Does a blue tiger exist in nature? Elusive blue tiger
One of the modern vehicles, the movement on which gives a feeling of freedom and increases the amount of adrenaline in the blood is a motorcycle. There are many varieties of it, so every motorcycle enthusiast has the opportunity to find something for himself. In this article, I want to present to you the top 10 fastest motorcycles for 2014-2015 in the world so that you can enjoy their power, aesthetics and, of course, speed performance.
Ducati 1098
I have chosen this one for tenth place in our ranking. sports model, which can be called one of the best in its class. It is driven by a powerful power unit capable of producing 119 kW, 160 hp, acceleration to “hundreds” takes only 3 seconds. This impressive two-wheeled iron horse can travel at a top speed of 290 km/h. and this with 173 kg weight. The Ducati 1098 first appeared on the market in 2006.
Honda CBR1000RR
The ninth place in the list of the fastest two-wheeled vehicles is occupied by the Honda CBR1000RR. It also belongs to the sports motorcycle segment. Its introduction to the public took place back in 1996, when the first copy was presented as a serious competitor to the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-11. Since then, they have been compared quite often in various parameters, and the Honda CBR1000RR has something to surprise: the power unit produces 200 hp, the speed threshold is limited to 299 km/h, and the model’s weight is 210 kg.
BMW S1000RR
The ranking of the best is also complemented by the BMW S1000 RR. This model became popular after members of the BMW MotorradMotorsport team fought on it for the title of world champion. The world community first learned about it in 2008. Weighing 204 kg, the motorcycle is capable of reaching “hundreds” in just 3.1 seconds. Electronic limitation will not allow the driver to drive it at a speed greater than 299 km/h. Such an impressive speed indicator of the model can be achieved due to the engine, whose power is 199 hp.
Yamaha YZF R1 2015
This model takes seventh place in the top 10 among the fastest two-wheeled iron horses. In its class it is best representative, who, moreover, is a true legend in the world of motorcycle racing. More than once this particular model has left its competitors behind in WorldSuperbike races. Back in 1998, the Yamaha YZF R1 2015 met motorcyclists around the world. Of course, this motorcycle was helped to achieve success in racing by its excellent technical specifications: with a weight of 193 kilograms, it is capable of developing 299 km/h, the engine power is 200 hp, 13.6 thousand rpm, the volume of the power unit is 998 cubic meters. cm.
Bright representative model range Kawasaki, this cool modern motorcycle was first presented back in 2005, at the Tokyo Motor Show. And a year later it started serial production. In my rating, it occupies sixth position with the following indicators: the model weighs 268 kg, and the power unit is capable of producing 210 hp. power. To overcome the 100 km/h mark. it takes 2.9 s. The engine capacity is 1441 cc, and the speed threshold, which is electronically limited, reaches 299 km/h.
It is impossible to imagine a list of the fastest motorcycles without this model. To begin with, it should be noted that its development was carried out by none other than Massimo Tamburini, who also worked hard on the creation of the Ducati 916. The MV Agusta F4 CC was first demonstrated at SKS in 1998. Special attention What is attractive about the design of the mechanism is the engine, which, in addition to being liquid-cooled, is also distinguished by the presence of four cylinders, sixteen valves and a pair of overhead camshafts. Engine capacity is 1078 cc. see and power rating of 200 hp. allow it to accelerate to 306 km/h.
Suzuki Hayabusa - 2014 model
Fourth place in the top 10 for Suzuki Hayabusa. If there is the fastest production two-wheeled iron horse in the world, then this is the presented model. Since its introduction to the market in 1999, this motorcycle has been constantly improved. This has allowed it to become today the fastest production vehicle on two wheels. His maximum speed amazing - 327 km/h, while the power is 197 hp, and the engine capacity is 1349 cc. cm. But such high speed indicators were available in it only until 2001, when electronic limiters were installed on it. As a result, the speed dropped to “only” 299 km/h.
The lucky owner of this vehicle will have to pay about 200 thousand dollars for it. But it must be said right away that this motorcycle is worth it. Such a high price for the presented model can be explained very simply – exclusivity. The manufacturer produces only five copies a year and you have to really try to have time to purchase one of them. In our rating, the model takes third place due to the combination of a rich set additional options– the presence of a rear camera and LCD display, and impressive technical characteristics, among which especially noteworthy is the power of the gas turbine engine, which is equal to 239 kW, 320 hp, a two-speed gearbox and the ability to achieve a maximum speed of 364 km/h.
At the end of the last century, representatives of the motorcycle industry seemed to compete with each other, creating faster and more powerful motorcycles. Each manufacturer tried to outdo the other by producing motorcycles at a higher speed than the competitor. But literally ten years later, a general decision was made to limit motorcycle speeds. The maximum value should not have been higher than 299 km/h. This was due to an increased number of accidents, including deaths, caused by the owner’s desire to show everything his iron horse was capable of.
The place of the champion among choppers is already for a long time holds Mad Ron Laycock, designed by a motorcycle fan from Australia. Its power is drum roll– 3800 horses!
Do you think this is impossible? Perhaps if we put an aviation jet engine Rolls-Royce Viper MK. The chopper is designed on the basis of a series from Yamaha - FJ 1200. The bike was created for races of 402 meters. It's sad, but his speed figures are unknown, although we assure you that they are capable of hitting. Without a doubt, you won’t be able to ride this iron horse, but it can safely be called the most powerful motorcycle.
The Tomahawk differs from its cousins in its non-standard design. It has twin wheels, which are separated from each other by only a small gap. Each wheel has its own independent suspension. The Tomahawk needs dual wheels to adequately receive torque from the supermotor.
The Tomahawk has an engine capacity of more than eight liters from a Dodge Viper with ten cylinders. A super engine of 500 horses allows you to accelerate to hundreds of km/h in a few moments. Basically, if you remove physical factors, the chopper can accelerate to 676 km/h, but in reality its top speed is close to 500 km/h.
The MTT Street fighter chopper didn't go far from the gold. Despite the similarity in design with the next model on the list, its technical characteristics are more powerful: an engine of 420 horses helps it accelerate to 402 km/h.
To become the owner of this superbike, which costs about 200 thousand bucks, means being lucky. After all, a total of five MTT Turbine Superbike choppers leave the assembly line every year. A powerful gas turbine engine of 320 horsepower from Rolls Royce-Allison is not the only advantage of the bike. Fans are very pleased with the two-speed gearbox and the presence of a rear camera with a color LCD screen. By the way, the weight barely reaches 230 kilograms. The speed of this chopper is not bad - 364 km/h.
The Suzuki GSX-1300R Hayabusa also stands out, not only legendary, but also the highest speed among its “conveyor” brothers. Sokol (that’s the name of the bike) went on sale at the end of the last century, and during this period several generation changes occurred.
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 its low weight and excellent aerodynamics, that allows the bike to reach speeds of up to 300 km/h.
This popular motorcycle was presented 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.
Quite a young bike presented general public at a motorcycle show in Tokyo just ten years ago, it entered production a year later. The bike was conceived as a replacement for the ZX12R. The Ninja weighs 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 electronically limited, is almost 300 km/h.
Chopper, a sensation in the motorcycle world. The Yamaha YZF R1 2012 bike has earned the title of not only the leader of Yamaha, but also the best in its class. Won gold many times in World Superbike races. This chopper was presented to the world in 1998. Its performance is impressive: a motor with a power of 180 horses at 12.5 rpm, a weight of only 206 kilograms, a speed limit of almost 300 km/h.
This model became famous after it was used by the BMW Motorrad Motorsport pilot team at 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 a powerful engine of 193 horsepower, the iron horse can reach a top speed of 299 km/h, and if this were not limited electronically, who knows how much it would accelerate?
Many people believe that the largest motorcycle in the world should also be the most powerful. Let's see if this is true.
Truly, the largest chopper on the planet was seen by the public in 2012 in Italy at the Motor Bike Expo. Its dimensions are truly amazing: this monster reaches 6.5 meters in length, 3.43 meters in height, and its weight is almost three tons! Engineers from Regio Design, headed by Fabio Reggiani, worked on the giant. It took four months to construct the “largest” iron horse.
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 are at least four meters tall.
By the way, his predecessor, who held the title of “the largest motorcycle,” does not care at all how tall the person riding him is. Creator Greg Dunham designed it to be easy to ride. The dimensions of the now silver medalist are not much different from the current one. Its length is 6 meters, its height is 3 meters, and its weight also fell just short of three tons. This does not prevent the motorcycle from reaching speeds of 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 creating this colossus by arguing with his friends, who were sure that no one could make such a large bike. “Dream Big”, as proof, was born three years later, depriving its owner of 300 thousand dollars. Although, as Greg says, there are now a lot of people who want to own such a giant, and there’s even a queue.
Traveling by car is good, but traveling by motorcycle is much more interesting. Only on a bike can you experience all the charm and beauty of the surrounding landscape. A person riding a motorcycle is not in a confined space, like in a car - he completely merges with nature. In addition, few people like driving slowly on this type of transport, because most its owners love thrills and extreme sports. That's why it's time to talk about the best and fastest motorcycles in the world in 2018.

It will be quite difficult to see it live because only 9 copies were released.Average cruising speed jet plane is about 950 kilometers per hour, which is only thirty percent more than stated in the data sheet for the most powerful Tomahawk motorcycle. Only bad luck, planes fly, but bikes don’t.
Manufacturers are chasing record numbers because there are people who need the very best. For extreme sports enthusiasts, the boundaries of what is permitted lie on the verge of the possible, otherwise how can one explain the acceleration of a two-wheeled iron horse to the mark of five hundred kilometers per hour.
1.Dodge Tomahawk
The four-wheeled bike accelerates to 97 kilometers per hour in 2.5 seconds. If we forget about counter resistance, then, according to the developers, the motorcycle will be able to reach 640 kilometers per hour.
