Indian firms dealing with precious metals like gold and silver seem to have developed a sudden taste for motorcycles. What else would explain the recently revealed solid gold motorcycle and now, a solid silver one.

This silver motoring piece of art is a product from Silver Emporium, a major manufacturer and exporter of silver articles. Unlike the earlier golden bike, however, this one has a working engine. Presumably, a single cylinder unit from Royal Enfield. Also, its not a one-off. So, if you have the money and would not mind cruising on a silver bike, you can order one for yourself.

Silver Emporium's silver motorcycle is not a one off and will actually meant for sale. Price of each silver bike will vary depending on the complexity of the design and customization, the amount of precious metal used and engine size. It could cost anywhere from INR 50,0000 to INR 1 Crore.

Targeted at "high-net worth individuals", Rahul Mehta, Managing Director, Silver Emporium says, "Our capability to manufacture custom-made accessories with 100% accuracy has given us an edge over other players in the competition. We are confident that we can turn around a bike for any leading brand with a six months lead time from design to actual customized delivery."

If you are in Mumbai then you can take a look for yourself at the India International Jewellery Show (IIJS), organized by the Gems & Jewellery Export Promotion Council (GJEPC) in Mumbai. The event started on August 8 and ends today.
