10. Ducati 1098 Series
Using a 1099 cc engine cranking up around 160 HP, the Ducati is one of the fastest bikes in the world. It is also one of most bought superbikes. It can reach up to 169 miles per hour using its highly efficient four valves per cylinder engine. It is affordable, fast and good looking. Ducati made sure that their motorcycle will surely become one of the kings of the street.
9. BMW K1200 S
The K1200 S is just 5 mph faster than the Ducati. Even it its price is bit higher, the extra top speed makes it land safely on the ninth position. The current edition of the bike that is commercially available uses a 16 valve 4 cylinder engine that generates 164 HP at 10250 RPM. The manufacturers did not neglect the design of the being as it is one of the best looking bikes from the list.
8. Aprilia RSV 1000R Mille
The 1000R Mille is an Italian bike using an Australian engine. It is one of their most famous models that is still being used in competitions, especially the RSV 04 model. The engine is only 998 cc but can reach 175 MPH. It is capable of a maximum output of 141 HP at 1000 RPM which sets it a bit back in terms of power but the speed of the bike makes it worth of being listed in the eighth position.
7. Kawasaki Ninja
For about one decade, the Ninja model held the trophy of being the fastest bike that went in production. The series is still being produced today and there is no sign of Kawasaki discontinuing it. The currently available model uses a 11.352 cc liquid cooled engine capable of reaching 186 MPH or 299 KMPH. These numbers made it the fastest consumer available bike for quite some time and still remains one of the most known models of the manufacturer.
6. MV Agusta F4
MV Agusta F4 was initialy manufactured by the Italian automotive giant Ferrari. It was meant to become a luxurious motorcycle but it turned out that the buyers were more interested in its speed more any other feature. With its powerful 200 HP engine, the bike proved to be one of the fastest accelerating motorcycles capable of reaching 185 MHP.
5. Yamaha YZF R1
Some call it a true liter class due to its 1000 cc engine which actually got it closer to what some might say a true racing motorcycle needs. This power is coming from a 4 cylinder 20 valve engine with a maximum output of 128 HP and a maximum speed of 186 MHP.
4. Honda CBR1100XX Blackbird
Some call it a super bike, others named it a tank on two wheels. The Honda CBR1100XX Blackbird is truly one of the fastest bikes ever made to date. With its top speed of 190 MPH, the 153 HP make it a beast on the road. To make this happen, Honda borrowed elements from the Kawasaki ZX-11 to make up for a highly appreciated sport touring bike.
3. MTT Turbine Superbike Y2K
For some time, it held the Guinness World Record for the fastest production motorcycle. The original model was introduced back in 2000 and even today, after more than a decade, it still stands in the top 3 world fastest. It can reach a top speed of 227 MPH and generates 320 HP at 52.000 RPM.
2. Suzuki Hayabusa
The series kicked off in 1999 and with the introduction of the of the 1340 cc engine capable of a maximum output of 197 HP, the Hayabusa was capable of reaching 248 MPH. Such power is difficult to match at truly earns the number two spot.
1. Dodge Tomahawk
With only 9 units produced, the Tomahawk is the fastest motorcycles ever build. Using a 500 HP V10 engine taken from a Dodge Viper, the model is difficult to match in terms of power. Theoretically, the bike can reach 350 MPH but at that point, the laws of physics and aerodynamics would make it fly off the road. Today it is the fastest bike but time will tell if manufacturers will attempt to build something even more powerful.
