As opposed to cars, it seems that motorcycles did not evolve with the same speed as cars and that is why nowadays you will notice that while cars have all the latest technologies implemented in their design, motorcycles are still far behind. However, when it comes to bikes they are either luxurious or very fast and that is why in the following paragraphs we will take a closer look at the Top 10 Fastest Motorcycles in the World 2014.
10. Ducati 1098 Series
This little bad boy uses a 1099 CC engine that is capable of producing 160 Horse Power and because of that, it easily ranks as one of the fastest bikes in the world. Using the 4 high efficiency valves of its powerful engine, the Ducati can reach one hundred and sixty nine MPH in just seconds. At the end of the day, if you’re interested in a bike that looks good and is also very fast, then you’ll find there are few other choices that can compete with a Ducati.
9. BMW K1200 S
Compared to the Ducati, the K1200 S from BMW is just five MPH faster and at the same time, it also comes for a higher price. The commercial edition that is available to the public features a four cylinder and sixteen valve engine that generates 164HP. Design wise, this bike looks astonishing and in fact it’s one of the best looking motorcycles on the market today.
8. Aprilia RSV 1000R Mille
The RSV 1000R is basically an Italian motorcycle that uses an Australian engine. While the combination may be a bit strange in the beginning, you should know that this is one of their best models yet. With a 998cc engine, you’ll be able to reach speeds of up to 176MPH with this little bad boy or should we say bad girl? Since it’s so fast, it definitely deserves a spot in our countdown for the fastest motorcycle in the world and here it is standing proud.
7. Kawasaki Ninja
For more than ten years the Ninja has been considered the undisputed title holder of the fastest production motorcycle in the world. The good news is that you can still buy this model because Kawasaki didn’t discontinue it. However, there have been some upgrades and the current model uses an 11.352cc engine that benefits from liquid cooling and it’s capable of reaching speeds of up to 186 miles per hour. Because of its astonishing speed, it’s no wonder why it was the fastest motorcycle in the world for so many years.
6. MV Agusta F4
When this bike was released for the first time, it was actually manufactured by Ferrari and yes, it’s the same company that nowadays produces some of the most exotic and fastest cars in the world. While it was intended to be a luxury motorcycle, people cared more about its top speed and it seems that speed is a department in which the Agusta F4 does not disappoint. With a powerful 200 Horse Power engine, you could easily reach speed of up to 185 miles per hour in it.
5. Yamaha YZF R1
Because of its 1000cc engine, many people call this a true liter class motorcycle. The YZF R1′s engine is a twenty valve and four cylinder powerhouse that has a total output of one hundred and twenty eight HP. Because of that, don’t be surprised that you’ll reach speeds of up to 186 miles per hour when riding it. This is a real racing bike and you won’t be disappointed with it in any way.
4. Honda CBR1100XX Blackbird
While some people call this a tank on 2 wheels, others call it a superbike. At the end of the day though, the CBR1100XX Blackbird ranks amongst the fastest motorcycles that has ever been produced. Its top speed is a jaw dropping 190 miles per hour that is made possible thanks to the 153HP engine. To reach such insane speeds, it seems that Honda has actually collaborated with Kawasaki, borrowing some elements from their fastest bike and implementing them in the Blackbird. And as it seems, this combination has been quite successful.
3. MTT Turbine Superbike Y2K
For a few years it seems that the Superbike Y2K has been the fastest motorcycle in the world and has even been included in the Guinness Book of Records as being the fastest production bike out there. The first model was introduced to the public in the early 2000s and even though more than a decade has passed since then, the Y2K still ranks as one of the fastest motorcycles out you can currently buy. And who can argue with that? With a 320HP engine it can reach an amazing top speed of 227MPH, leaving many other bikes far behind.
2. Suzuki Hayabusa
The Hayabusa series has been launched in 1999 when the Japanese manufacturer has created a new 1340cc engine that was capable of outputting one hundred and ninety seven Horse Power. Thanks to their precise engineering, the Hayabusa was able to reach speeds of up to 240MPH. This is a speed that’s very hard to match and that is why this model deserves taking the number 2 spot in our countdown for the fastest bike in the world.
1. Dodge Tomahawk
There were only nine Dodge Tomahawk units produced and to date, this is the fastest motorcycle that has ever been manufactured. The engine is a massive 500HP V10 titan that has been taken from a Dodge Viper. In theory, the Tomahawk can reach a maximum speed of 350 miles per hour, yet at that point it would practically fly off the road. Currently, there is no other bike in the world that can be compared to the Tomahawk and because of that, it certainly deserves to take the number one spot in this countdown.
With that being said, now you know all about the fastest motorcycles in the world so if speed is your daily cup of tea, any of these will definitely make your dream come true. No matter if you want your bike to look cool or you want it to be fast, you can certainly find your favorite one in this list, so good luck with choosing it!
