The fastest bike


The Suzuki GSX1300R, also known as the Hayabusa (隼), is a hypersport motorcycle made by Suzuki. It has a 1299 cc inline-4 engine typically rated between 150 and 180 bhp (110 to 132 kW), and was consistently tested as the quickest and fastest production motorcycle in the world circa 2000 (see Cycleworld June 2000, Performance Bikes June 2000, Sportbike Magazine June 2000, Motorcyclist Magazine June 2000, Bikenet Online, Bike Magazine - UK, May 2000, and others around the world). When introduced for the 1999 model year, the Hayabusa was an unadulterated speed machine. This edge has been dulled only a little in subsequent model years (2001 and later) by an electronic speed limiter when the major Japanese motorcycle manufacturers realized that the power and speed wars among flagship sportbikes would not end and would eventually lead to increased government regulation, an unfavorable public image (due to more fatal accidents or higher insurance premiums), or both. The top speed of all Hayabusa motorcycles since then has been limited by the onboard computer to 300 km/h (186 mph). A stock Hayabusa (with a professional rider) will run a sub-10 second quarter mile with trap speeds approaching 150 mph (240 km/h). Many top speed enthusiasts modify the motorcycle with turbochargers, and turbocharged Hayabusas hold many top speed records, including the FIM 1350cc world record of 252.832 mph (406.894 km/h). This is the fastest timed average (two way) anywhere in the world for an open wheel motorcycle, and the fastest AMA US record for an open wheel bike. During the record pass the onboard GPS recorded 261 mph (420 km/h) as a top measured speed.

The Kawi ZX-14 beat the Busa in the quarters and top speed. Sorry Busa lovers.

how much does something like this cost??

Well I will admit that the Hayabusa made a good strong name for itself. Though I would consider it the second fastest production bike, its the most affordable one on the market...

well its unfair to compare with gas turbine engine machinery bcos of course gas turbine produces so much power So compared with its PISTON ENGINE competitors, Hayabusa is the fastest.

until you get to a corner and you might as well be riding a cabbage

Its not the fastest production bike. The Y2k Turbine motorcycle takes the speed title along with the most expensive production bike on the market. Price tag for one is around $200,000 USD.
