Which is the fastest production motor cycle?

Answer 1

All production Japanese motorcycles capable of such speeds are nowadays limited to 300kph/186mph from the factory. This question is asked fairly often; someone always mentions the Marine Turbine Technologies Y2K gas turbine powered bike, as it's theoretically capable of speeds in excess of 225mph, but they aren't exactly mass produced, being basically made to order. The early model Suzuki GSX1300R "Hayabusa" was made without a speed limiter, and was measured at 198mph by one UK magazine, so that's probably the one to go for, but after the first year or two of production they were speed limited, as mentioned above.

Answer 2

All motorcycle manufacturers came to an agreement a couple of years ago to limit their bikes to 300km/per hr. Thats around 187 mph. The Y2k mentioned above is technically a motorcycle - but with a helicopter turbine engine and a price tag of $150,000 I dont class it as a production bike. ( Its made to order ) The 2000/2001 Suzuki Hayabusa still holds the record at 202 mph straight out the crate. If you unrestrict and re-map the ignition of the Kawasaki ZZR 1400 I believe that would be the fastest now. Im unsure about a top speed ( buy one and let me know ) but it,ll break 210 Im sure. Personally, Ive had many bikes over the years and the only one Ive kept is my 1984 Yamaha RDLC 350 ypvs. Its a 2 stroke mental wagon. Completely environmentally unfriendly. Costs a packet to run and maintain. Its a stage 2 - 450cc at the moment and I love it. Its not the fastest bike, about 135 mph and I bottled it. It is the coolest though, what a goddam racket those shortened microns make.

Answer 3

depends on if you mean top end or how fast it gets there.
think your find that a gsxr1000 will get there as quick if not quicker thena busa due to the fact it weighs a lot less.
dont think the aprillia is the fastest some how as twins dont have the rev ceiling of a four.
the major difference is the rider thats what makes the bike tick.
someone who can keep the front down will get there quicker.

Answer 4

There is actually a voluntary agreement in force between manufacturers to limit top speeds to 300kph (186mph) and many bikes reach this limit. As far as I know no manufacturer has broken the agreement and produced an unrestricted machine. To speculate which would be the fastest without this limit is fun though...... my vote goes to the ZZR 1400.

Answer 5

Most people get the answer to this question wrong (see above).

The world's fastest production motorcycle is still the M.T.T. Y2K. Its top speed is well over 200mph. Unofficially, it has been clocked at 230mph.

Nothing else in the world can get close...

Answer 6

the hayabusa used to be the ultimate speed rocket for production bikes. But then the Aprillia showed up. I'm not 100% sure but i think the Aprillia is still the fastest production bike. I'm not sure about the name of the bike either. I read about it in a mag once.

Answer 7

Answer 10

Of course when you bolt on the goodies,and you know you will,the stats change.I guess the real question is,what bike rules when it is race ready?
