MV Agusta F4 CC
One of the legendary motorcycles, has a limited edition, it is difficult to acquire it even on the secondary market. Tamburini, a very popular designer, participated in its creation. Ferrari engineers also took part.
Appearance vehicle indicates that the bike is capable of high speeds - the maximum is 306 kilometers per hour. Power reaches 200 horsepower. Overtaking this bike on the track will be quite problematic.
A nice addition is the many adjustments: this includes adjusting the suspension, adjusting the steering angle, and it is also possible to change the height of the cantilever swingarm. The pilot can adjust the footrest height individually to suit his height. The engine has a control unit that can change power depending on the mode set by the vehicle pilot.
S1000RR
Motorcycle from BMW. This model became very popular immediately after the 2009 World Championship. Pilots from BMW participated in the S1000RR. It became available for purchase in 2008.
Quickly and confidently gaining its 336 kilometers. Power is 225 horsepower. The bike weighs 162 kilograms.

The bike from MTT is also among the leaders. Only 5 representatives of this model go on sale per year, which makes the motorcycle unique.

If you want to get this unit in the garage, you will need to give a rather large amount of $ 200,000.
Street fighter
Another model from the manufacturer MTT. Possesses incredibly beautiful appearance, impressive dimensions and prohibitive power. Outwardly, it is very similar to a turbine bike, but the tactical and technical indicators are very different.
The final power is 430 horsepower, which provides a top speed of 402 kilometers per hour.
Scientific progress opens up new frontiers for humanity. The above TOP once again confirms the fact that nothing is impossible. The world does not stand still, new technologies are developing very quickly, and the very next day our rating of the most powerful motorcycles in the world may become outdated. Over time, models will certainly appear several times more powerful and faster.
At the end of the last century, the representatives of the motorcycle industry seemed to compete with each other, creating faster and more powerful motorcycles. Each manufacturer tried to outperform the other by releasing motorcycles at a higher speed than their competitors. But literally a dozen years later, a general decision was made to limit the speed of motorcycles. The maximum value should not have been higher than 299 km / h. This was due to the increased number of accidents, including fatalities, caused by the owner's desire to show everything that his iron horse is capable of.
The place of champion among choppers has long been held by Mad Ron Laycock, developed by a motorcycle fanatic from Australia. Its power is drum roll - 3800 horses!
Do you think this is impossible? Perhaps, if you supply the Rolls-Royce Viper MK aircraft jet engine. The chopper is based on Yamaha's FJ 1200 series. The bike was built for 402 meter rides. Sadly, his speed figures are unknown, although we can assure you that they are capable of astounding. Without a doubt, this iron horse will not be able to ride, but it can be safely called the most powerful motorcycle.
The Tomahawk differs from its counterparts 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... Twin wheels are needed by the Tomahawk to adequately absorb the torque from the super motor.
The Tomahawk has an eight-liter Dodge Viper engine with ten cylinders. The 500-horse supermotor allows you to accelerate to hundreds of km / h in a few moments. In principle, if physical factors are removed, the chopper can accelerate to 676 km / h, in reality, its maximum speed approaches 500 km / h.
The chopper MTT Street fighter left not far from the gold. Despite the similarity in design with the next model on the list, its specifications more powerful: an engine of 420 horses helps it accelerate to 402 km / h.
Owning this superbike, which costs about $ 200,000, means being lucky. After all, five MTT Turbine Superbike choppers leave the conveyor every year. The powerful 320 horsepower gas turbine engine from Rolls Royce-Allison isn't the bike's only asset. Lovers 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 sickly - 364 km / h.
Also stands out Suzuki GSX-1300R Hayabusa, not only legendary, but also the fastest among the "conveyor" brothers. Falcon (this is the name of the bike) went on sale at the end of the last century, and during this period there have been several generational changes.
The Sokol now has a 1.5-liter 4-cylinder engine, its power is 193 horses, and the torque is simply amazing for a two-wheeled unit. It is this, as well as the low weight and excellent aerodynamics, that the bike can pick up speed 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 soon 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.
A fairly young bike, presented to the general public at a motorcycle show in Tokyo just ten years ago, entered the assembly line a year later. The bike was conceived as a replacement for the ZX12R. Ninja's weight is only 220 kilograms, and the available 200 horses make him capable of accelerating to hundreds of meters in just 2.9 seconds. The acceleration limit, which is limited by the electronics, is almost 300 km / h.
Chopper who made a splash in the motorcycle world. The 2012 Yamaha YZF R1 bike has earned the title not only of the Yamaha leader, but also the best in its class. He won gold in World Superbike races many times. This chopper was presented to the world in 1998. Its performance is impressive: a motor with a capacity 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 the pilot BMW Motorrad Motorsport team took part in the 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 its powerful 193 horsepower motor, the iron horse can reach a top speed of 299 km / h, and if that weren't electronically limited, who knows how fast it would have accelerated?
Many 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, the public saw in 2012 in Italy at the Motor Bike Expo. Its dimensions are truly amazing: this monster is 6.5 meters long, 3.43 meters high, and its mass is almost three tons! The engineers of the Regio Design company, led by Fabio Reggiani, worked on the giant. For the construction of the "largest" iron horse it took four months.
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 a height of at least four meters.
By the way, his predecessor, who had the title of "largest motorcycle", does not care at all how tall the person riding him is. Creator Greg Dunham designed it in such a way that it can be ridden without any problems. The dimensions of the now silver medalist do not differ much from the current one. Its length is 6 meters, height is 3 meters, and its weight is just a little short of three tons. This does not prevent the motorcycle from gaining speed 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 to create this colossus, arguing with friends, confident that no one can make such a big bike. "Dream Big" as evidence was born three years later, depriving its owner of 300 thousand dollars. Although, as Greg says, now there are a lot of people who want to get hold of such a giant, and even a queue has lined up.
