gold. The seat is upholstered with cognac coloured crocodile skin.
The engine is a 1792cc V-Twin air-cooled unit and almost the entire engine from the camshafts to valves and pistons are specially made for Lauge Jensen. Power is rated at 70 horsepower at 4,300 rpm and the bike has a top speed of 112 mph delivered through a six-speed transmission. Double disc brakes with eight pistons in the front and four in the back provide the stopping power. Totally hand built, every detail is perfectly finished, with unique touches on every motorbike revealing the story of the person whose dreams helped design it.
