The fastest motorcycle in the world
For many car drivers, motorcyclists seem to be just a nuisance on the road. They don't consider motorcycles to be vehicles. But modern motorcycles can reach such speeds that they can leave behind any car.
At the end of the twentieth century, motorcycle manufacturers began to produce models that are gaining tremendous speed. The pace of development has reached an unprecedented pace. Among the developers of motorcycles, an unspoken struggle began to develop such a model, which could be called the fastest motorcycle.
And the manufacturers themselves soon began to realize that the power of their motorcycles reaches such values that they will no longer be able to move along the road because of their increased danger. Therefore, at the beginning of the century, representatives of all brands that are known around the world gathered at the negotiating table to discuss very important issue. Agree on the maximum speed of motorcycles.
The latest models could move at fantastic speeds, up to five hundred kilometers per hour. But something happened that had to happen. The number of accidents involving motorcycles has increased exponentially. Tenfold increase in the number dead motorcyclists exceeding the speed of their bikes.
To change this sad picture, motorcycle manufacturers settled on such a top speed mark as 299.3 kilometers per hour.
And you will not find a motorcycle in the showrooms, maximum speed which is higher than this value. Motorcycles are fast, but they have electronic speed limiters that control speed.
But there is a monster that rightfully bears the title of "the fastest motorcycle in the world." This is a Dodge Tomahawk. This miracle was presented in 2003.
Its difference from other motorcycles is not only the ability to develop a very high speed. It has a completely unique design and dimensions. In length, this monster reaches two and a half meters. It is one meter high and seventy centimeters wide.
This motorcycle has not two, but four wheels. They are doubled, both front and rear. The tires on this bike need to be replaced with winter tires. The distance between the paired wheels is a few centimeters. The motorcycle engine has a power of 500 Horse power. The speed of this miracle is 480 kilometers per hour. In two and a half seconds, it can accelerate to a hundred kilometers.
This is not a stock bike. Ten of these motorcycles were assembled by hand. Such a motorcycle costs five hundred and fifty thousand dollars.
Top 10 fastest motorcycles in the world
So, let's look at the top 10 fastest motorcycles, which are considered the most powerful and the best among similar fast motorcycles. You will see the fastest motorcycle in the photo further, and you will be the judge of which of these dozens of motorcycles is the best.
In tenth place is the Aprilia RSV4
Max Biaggi rode this bike in the 2009 WSBK championship and took first place nine times. Engine power one hundred seventy-eight horsepower. It can reach speeds of up to 281 kilometers per hour.
Yamaha YZF R1 in ninth place
This model considered one of the best. It differs from similar fast sport bikes in that it used a cruciform crankshaft design.
This technique develops a speed of up to 297 kilometers per hour. The power of its engine is one hundred and twenty-eight horsepower.
In eighth place is the Ducati 1199 Panigale R
Among fast motorcycles, this motorcycle stands out for its capabilities. First appearing in 2013 in motorcycle showrooms, he immediately appeared in the WSBK championship. The strongest teams perform on these motorcycles. The speed that is possible on this bike is 299 kilometers per hour. Engine power 195 horsepower.
In seventh place Kawasaki Ninja ZX-14
Experts in the field of motorcycle technology call this motorcycle the most powerful among sports motorcycles. It was first presented in the capital of Japan in 2005. Its maximum speed is about the same as other similar motorcycles. But already at the start, this sportbike easily overtakes all its rivals. In two and a half seconds, it can accelerate to a hundred kilometers. Engine power - 190 horsepower.
In sixth place is the Suzuki GSX-R1000
The power of this motorcycle is 191 horsepower. The maximum speed that it is capable of developing is 299 kilometers per hour. His great opportunities limited by electronic limiters. The legendary bike has been improved nine times in its entire history.
In fifth place is the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R
With an engine power of 197 horsepower, this motorcycle develops a speed of three hundred kilometers per hour. The volume of its motor is less than that of a motorcycle of the same ZX-14 series. But he is able to overtake him, as he weighs less.
In fourth place is the Suzuki Hayabusa.
The falcon is considered the fastest bird. Therefore, this motorcycle is called the peregrine falcon. No wonder the developers of the company gave him such a name. The year of its appearance is 1999. This flagship of the sports series won success almost instantly. Some motorcyclists managed to remove the limiters from the motorcycle and reached speeds of up to three hundred and sixty kilometers per hour.
In third place is the Suzuki GSX-R750
This bike is considered a veteran motorcycling. Its release took place in 1985, almost thirty years ago. Every year during all these years it is improved and modernized. In 2009, its latest modification appeared, which weighs one hundred and ninety-eight kilograms.
The maximum speed of this motorcycle reaches 306 kilometers per hour with an engine power of 150 horsepower.
In second place MTT Turbine Superbike Y2K
The speed of this monster can be developed up to 403 kilometers per hour with an engine power of 320 horsepower. The motorcycle has a gas turbine engine borrowed from the aircraft. This is the only fast motorcycle that is allowed to travel on ordinary roads. Weighs this technique 227 kilograms. The speed to which the motorcycle can accelerate is mind-blowing. This company did not sign an agreement on the speed limit for fast motorcycles, so there is no speed limiter on it. Such a motorcycle costs one hundred and fifty thousand dollars.
And finally, in the first place Suzuki GSX1300R
This is a more advanced and modernized version of the Japanese falcon. The power of its engine is 650 horsepower. Built by Bill Warner. He wanted to break the world record and did it on this bike. Bill's latest record is 448 kilometers per hour. He wanted to break this record too, but crashed in 2013.
The fastest sports bike
Possibilities modern motorcycles just amaze. The title of "Fastest production motorcycle" is rightfully given to the Suzuki Hayabusa GSX1300R motorcycle. The technical documentation of the motorcycle says that its maximum speed is 312 kilometers per hour. But professional motorcyclists were able to achieve 412 kilometers per hour on this technique.
For two years, from 1999 to 2001, the first generation of this legendary motorcycle was produced. The second generation appeared in 2008. Named after the falcon bird, the bike achieves the same high speed, like this bird, more than three hundred kilometers per hour.
The ability to achieve these high speeds led to the fact that many states refused to accept such motorcycles in their country, explaining this big risk dangers on the roads. And therefore, all motorcycles of this company have limiters that allow an increase in speed only up to three hundred kilometers per hour.
And the title of “The Fastest Sports Bike” was awarded to the Italian-made Ducati 1199 Panigale R. When it first appeared, the sports bike had some drawbacks. This model has been improved to get rid of them. These new items will be judged by the riders themselves. Significantly reduced weight of the motorcycle. Increased engine power. Even the seat upholstery has been changed. The developers claim that it helps to exacerbate the sense of the road. Riders claim that this bike is very comfortable.
Despite the fact that modern fast motorcycles have speed limiters, almost three hundred kilometers per hour can give you an amazing experience.
Traveling by car is good, but riding a motorcycle is much more interesting. Only on a bike you can feel all the charm and beauty of the surrounding landscape. A person riding a motorcycle is not in a limited space, as in a car - he completely merges with nature. In addition, few people like to drive slowly on this type of transport, because most of its owners love thrills and extreme sports.

Seeing it live will not be easy at all because only 9 copies were released.June 20th, 2015
Remember, we have considered and even considered, and today in the heading here is such a nomination
A non-serial concept has been the champion among superbikes for several years Dodge the fastest motorcycle in the world, breaking all Tomahawk power records. Tomahawk design differs from the standard dual front and rear wheels between which there is a gap of several centimeters. Each of the four wheels has independent suspension. The motorcycle needed twice the number of wheels to adequately receive torque from the super engine.

The Tomahawk motorcycle has a ten-cylinder V-twin engine from Dodge Viper volume of 8.3 liters. Motor power 500 horsepower. Acceleration of the car from zero to one hundred kilometers per hour is equal to a maximum of 2.5 seconds. Real speed, which Tomahawk can reach - 480 km / h. But if you do not take into account air resistance, theoretically the motorcycle can accelerate to 676 km / h.
About $100 million was spent on the development of the Dodge Tomahawk. In total, ten of these Tomahawks were assembled by hand, and in the Neiman Marcus catalog they were priced at $ 550,000, moreover, all 10 motorcycles were successfully sold

Story:
In 2003 at the North American international motor show Dodge in Detroit introduced a futuristic-looking motorcycle with a ten-cylinder engine with a capacity of 500 hp. With. from Dodge car viper.
The motorcycle has two front and two rear wheels, which makes it not a motorcycle, but separate view ATV. Four wheels give this marvel of modern technology amazing stability.
Each of the four wheels is equipped with its own independent suspension. When assembling the Tomahawk, titanium, aluminum, carbon, magnesium are used. All these innovations are designed to reduce the weight of the proto-bike. Basically, it's a motor on two wheels.

According to the owners this motorcycle, in operation it is very demanding on the quality of fuel and service, and a disproportionately small fuel tank greatly limits the capabilities of the motorcycle, the most inconvenient, according to the owners, is the accelerator: when driving, the motorcycle strives to slip out from under the driver, the reason for this shortcoming is a powerful engine and excessive short gear stroke, which causes discomfort when moving.
“Tomahawk is not for everyone - Tomahawk is for madmen,” some experts said after the presentations of the prototype, there is some truth in their words, falling from such a monster is really life-threatening, but serious accidents with the participation of this prototype is not registered. Tomahawk prototype exclusively hand-built. Some time after the presentation of the Tomahawk, replicas, clones, and prototypes began to appear.

Already after writing the article, I found another motorcycle, which is most likely the fastest: American Bill Warner set a new world speed record by speeding up to 502 kilometers per hour on a modified version of the Suzuki GSX1300R Hayabusa, which is considered the fastest production motorcycle in the world. For the race, which was held on the 2.4-kilometer runway of the US Air Force Base in Limestone, Maine, Wild Brothers Racing prepared an upgraded version of the motorcycle. It received a 1299 cubic centimeter engine, which is equipped with a Garrett turbocharger and runs on methanol. The engine power is 1000 horsepower (the standard Suzuki Hayabusa has 197 horsepower), and the cost of the unit is about 160 thousand dollars. In addition, the motorcycle aerodynamic kit, improved gearbox, clutch, exhaust system, rear suspension and other brakes. Suzuki has also been fitted with BST full carbon wheels, which will soon be available for serial motorcycles, with Continental tires measuring 120/70 front and 240/40 rear. The previous motorcycle speed record (448 kilometers per hour) also belonged to Warner. Before that, the record belonged to Dean Sabatinelli, who on a motorcycle managed to reach a speed of 431 kilometers per hour. I don't think that anyone in the next five years will be able to beat Warner's new achievement, even if they start training right now and focus the rest of the time only on this task. Bill approaches high-speed races like a real scientist. I just don't have the words to describe his achievement," Sabatinelli said. And here and here I am. Here is an interesting one The original article is on the website InfoGlaz.rf Link to the article from which this copy is made -
speed and motorcycle power included in world top ten, do not correspond to the idea of \u200b\u200ban ordinary person about this everyday form of transport.
