Guilty of the fact that on our pages we mainly write about four-wheeled vehicles, often forgetting to pay more attention to two-wheeled vehicles. We are in a hurry to correct ourselves today and offer you the top ten in our opinion, which every motorcycle and car lover should know about.

10) Honda CB750

A modern superbike with a wonderful four-cylinder transverse engine deserves to be in our ranking. Honda, through the production of quality and powerful motorcycles occupies a leading position in the global market for two-wheeled vehicles.

9) Ducati 916

This motorcycle can easily dominate the road and please with its beautiful style. Not many in the world can boast of such combinations of qualities. The excellent quality and design of this model has allowed the vehicle to become popular in many countries.

8) BMW with two engines

Made a lot of great bikes. But, according to many experts and specialists in motorcycle technology, the most best motorcycles ever produced by a German manufacturer are motorcycles with two engines (R-series). These vehicles have inspired many manufacturers to copy BMW motorcycles. For example, our legendary Ural was copied from a BMW.

7) Cagiva Elefant 900

This is one of the most mysterious two-wheeled vehicles presented in our ranking. But that doesn't make it worse. This motorbike was specially created for the Paris-Dakar rally. Thanks to this bike, group “B” appeared in the rally, which included not big motorcycles with light weight. Thanks to the special characteristics, 12 motorcycles of this class participated in the first race. Amazingly simple solution, .

6) Vincent Black Shadow

Most likely, the term "superbike" was created to name the CB750 motorcycle. But in fact, the first superbike is the Black Shadow. This motorcycle easily accelerated to 200 km / h, and for a long time was the fastest serial motorcycle in the world.

5) Honda RC166

This motorcycle won the 250cc class in the 1966 and 1967 World Championship series. This Honda still surprises with its performance. For many, it remains a secret how 65 hp could survive out of 250cc. and 20000 rpm.

4) Britten V1000

The V1000 was one of the greatest motorcycles ever made. It is surprising that such legendary motorcycle manufacturers as, or any other, did not make such a model. big company. Unfortunately, only 10 pieces were made in New Zealand. motorcycles that the whole world knew about.

3) Suzuki Hayabusa

Of course, to compare many motorcycles are much lighter than cars. Especially when it comes to speed. Of course, one of the leaders in speed is the Hayabusa motorbike. The history of its creation alone deserves your interest. We recommend reading about it online.

2) Harley Davidson 42WLA

This humble little motorcycle was made for the US Army. But in the end this vehicle is a special motorcycle culture on the world stage. It first developed in America, and soon the popularity of motorbikes from the USA spread to the whole world.

Recall that after the Second World War, when the military passed on motorcycles Harley Davidson they became idols for the people who saw them, and technology became a special cult. People dreamed of owning exactly the same military motorcycles. Thanks to an overabundance of offers on the market, such technical equipment was bought by many motorcycle lovers for little money. Thus, a special culture of owners of Harley Davidson motorcycles was formed.

For some, a motorcycle is an extension of their own ego, for others - their own body parts. Possession of a two-wheeler vehicle- this is a kind of realization of the dream of learning to fly. But sooner or later, most of them rot in a landfill or survive last days on breakdowns. And only a few models go down in history and become true sources of inspiration. I propose to the readers the TOP 10 bikes that, one way or another, influenced the course of events in the history of two-wheeled transport.

BROUGHSUPERIORSS80

Start of production: 1924

Country: UK

“The fastest, highest quality and obscenely expensive motorcycle of its time. For such a balance of qualities, the Briton takes the last line of our celebrity parade.”

Legendary motorcycle brand BroughSuperior was founded by a young entrepreneur by George Brough (George Brough) in 1919. She was different speed characteristics and luxury, while neither could be expected from other manufacturers. For its chic finish, build quality and high price BroughSuperior called " Rolls-Royce" among motorcycles. It cost £170 when most people earn £3 a week. For comparison, a decent house at that time was estimated at 130-180 pounds. With a 1000 cm / 3 2-cylinder engine, it produced 25 hp. At one time, this bike was unthinkably fast and with some skill it was possible to accelerate over 160 km / h.

George could not use such a huge potential of his cars without racing. Therefore, he exhibited them in almost all the most possible and impossible competitions. As a result, motorcycles BroughSuperior collected a whole collection of various victories and records on the race tracks. The company existed until the outbreak of World War II in 1939.

Over the years, about 3 thousand motorcycles were produced BroughSuperior. Today they are among the most sought after among collectors. At one of the British auctions, a motorcycle BroughSuperior 1929 issue was sold for a record $ 454 thousand.

Java 250/350

Start of production: 1970

Country: Czechoslovakia

“Affordable, simple and wildly popular. Designed for countries where there are no roads. Deserved place in the TOP.”

In the 70-80s motorcycle Java personified the Soviet man's dream of toughness and manhood. But his path to glory was thorny and long. The history of the company goes back to 1929. The first model was quite complex, expensive and not in demand. Everything changed when the plant mastered the production of a simple two-stroke single-cylinder engine with a volume of 175 cm / 3. Sales went up and the motorcycle became more popular day by day. And in 1946 new model "Me you 250" made a sensation with its smooth ride, winning gold medal at an exhibition in Paris.

Motorcycles "Java" successfully performed in sports, in particular in motocross and six-day enduro competitions. In the 60s and 70s Java With four-stroke engines were some of the best speedway motorcycles in the world. Models 250 and 350 were the last to be sold in the territory of the former USSR.

The total number of copies sold already in the 80s exceeded 3 million pieces. But the title of "people's" belongs to him not only for an impressive circulation. Also "Java"often became the hero of Soviet films. A real Czechoslovakian macho!

HONDACB750

Start of production: 1969

Country: Japan

“Set new quality standards and shook up the market. Indecently reliable and boring bike, therefore only 8th position in the ranking.”

The same year that the first man walked on the moon, the world's first superbike appears. HondaCB750. Like the famous astronaut Armstrong, "Honda"It was also ahead of its time and swept all competitors out of its way. The main advantage was the simplicity and reliability of the design, which allows you to spend minimal money on maintenance. For the first time, a motorcycle appeared so viable and reliable, which could travel 150,000 km without a problem. This completely changed the idea about two-wheeled transport. The use of mass-produced disc brakes was a revolutionary solution and wiped the nose of British competitors. After all, before that, only aircraft had disc brakes, and a four-cylinder in-line engine was installed mainly on cars. And here is some kind of Honda ...

It was a breakthrough. The motor was perfectly balanced. Earlier on higher gears I had to put up with vibration and oil leakage, but now everything has changed! Today, the number of produced copies of one of the most significant motorcycles of the 1970s has long exceeded hundreds of thousands. But later spoiled bikers are the main advantage "HondaCB 750" turned into its own disadvantage.

Smooth operation bothered sophisticated motorcyclists and they increasingly began to stare at competitors. They began to miss the English, Italian and American emotions. It was too accurate, correct, but, alas, a boring motorcycle.

MOTOGUZZIV8

Start of production: 1955

Country: Italy

“His technology was ahead of its time, becoming the antonym of reliability. For “raw” stuffing - 7th line.”

In 1955, technology appeared in Italy that shocked motorsports. It was the same as reaching for the stars with your hand. Only 500 cubes of volume Italians managed to smash into 8 cylinders and, moreover, fit it all into undercarriage motorcycle, which was a kind of combination of genius and madness. The size of the engine parts turned out to be so small that their margin of safety was at the limit. When disassembled, the motor resembled a wristwatch. Each cylinder had its own carburetor. All this was synchronized and worked, which to this day is surprising to everyone who understands the internal combustion engine.

But, alas, the result was naturally unstable. Motorcycles either showed best time on the circle, or left the race on technical reasons. As a result, the project turned out to be too expensive and after 3 years it was closed. Moto Guzzi V8 remained in history as the most exotic racing motorcycle, too ahead of its time.

Its V-shaped, eight-cylinder water-cooled engine, equipped with a DOHC gas distribution system, became, on the one hand, a true masterpiece of engineering, and on the other, a victim of the imperfection of the technologies of that time. MotoGuzziV8 was worth one million lire, equivalent to about $55,000 today.

MTTY2 K

Start of production: 2000

Country: USA

“If you ride a motorcycle and are still alive, then it was notY2 K. Dangerous and useless bike. 6th place for courage.”

American Motorcycle Company marineturbinetechnologies listed in the Guinness Book of Records as the most powerful and expensive serial motorcycle in the world. Unofficially, it is recognized as the most dangerous and controversial of the existing ones. Its meaning is driving to the fullest. Y2 K equipped with a helicopter gas-turbine engine of the company Rolls-Royce which works on diesel fuel, kerosene, gasoline, aviation fuel and even alcohol, i.e. almost everything that burns. The same ICE lifts a helicopter into the air BELL with six paratroopers on board and complete set armament, which weighs approximately 2 tons 300 kg, against 230 kg of the bike.

Now try to calculate the ratio of power to weight. Impressive? Power 320l.s. achieved at 52 thousand rpm, and the maximum speed can overcome the mark of 400 km / h. Everything would be fine, but at such a speed it is impossible to turn. The American accelerates to 350 km / h in 14 seconds. This is probably the most racing bike that is not designed for racing.

Its price is $185 thousand, and the exhaust temperature is under a thousand degrees. So be careful when approaching Y2 K behind the traffic lights. Most experts are of the opinion that this "technological masturbation". But how many emotions!

PIAGGIOVESPA

Start of production: 1947

Country: Italy

“The ancestor of the scooter-like family.” Legend. Therefore, honestly closes our 5-ku.”

If every city on the planet is given its own sound, then Rome will have the sound of a buzzing bee, the sound Vespa. PiaggoVespa It is the founder of the European scooter design school and the first successful scooter in the world. Without him, the two-wheeled world would be different. In 1947, the machine was designed from scratch without regard to traditional motorcycles. It was based on other, aviation, principles. Namely: the combination of functions and the rejection of everything superfluous. Despite its advanced age, the scooter is still produced in the retro style and looks timeless. After the war, he was a fashionable modern accessory, which was driven not only to work, but also just for fun.

Today it is perceived as no less fashionable toy with beautiful story. Vespa"was so popular that it became a household name. No one said: "I'm on a scooter." Instead they expressed: "I'm on a Vespa." Today it is the philosophy of mobility. It can be safely considered king of urban roads.

For all the time, more than 10 million of these super popular scooters have been produced. In addition, production licenses " Vespas"bought many English, German, American, Spanish and French factories. In the USSR, in 1957, a scooter was produced “Vyatka VP-150”- exact copy "Vespa". The license was not purchased.

BRITTENV1000

Start of production: 1991

Country: New Zealand.

“Assembled in a garage, while more technologically advanced than factory competitors. Alas, the production did not continue, so he does not get on our podium.”

Created not in Japan, not in Europe, not in the USA, but in the garage of a house in New Zealand in 1991. Then, in fact, on the knee, a group of enthusiasts led by designer John Britten developed and built a motorcycle from scratch, which, in terms of its technical characteristics and design solutions, was ahead of the entire motorcycle industry for many years. Let's just say that the appearance itself is completely homemade motorcycle in the early 90s, the event is unique in its quality. The power of the V-twin of its own design was about 170 hp, but the success in numerous races was hidden not in the engine, but in the revolutionary design of the entire motorcycle. When creating this bike, John tried to minimize the total number of parts, so he completely abandoned the frame. Swingarm, suspension, motorcycle front fork, etc. attachments fastened directly to the engine with carbon brackets. Most of the parts were made of carbon fiber, so the weight of the bike did not exceed 145kg.

Thus, on the racetracks, this motorcycle forced the most venerable rivals from among the leaders of the motorsport industry to swallow the dust. It was lighter and with its 170 hp. more powerful. In the first race Britten V1000 Drove much faster than factory Ducati. Was on a motorcycle on-board computer, who kept a log of 6 engine parameters - a unique option for that time. Existence Britten V1000- a kind of romantic story that even one person is able to withstand huge factories with their unlimited resources and capabilities.

However, this story has a tragic end. In 1995 engineering genius John Britten died of brain cancer and took the secrets of production with him. There are only 10 copies in the world Britten V1000.

DUCATI 916

Start of production: 1994

Country: Italy

“Unrepeatable success in motorsport and unique design. civilian versions. But the competitors learned their lesson, swore revenge and pulled themselves up. 3rd place.”

In 1994 the company Ducati produces a motorcycle that staggers the imagination of both racers and people far from motorcycling. The highest achievement of the design thought of its time. They talked about him and dreamed about him. The motorcycle that best design combined with phenomenal technical qualities and great sound. It has everything! He became a racing icon after winning the World Championships three times in a row. SUPERBIKE. Externally observed revolutionary ideas. exhaust pipe placed under the seat, which not only emphasized the uniqueness of the style, but also improved aerodynamics. But the main thing is the ICE. At that time, all Japanese competitors were running on 4 cylinders, and Ducati brought everything back to normal. Twin 2-cylinder V-engine developed for a specific task - smooth acceleration in corners.

This motorcycle has won a record number of titles in the world championships. No one has stayed on the podium for so long. There was also an improved, stylized version of it Ducati 916 Senna.

In salons dealer centers civilian versions Ducati 916 sold out like hot cakes. But the key to such success was victories on race tracks around the world. Ducati 916 and its derivatives, the 996 and 998, have won six race titles World Superbike.

HarleyDAVIDSONKNUCKLEHEAD

Start of production: 1936

A country: USA

“Without him, we would never have seen bearded men on huge motorcycles. living legend and worthy vice-championourreview.”

The progenitor of motorcycles with an extended frame and front fork, which first appeared in the United States. It is on the basis of stock HarleyDavidson in the 50s, legendary choppers began to be made. But not only for unique style "Harley" became world famous. Knucklehead was the fastest motorcycle of its time in America. Don't be him, company image "Harley Davidson"would be different. He was faster than any car, so he was exclusively loved" bad Boys”, which made this motorcycle sex- a symbol of the 30s. The symbol of freedom.

By riding such a motorcycle today, you are driving a story that becomes part of you. Bikers gave him a nickname Knucklehead(translated into Russian - "knuckle") because its valve covers look like fists with two protruding knuckles.

Motorcycles of this model are still popular and in demand, despite their age. Today they are bought because of the image of the “daredevil”.

HONDAGOLDWING

Release date: 1975

A country: Japan

The safest, most functional and comfortable modern motorcycle. A legend worthy of victory inourTOP 10."

At the dawn of the 70s, the motorcycle world became interested in “big tourism”. In 1975, the dealer network received a motorcycle that most smitten on the spot. It was a Japanese cruiser HondaGoldWingGL1000 . By 1982, he acquires the features of a modern, familiar “tourist”. And by 2008 luxury HondaGoldWing 1800 already flaunting plush seats, an audio system, powerful engine, integrated satellite navigation and cruise control. The perfect motorcycle for long distance! At the same time, its price in the US market started at $20,000, which is by no means a lot for a luxury motorcycle.

With its expressive looks, unique 6-cylinder boxer engine and modern technologies creating comfort and safety, GoldWing still holds the title of the most advanced and versatile touring motorcycle in the world. But most importantly, the company Honda began to complete the Golden Wing, the first in the world air cushion safety for serial motorcycles, which is installed between the handlebars and has a volume of 150 liters.

For its technical characteristics, comfort, safety and relatively affordable price HondaGoldWing becomes the winner of our “hot” ten.

...and for a snack a report about our own motorcycle M1NSK -

Who loves motorcycles? Most likely these are the people who cannot live without freedom and speed. Happy owners of motorcycles often refer to their transport as their best friend, calling it "iron horse". Some fans call their vehicles pet names. In any case, each of these people enjoys the sound of the motor. Competition in the motor market is constantly growing. A special leap was noticeable in 2000. Companies began to compete in the production of motorcycles with turbines. The reason is an additional bonus in speed. Literally a year later, it was decided to secure the trips of their fans, thanks to electronics. But since everyone has a different opinion, there are manufacturers whose developments are not limited to electronics. We want to introduce you to the rating of the fastest motorcycles.

Popular Honda
Another sport bike -Honda Blackbird CBR1100XX. The motorcycle was developed back in 1996, but it is still in great demand to this day. Honda developers wanted to compete more with the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-11. This iron horse will please the owner with such characteristics:

Steel horse for brutal men

1. displacement 1349 cc
2. 197 HP
3. maximum speed 327 kilometers per hour

In second place is a blood brother MTT Turbine Superbike. In fact, the bike is not much different from the one we described to you above. Why is he in second place and not third? It's all about improved performance, namely:

• power 310 kW
• max speed 402 kilometers per hour.
• the weight of one engine is 61 kg.

Most fast motorcycle in the world
This - Dodge Tomahawk. The best of the best. It is he who is seen in their most vivid dreams by motorcycle fans. More powerful bike just scary to imagine. It is incredible in all its features and characteristics.
Let us consider in detail the features of this iron horse. First of all, four wheels are striking, not two.

4. the maximum speed is 480 kilometers per hour.

This bike has been a champion for many years. And apparently, not soon there will be worthy replacement this monster. I would also like to note that each wheel is equipped with its own suspension.

Of course, all these motorcycles cost crazy money. But for most bikers, this is not a problem. After all, their bikes are the most beloved and dear in the world.
You can’t answer yourself why so many people are so crazy about these compact vehicles, because there is no voluminous trunk, small child on back seat Can't you buckle up and so on? We will try to explain to you at the end of our rating. What are the advantages of bikes?

1. Compactness. The motorcycle is more agile low speeds, You can perfectly pass even on the narrowest path, where the car needs to go around.
2. Seasons. In summer, a motorcycle is not only extreme, speed, but also increased comfort. You feel a connection with nature, you are not hot.
3. Traffic jams. The eternal problem of motorists. Late for work because of traffic, late for the most important meeting for the same reason. There's nothing you can do. Some drivers even have to leave their car to get on the subway. On a motorcycle you will have time always and everywhere.
4. For some bike lovers, this is a kind of romance. A girl in a helmet who hugs a biker... Eternal romance and idyll even in cinema.
5. On one parking space for a car, you can easily put 3 or 4 bikes.
6. A kind of economy, because the motorcycle eats much less fuel.
7. If you have some knowledge of mechanics, then it will be much easier to repair or upgrade a motorcycle. The bike does not require too much time. The reason for this is that most of the details are outside.
8. Smell. Again, nature and romance. You do not enjoy the smell of a "herringbone" that hangs or cologne, but natural smells.
9. As practice shows, the motorcycle has a positive effect on the coordination of human movements. Bikers have a well-developed sense of balance.
10. And of course, a motorcycle is much cheaper than a car.

Of course, there are also disadvantages here. Again, no trunk. You will not be able to go to the sea with the whole family. Many people believe that bikes are very life-threatening. This is true. But in fact, bikers are very neat people who understand that they can not only crush a biker, but risk their own lives.

In fact, we have considered the issue in such detail for those people who are not fans of iron horses. Real bikers will never compare a car to a motorcycle. For them, this comparison is simply incomprehensible and inappropriate.

Remembering once again the most expensive specimens in the world, we would draw such a conclusion. It doesn't make sense to pay exorbitant amounts of money for a brand or crazy speed. Safety is paramount. A calm and measured ride can not only deliver a person to right time and in Right place but completely secure. Nothing to ride on top speed. The exception is professional races, where those people who have studied this activity for many years and constantly trained show their skills.
