While there may be faster motorcycles in production, such as the Dodge Tomahawk, this list tackles those motorbikes that are in regular production and available to purchase year-round. Here are the fastest bikes in the world that you can actually purchase and ride in In fact, it holds a Guinness World Record as the most expensive motorcycle in production.
Technically, you can own one, but you have to be really, really rich. Behold its Rolls-Royce C18 turboshaft engine with a 2-speed semi-automatic transmission, which takes the bike from mph in 2. Top speed : mph Max HP : Max torque : Check it out. A track-only version of the beloved Kawasaki Ninja H2, this bold beauty is the fastest production bike on the market.
It reached a top speed of mph in and then an unverified speed of mph four months later. Some have theorised that the bike could go up to mph with the right gearing and conditions. Meet the fastest street-legal motorcycle since , which also happens to be electric. It runs on an IPM liquid-cooled 10, rpm electric motor and goes from 0 to 60 mph in 2.
A race-modified version defeated both gasoline and electric counterparts at the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb, becoming the first vehicle of any type to win a professional road race using solar power.
Introduced in for the model year, the speedy superbike flaunted lighter engine parts than its distinguished predecessors. For lovers of speed, the R ships with a track-only Termignoni exhaust system that ups power from hp to hp, taking the top speed from to mph. When first released in , this mechanical masterpiece broke speed records for production models by previously unheard of margins. Originally created for the Superbike World Championship, this speedy stunner is now yours to own.
Touting a lightweight frame and an updated CC valve engine, the bike optimises its suspension by way of an upgraded power curve and Dynamic Damping Control. It can go from mph in just 2. Top speed : mph Max HP : As per its stellar reputation, the ZXR represents the absolute apex of design and performance. Bolstered by a CC engine and three-level traction control system, it runs smoothly at pretty much any speed and goes from mph in a mere 2. Honda first launched this instant classic in and continued to upgrade it over the subsequent production run.
With a CC liquid-cooled inline four-cylindered engine at its disposal, the bike goes from 0 to 60 mph in approximately 2. Riders with a need for speed will certainly find it here. Top speed : The Rolls-Royce Allison C20 Series gas turbine engine produces a monstrous horsepower and pound-feet of torque — a ludicrous figure for a bike. In addition to the gas turbine engine, the MTT RR has lightweight carbon fiber fairings, light inch carbon fiber wheels, and an aluminum alloy frame.
It was the first street-legal, turbine-powered motorcycle on the market. At one point, it was the most powerful motorcycle on sale. Its light body and aerodynamic design meant the Y2K Superbike glided through the air and onto a top speed of mph.
MTT gave owners a guarantee that the Y2K Superbike would hit mph, though we doubt any owners requested a refund after trying and failing to hit that figure. In addition to its insanely high top speed, the MTT Y2K held two records from Guinness World Records: the most expensive production motorcycle on sale and the most powerful production motorcycle. Without the need to meet any road restrictions, the H2R looks like an extraterrestrial spacecraft and flies down a track like one, too.
The supercharged inline-four puts out a claimed horsepower and pound-feet of torque, good enough to nip at the heels of mph flat out. The fully-adjustable suspension, MotoGP-inspired transmission, and slick Bridgestone tires also help the H2R outperform nearly every other motorcycle on a track.
The company has come a long way since its first electric bike in and now sells the Lightning LS, which is the fastest electric motorcycle on sale. The green bike has a top speed of mph thanks to a horsepower electric motor. At a top speed of It is identical to the MV Agusta F4 in many ways except the additional 7 horsepower, making it produce a staggering hp in total.
Due to its great features and efficiency on the road, this motorbike costs slightly higher than the previous models we have discussed so far.
One thing about this motorcycle is that it is the last unrestricted Hayabusa you can ride if you so wish. Its name comes from a famous Japanese peregrine falcon, making it one of the few popular motorbikes in that part of the world. From , the Hayabusa has been featuring in a number of lists concerning top speed. This is attributed to the superior features that make it a powerful motorbike on the road. One of the notable features that comes with this model is the liquid-cooled engine with a capacity of cc.
This gives it a capability of horsepower to keep you going regardless of the speed you choose. This explains why the Hayabusa model found its way into Guinness World Records as the fastest production motorcycle in the entire world in and The Hayabusa has been a perfect choice of a motorbike for drag racing, road racing, and speed competitions.
If you are worried about its cost, just know that it only comes with a reasonable price tag to make it more affordable to many riders.
Here comes another classic Italian motorcycle with great design and speed. The model comes with an original version liquid coded cc engine capacity that gives a powerful horsepower. Apart from that, this fast motorbike has a track-only Termignoni exhaust system that upgrades horsepower to about hp. That speed makes it to the top ten fastest motorbikes in the world. If you value speed on a well-designed motorcycle, then you should consider going for Kawasaki Ninja ZXR.
The latest version still boasts this distinct character and charm, though it is markedly more refined, with a more sophisticated electronics and suspension package. So, not long after Ducati unveiled its MotoGP-derived V-4 platform, rumors immediately began swirling of a naked, Streetfighter version of the new fully-faired flagship.
And, much to the delight of Ducatistas everywhere, the Bologna firm came through. And while the RSV4 is incredibly potent in its base trim, the Noale firm nonetheless offers a top-of-the-line, race-derived Factory-spec of the Italian V-4 with a host of high-end upgrades including carbon fiber bodywork and a carbon heat-shield for its Akrapovic race exhaust, and integrated carbon fiber MotoGP-style aerodynamic winglets, among many others.
And with a matte black livery completing the package, this is one modern superbike that ticks all the boxes: looks good; sounds great; and goes even greater. To skirt this issue, Ducati released a sub-1,cc race-ready version of the bike with the Panigale V4 R superbike model.
Sporting the sculpted bare-aluminum tank of previous Ducati homologation specials, this machine is one of the highest-performance motorcycles on earth, not just based on its top speed and power output, but on its ability to fire-off insanely impressive lap times.
If Damon manages to deliver on these promises, the Hypersport will be nothing short of a revolution in the electric motorcycle segment. And this year, Kawasaki decided to add to that lineup with a forced-induction version, taking the supercharged four-cylinder engine from the NINJA H2 and dropping it into a new, naked package. Ducati has managed to deliver the absolute pinnacle of superbike performance with the new Superleggera V4, taking the hp mill from the V4 R and stuffing it into a chassis made entirely from carbon fiber , before adorning it in all-carbon bodywork, and outfitting it with all-carbon wheels — all of which come together to allow for a superbike with the most impressive power-to-weight ratio ever seen.
The liberal use of carbon fiber also adds a degree of lightness that enables the Superleggera to achieve even higher speeds than the V4 R. On top of being decked out in a sleek, futuristic design, the H2 distinguished itself from the rest of the market by offering levels of performance that nobody else in the industry could come close to, with almost ft-lbs of torque and hp at the rear wheel.
Electric motorcycles are widely recognized today for their stellar performance capabilities and unrivaled amounts of torque, and Lightning is in large part to thanks for that.
Named after its top speed of just over mph, the LS is an ultra-high-performance machine, with one example previously being used to shatter the outright motorcycle record at Pikes Peak. Uninhibited by road-going restrictions, the H2R is unlike anything else on the market in terms of raw performance, generating more than hp and ft-lbs of torque.
Draped in all-carbon-fiber bodywork, the H2R sports a unique design with aerodynamic winglets that are needed to produce downforce when the bike is nearing its top speed. This one sounds as unique as it looks, too. HiConsumption is reader-supported.
