Top 15 Fastest Motorcycle in the World
For this post we are showcasing the top 15 fastest motorcycle in the world. Motorcycle design is very beautiful and can serve as great inspiration regardless your niche. The amount of shapes and curves this man-made marvel has is absolutely stunning. You think they would run out of ideas by now right? Wrong. Motorcycle and motorbike designers are constantly pushing the limits to create symbolistic designs that speak for themselves. The speed of a motorcycle vary on how big their engine is. The bigger the engine the fastest it run.
While burying the speedometer deep into the triple digits in a car is exciting, doing the same thing on a motorcycle ratchets the excitement up exponentially. And going wide-open on a street bike? Even more knuckle-bleaching, as the big-inch engine bellows between your legs and the avalanche of angry air – undiluted by a full fairing – attempts to throw you off the bike and throw the bike off the pavement.
Now for this top fifteen article, we are showcasing some of the most fastest motorcycle in the world. Have some time to read and checkout the 15 listed fastest motorcycle below. Enjoy!
Top 15: KAWASAKI Z1000
Description:
Though it has roots dating back to the Z1 of the early ’70s, the current Kawasaki Z1000 is a thoroughly modern crotch rocket. The 1043cc twin-cam four puts out 127hp and buckets of torque. It might lack some of the Ninja’s street cred and fall short in some objective categories, but it gives up almost nothing in terms of thrills.
Top 14: DUCATI MONSTER 1100 EVO
Description:
While some might consider the Ducati Monster to be inferior to its Streetfighter stablemates due to its taller stance and less powerful engine, it’s still a serious piece of hardware. And in top drawer 1100 EVO trim – with a 100hp 1078cc air-cooled twin – it’s even more serious. Who says you need to hug the ground to leave the competition in your dust?
Top 13: NORTON COMMANDO 961SE
Description:
It’s easy to argue that the modern street bike is descended from the “café racers” that became so popular in the 1960s. Bearing that in mind, how cool would it be to own a brand new café racer with a full warranty and is modeled after one of the best known original café racers? Well that’s exactly what you’ll get with the Norton Commando 961SE. While it retains much of the character of an original Commando, there are plenty of modern touches like carbon fiber wheels and EFI for the 961cc, 80hp air-cooled twin. The best of both worlds, if you will.
Top 12: GHEZZI-BRIAN FIONDA
Description:
When the name of a bike translates to “kids catapult,” you know it’s probably the most fun you can have with pants on. That’s the case with the Fionda, the shapely street fighter from Ghezzi-Brian, another small Italian firm. The longitudinal Moto Guzzi V-twin displaces 1064cc and produces 104hp. That’s enough to propel the Fionda to 149 mph, which is just fast enough to ensure that motorcycle nerds won’t have time to stare longingly as you blast past.
Top 11: BIMOTA DB6 R
Description:
Bimota is another one of Italy’s small independent bike builders that uses the big guys’ engines. In the case of the DB6 R, the engine of choice is Ducati’s 1079cc twin. And while it shares its basic shape with the DB6 Delirio, it’s 15.5 lb. lighter, so you can cover ground at an even more amazing rate.
Top 10: TRIUMPH SPEED TRIPLE
Description:
Triumph is an iconic name in the motorcycle world (and has quite a following in the vintage sports car world), and with good reason: It has a long (though not uninterrupted) history of building well-rounded, no-nonsense performance motorcycles. One bike that’s keeping that legacy is the Speed Triple. As the name suggests, it has a three-cylinder engine (1050cc) producing 133hp, and the all-business engineering and aesthetics give it an honest charm not every bike can match.
Top 9: MOTO GUZZI GRISO 1200 8V
Description:
Moto Guzzi might not be as widely known as Ducati or even MV Agusta, but its heritage is just as deep and proud. One of the current models that best embodies the Moto Guzzi philosophy is the Griso 1200 8V, with a longitudinally-mounted 1151cc V-twin, shaft drive and muscular styling. That engine doesn’t like to rev sky high, but you won’t care when the scenery is blasting past.
Top 8: YAMAHA FZ1
Description:
If four valves per cylinder are good, five are better, right? Clearly that was Yamaha’s line of thinking when it designed the 998cc inline-four that propels the FZ1. Yamaha readily admits that this engine is nearly identical to the one in the YZF-R1, though 150hp from a naked bike with a more upright riding position makes for what is in many ways a more visceral riding experience.
Top 7: NCR MACCHIA NERA
Description:
There are naked bikes, and then there are naked bikes. The Macchia Nera (Italian for “black spot”), produced by tiny NCR, falls into the latter category. The 998cc Ducati twin making 185hp isn’t the big news; no, that honor goes to the Macchia Nera’s dry weight of just 297 lb. Only a handful have been built, which is probably for the best (unless you’re awaiting an organ transplant).
Top 6: VYRUS 985
Description:
Italy is not only home to multiple full-fledged motorcycle manufacturers, but also to many small boutique builders. One of these is Vyrus, and its 985 combines a radical hub-steering system with a155hp 999cc Ducati twin to create a rare, distinctive thoroughbred. A thoroughbred that hits 181 mphat full gallop. Porco Dio.
Top 5: SUZUKI BANDIT GSF1200
Description:
While most of the ink and pixels devoted to Suzuki sportbikes are sucked up by the corner-munchingGSX-R (“Gixxer” to its friends) range and the speed king Hayabusa, the Big S also makes a big-bore urban pugilist called the Bandit GSF1200. As the name suggests, the powerplant (a twin-cam four-banger) measures 1157cc and features air cooling. Imports to the U.S. ceased after 2005, so you’ll have to look to the used market if you want to saddle up on a big block Bandit.
Top 4: DUCATI DIAVEL CARBON
Description:
Want to be able to bring the horizon to you with a twist of the wrist? The Ducati Diavel Carbon might be the bike for the job. It’s a bit chubby at 456 lb., but with 162hp coming from an 1198cc twin that’s just as happy loafing around town as it is zinging up to its 9,500 rpm power peak, that’s kind of a moot point, isn’t it? Plus the looks are pure evil.
Top 3: MV AGUSTA BRUTALE 1090RR
Description:
Like Ducati, MV Agusta is an Italian company with a rich competition history. Also like Duc, it produces an over-a-liter street beast called the Brutale 1090RR. And brutal it is, with a 1078cc 16-valve fourputting down 144hp through a slipper clutch and a top speed of 164.5 mph. All that performance and gorgeous looks? Somebody pinch us.
Top 2: HONDA CB1000R
Description:
Although Honda arguably invented the streetbike segment with the 1969 CB750K0, it has spent much of recent history on the sidelines. That changed this year with the introduction of the CB1000R, a naked all-rounder powered by a 998cc inline-four. It might pack “only” 124hp, but thanks to an innovative gravity die-cast aluminum frame, this hot rod Honda is light enough to go, stop and corner with some real superstars.
Top 1: DUCATI STREETFIGHTER S
Description:
If you had to pick just one machine that captures the essence of the streetbike movement, you can’t do much better than Ducati’s Streetfighter S. With a booming 1099cc twin and naked GP racer looks, this155hp brawler gets up and goes, which is no surprise considering it only weighs 368 lb. dry.
