How much would you guess that the motorcycles from The Wild One, The Great Escape and Top Gun would cost today? £20,000? £40,000? Maybe even £100,000? 

 

 

Calculated using Easy Rider and Terminator 2’s sold prices as their base, Vertu Motorcycles have discovered how much 10 of the world’s most iconic movie motorbikes would fetch at auction:
