Having the fastest motorcycle in the world is not a hobby for the poor. Usually billionaires and multimillionaires boast of such things, because when we say the fastest motorcycle, we mean the most expensive motorcycle at the same time. The level of adrenaline when driving a two-wheeled bike at a speed of more than 250 km / h just rolls over. We offer you a rating of the TOP-10 "the fastest motorcycle in the world." Consider the speed characteristics of bikes and the power of their engines. The fastest motorcycles in the world, presented in the top ten ranking, are arranged as their maximum speed increases.
TOP 10 fastest motorcycles:
Let's open our list with the representative of Japan. Kawasaki Ninja ZX-11 has a top speed of 272 km/h.

The construction of this motorcycle uses titanium, carbon, aluminum and magnesium. Curb weight "Tomahawk" - 680 kg. According to the engineers of the manufacturer, 468 km / h is not the limit. According to experts, he can develop the exorbitant 613 km / h!
Motorcycle DODGE TOMAHAWK
Hello.
In continuation of the article about, consider the fastest production motorcycles.
Most modern sport bikes already accelerate to speeds under 300 km per hour, their capabilities are deliberately underestimated for the sake of safety by electronics and not only, therefore, in order to accelerate on such motorcycles to speeds over 300 km per hour, no complex tricks. No turbines or compressors are needed. After a simple procedure called “blowing up”, almost any liter sport bike will be able to exceed this speed. But we are interested in the fastest motorcycles, which are initially set to speeds close to the coveted 300 km per hour. For such motorcycles, even the not-new term was invented for a long time: “Hyperbike”. Our conditions will be as follows: the motorcycle must be fast, mass-produced (in fact, be available for purchase) and give out the declared speed on a real road, and not in the theoretical calculations of engineers.
1. Suzuki Hayabusa.
— Advise on what to buy the first motorcycle?
- Busu take it!
(Already almost a folk saying)
Let us put Busa at the head of the review, since this legendary motorcycle definitely worth it. Immediately after the start of production in 1999, the Suzuki GSX1300R Hayabusa received the status of the fastest motorcycle in the world and the fastest production motorcycle of the 20th century.
The first generation of these motorcycles, or rather, the motorcycles of the very first year of production, did not have any limiters, which made it possible, having bought this motorcycle from the factory, without any tuning and airing, to reach a speed of 312 km / h. From the next year, the year 2000, there was a ban on the import of these motorcycles to Europe. Therefore, from 2000 to the present, the plant deliberately limits the maximum speed to 299 km per hour.
In addition to being the fastest mass-produced motorcycle, Suzuki Hayabusa is very popular among customizers, and in certain circles in the United States even a separate style has appeared, which involves boiling and lengthening the rear swingarm and installing the widest “rollers” instead of stock rear wheels.
Why was this motorcycle, obviously redundant in its characteristics, conceived? Road police Oklahoma will give the answer! In 2006, she bought a batch of the world's fastest motorcycles and equipped them with interceptors!
"Hayabusa" means "peregrine falcon" in Japanese. This bird of prey from the falcon family tends to hunt thrushes. And next on our list is Drozd, the Honda CBR1100XX Super Blackbird.
2. Honda CBR1100XX Super Blackbird.
Far more common and affordable is the Superthrush, or more commonly just the Thrush, another of the fastest motorcycles in the world, but one that has been discontinued.
Honda CBR1100XX Super Blackbird is a motorcycle built concern Honda in order to overshadow the glory of the fastest at that time Kawasaki motorcycle ZX-11 (or ZZ-R1100). Drozd was produced from 1996 to 2007, the maximum speed of this motorcycle is 290 km per hour.
3. Kawasaki ZZ-R1400.
Motorcycles of the Kawasaki concern several times took the lead in the production of the fastest production motorcycles, the speed of which was very close to 300 km per hour. Previous generations have held their own against the Suzuki Hayabusa and Honda BlackBird, but it was the Kawasaki ZX-14R that made it to Busa, as both of these bikes have electronic speed limiters up to 299 km/h.
Kawasaki ZX-14R has been produced, with changes, since 2006 to this day. However, sooner or later, he will give up his place as a worthy rival to Busa in the competition of the fastest motorcycles in the world. And he will give way to it, no doubt ... New Kawasaki H2R!
4. Kawasaki H2R.
This is a turbocharged stock bike. All. You don't need to know anything more about him.
The bike was announced in 2015 and has already competed in the Isle of Man TT, where it has shown speeds of "over 332 km/h". Civil version The motorcycle, of course, has limiters, but the very fact of using a turbine suggests that this motorcycle is not only the fastest, but also the most powerful of the production ones to date.
5. BMW S1000 RR.
From the outside, a gloomy German genius slyly looks at all these competitions of the Japanese. BMW motorcycles you can love, you can not love, but to deny them genius, although sometimes bordering on the ambiguity of designs, will not work. One of the fastest motorcycles in the world is produced precisely concern BMW, and this is the BMW S1000RR and its subsequent modifications, such as the BMW HP4.
This motorcycle is not to be confused with competitors - it is European. Very fast liter European. Journalists from the British magazine Motorcyclenews were able to disperse production version this motorcycle to 317 km / h by simple manipulations: they threw out the mirrors, slightly shifted the rider back and replaced the driven star.
6. Ducati 1299 Panigale.
Another European, without which our review would not be complete. Italian motorcycle Ducati Panigale 1299, announced at an exhibition in Milan in 2014.
Many characteristic features of the Dukas, including the invariable valvular desmodrome. And the appearance for which you can buy it without even delving into technical subtleties and maximum speed. But there is speed, and this cannot be taken away. The Ducati Panigale 1299 is one of the fastest motorcycles to date.
7. Yamaha YZF-R1.
Yamaha hasn't released anything that mind-blowing. Yamaha just makes great, fast, affordable superbikes, without the "world's fastest" prefix. And I just don’t want to complete this review without this brand of motorcycles. Other than that, the Yamaha YZF-R1 fits right in with our review, going 300 km/h, and in 2015 it even became the fastest quarter mile bike in the world.
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. That is why it's time to talk about the best and fastest motorcycles in the world in 2018.
10 Ducati 1098S

The bike is equipped with a unique 1 liter engine. volume, liquid cooling system, 16 original valves and Brembo brakes. The top speed is 184 mph thanks to the enormous power of 174 hp. The gearbox has 6 steps. Motorcycle MV Agusta F4 1000R has a nice sporty design and looks pretty nice. Keep in mind that this model was released in a limited edition.
6 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-14R
This beast is able to reach 100 km / h in just 2.7 seconds, and the top speed is as much as 186 mph. The engine capacity of this superbike is 1.44 liters, has 4 valves, and is gaining 10500 rpm. Capable of generating 108 kW of power and has unique system liquid cooling. The gearbox has 6 steps. Kawasaki has to be credited, as their Ninja bikes have proudly held the top spot in the world's fastest bikes rankings for over 10 years.
5 Yamaha YZF R1
Superbike YZF R1 from Yamaha has really impressive performance. The first powerful beast of this series appeared back in 1998, and more recently, the 50th series has already appeared. This model is equipped with a powerful engine of 180 hp, 0.998 liters of volume, 4 cylinders, 20 valves, liquid cooling system and 12500 rpm. Top speed reaches 186 mph, which is really amazing.

4 Honda CBR1100XX Blackbird
Honda was able to develop a very fast bike, which in 1997 was able to push the Kawasaki ZX-11 into the background. The championship of the CBR1100XX was achieved thanks to unique characteristics. The engine capacity of this model is 1.1137 liters. with., with a capacity of 153 hp. The maximum speed exceeds 190 mph. Among other things, it was possible to make riding a motorcycle as smooth as possible thanks to a double balanced shaft. The design of the model has nothing superfluous - strict, sporty.
3 MTT Turbine Superbike Y2K
This model has managed to surpass all those that are located above. The developers managed to achieve crazy characteristics that almost no one could boast of. It is worth noting that the Turbine Superbike Y2K immediately got into the Guinness Book of Records, marked as the most powerful serial motorcycle. Not surprising, because it has a turboshaft engine that works on a completely different principle. The bottom line is to extract power from a heat pipe using thermal energy. The bike, as it were, is repelled from the air with crazy force. In addition, it has a unique engine with 320 hp. and a maximum mark of 52,000 rpm. It is called Rolls-Royce 250-C18. The speed of the motorcycle can reach 227 mph. Appearance The MTT Turbine Superbike Y2K is quite impressive and speaks for itself.
2 Suzuki Hayabusa
It seems that all records are broken, but in our wonderful world there are many surprises. One of them is the Hayabusa motorbike, which radically changed the maximum speed mark. Hayabusa means "saved" in Japanese. In addition, rescued is a bird that moves at a speed of 328 km / h. The eponymous bike from Suzuki can "fly" faster than this bird, namely at a speed of 397 km / h (248 mph). It is equipped with a unique 1.397 hp engine. volume, 4 cylinders, 197 hp and 6750 rpm. In 2.5 seconds, it easily accelerates to 60 mph.
1 Dodge Tomahawk
So we come to the most important "monster" of the rating, which easily outdid all the above models. Dodge Company managed to make the Tomahawk a real breakthrough in the world of motorcycles. Its top speed is as much as 350 mph. Acceleration in 1.5 seconds to 60 mph. It has a unique 500 hp engine. - Viper V-10. It is not entirely clear whether it can be compared with the rest of the models in the rating because it has a completely different design and, in addition, 4 wheels. It looks like a killer monster or a car from hell, but not a motorcycle. Made it by 2003 and showed the world in North America at the exhibition. Seeing it live will not be easy at all because only 9 copies were released.At the end of the last century, representatives of the motorcycle industry seemed to compete with each other, creating faster and powerful motorcycles. Each manufacturer tried to outdo the other, releasing motor vehicles with more high speed than a competitor. But just a dozen years later, a general decision was made to limit motorcycles in speed. The maximum value should not have been higher than 299 km/h. This was due to the increased number of accidents, including fatalities, caused by the owner's desire to show everything that his iron horse is capable of.
Champion place among choppers already for a long time holds Mad Ron Laycock, designed by a motorcycle fan from Australia. Its power - drum roll - 3800 horses!
Think it's impossible? Perhaps if you put an aviation jet engine Rolls-Royce Viper MK. The chopper is based on Yamaha's FJ 1200 series. The bike was designed for 402m rides. Sadly, its speed figures are unknown, although we assure you, they are capable of hitting. Without a doubt, this iron horse cannot be ridden, but it can be safely called the most powerful motorcycle.
The Tomahawk differs from its sister cities in its non-standard design. It has dual wheels, which are separated from each other only by a small gap. Each wheel has its own independent suspension. Dual wheels are needed by the Tomogawk to adequately receive torque from the supermotor.
The Tomahawk has an over eight-liter engine from a Dodge Viper with ten cylinders. A supermotor of 500 horses allows you to accelerate to hundreds of km / h in a few moments. In principle, if we remove the physical factors, it is possible to accelerate the chopper to 676 km / h, in reality, its top speed is close to 500 km / h.
Chopper MTT Street fighter left not far from gold. Despite the similarity in design with the next model in the list, its specifications more powerful: an engine of 420 horses helps it accelerate to 402 km / h.
Becoming the owner of this superbike, which costs about 200 thousand dollars, means being lucky. After all, five MTT Turbine Superbike choppers leave the assembly line every year. Powerful gas turbine engine at 320 Horse power from Rolls Royce-Allison is not the only advantage of the bike. Lovers are very happy two-stage box gear and availability rear camera with color LCD screen. By the way, the weight at the same time barely reaches 230 kilograms. The speed of this chopper is not frail - 364 km / h.
The Suzuki GSX-1300R Hayabusa also stands out, not only legendary, but also the fastest among the “conveyor” brothers. The Falcon (this is the name of the bike) went on sale at the end of the last century, and during this period there were several generational changes.
Now the Falcon has a one and a half liter engine with 4 cylinders, its power is 193 horses, and the torque is simply amazing for a two-wheeled unit. It is this, as well as low weight and excellent aerodynamics, that has served to ensure that the bike can pick up speed up to 300 km/h.
This popular motorcycle was given to the world by the popular engineer Massimo Tamburini, who began work on his brainchild shortly after Ducati and demonstrated the result of his work at the dawn of the last century. The 16-valve four-cylinder engine is liquid-cooled. Power of 200 horsepower allows the bike to accelerate to 306 km / h.
A fairly young bike, presented to the general public at a motorcycle show in Tokyo just ten years ago, entered the assembly line a year later. The bike was conceived as a replacement for the ZX12R. The weight of the Ninja is only 220 kilograms, and the available 200 horses make it capable of accelerating to hundreds of meters in just 2.9 seconds. The acceleration limit, which is limited by electronics, is almost 300 km / h.
Chopper, sensational in the motor world. Yamaha bike The 2012 YZF R1 earned not only the title of Yamaha's leader, but also the best in class. He won gold in World Superbike races many times. This chopper was presented to the world in 1998. Its performance is impressive: a motor with a capacity of 180 horses at 12.5 rpm, a weight of only 206 kilograms, speed limit- almost 300 km / h.
This model became famous after it was used by the BMW Motorrad Motorsport pilot team in world motorcycle racing competitions. The model went into production not so long ago - in 2008. The bike weighs only 183 kilograms, but this lightweight can reach 100 km / h in 3.1 seconds. Thanks to powerful motor at 193 horsepower, an iron horse can reach top speed at 299 km/h, and if it wasn't electronically limited, who knows how much it would have accelerated?
Many people think that the most big motorcycle in the world must be the most powerful. Let's see if this is true.
Truly, the public saw the largest chopper on the planet in 2012 in Italy at the Motor Bike Expo. Its dimensions are really amazing: this monster reaches 6.5 meters long, 3.43 meters high, and its weight is almost three tons! Engineers from Regio Design, led by Fabio Reggiani, worked on the giant. For the construction of the “largest” iron horse it took four months.
Even these huge dimensions did not affect the performance of the chopper, it can really be controlled, however, if you have very long limbs and a height of at least four meters.
By the way, his predecessor, who had the title of “the biggest motorcycle”, does not care at all how tall the person who saddled him is. Creator Greg Dunham designed it in such a way that it can be ridden without problems. The dimensions of the now silver medalist do not differ much from the current one. Its length is 6 meters, its height is 3 meters, and its mass is also a little short of three tons. This does not prevent the motorcycle from gaining speed up to 104 km / h (yes, this is not the fastest bike in the world, but consider the dimensions), and its engine has 500 horses.
Greg began to create this colossus, arguing with friends, confident that no one could make such a big bike. "Dream Big" as evidence was born three years later, depriving its owner of 300 thousand dollars. Although, as Greg says, now there are a lot of people who want to get hold of such a giant, and even a queue has lined up.
