Harry splashes out on superbike

Back

Prince Harry has added a new toy to his collection of motorbikes by becoming the proud new owner of a Ducati 848.

The Afghanistan veteran already owns a number of trial bikes and an £8,000 Triumph. The newest addition to his collection is a £11,500 bespoke superbike which is able to hit a top speed of 170mph, clearly demonstrating his passion for motorbikes.

Harry, along with his brother William, are both bike enthusiasts, and the Royal Princes recently took part in a 1,000 mile charity motorbike trek in South Africa.

A friend of Prince Harry told the Daily Mail: "Harry loves his motorbikes and has absolutely no fear - which may, or may not, be a good thing.

"Both William and Harry enjoy the anonymity that putting on their leathers and taking to the road. No-one knows who they are and in the biking world people just treat them as one of the lads, which they love."
