Every motorcycle lover has thought at least once in their life about which is the fastest motorcycle in the world. So today, I will talk about the fastest bikes in the world. The Dodge Tomahawk is the world’s fastest motorcycle. The Dodge Tomahawk is a non-street legal vehicle. But the fastest street-legal motorcycle is the Kawasaki Ninja H2. The Kawasaki Ninja H2 is street legal but it is not the fastest. The Dodge Tomahawk’s top speed is 420 mph (675.93 km/h). The Kawasaki Ninja H2’s top speed is 200 mph (322 km/h).
The Dodge Tomahawk was introduced in 2003 by Dodge at the North America International Auto Show. The Dodge Tomahawk’s engine is a Viper (V-10, 8.2 L, 20-valve) borrowed from the Dodge Viper. It can produce 500 hp @ 5,600 rpm, and the engine can produce 712 Nm of torque. The Dodge Tomahawk has only a 2-speed manual transmission. It has 2 tires in the front and 2 tires in the back. It weighs 1,500 lb (680 kg), and the fuel capacity of the Dodge Tomahawk is 3.35 US gallons (12.7 L). Only one Dodge Tomahawk was built by Dodge, but nine others were constructed by Neiman Marcus and sold for $550,000 each!
The title of the fastest street-legal motorbike sometimes alternates between different models produced by Kawasaki, Suzuki, BMW, and Ducati, among other manufacturers. The maximum speeds of these motorcycles typically fall between 180 and 220 mph (290 and 350 km/h), depending on the model and any custom modifications.
Kawasaki:
- The Ninja H2R is the fastest production motorbike made by Kawasaki. The Ninja H2R’s 998cc inline-four supercharged engine makes it an incredible machine. It can reach incredible speeds and is only meant to be used on tracks. It has an electronic top speed restriction of about 400 km/h (248 mph).
Suzuki:
- The Suzuki Hayabusa is Suzuki’s entry in the race to be the fastest motorbike. The amazing speed and power of the Hayabusa have long been recognized. Introduced in 2021, the most recent iteration has enhanced aerodynamics, sophisticated electronics, and a bigger 1340cc engine. It is electrically restricted to a maximum speed of about 299 km/h (186 mph).
BMW:
- The BMW S1000RR is the company’s fastest production motorbike. The technology and performance of this superbike are well known. A 999cc inline-four engine with cutting-edge electronics and aerodynamics powers the most recent versions. Although breaking the record for fastest top speed is not BMW’s only goal, the S1000RR can achieve over 300 km/h (186 mph).
Ducati:
- The Panigale V4 R is the quickest motorbike ever produced by Ducati. With a 998cc V4 engine that’s taken from Ducati’s MotoGP motorcycles, this superbike is designed to be fast. Both its sophisticated circuitry and power output are outstanding. The Panigale V4 R can reach peak speeds of well over 300 km/h (186 mph), yet Ducati does not place much emphasis on reaching the fastest possible time.
