TOP 10 FASTEST BIKES IN THE WORLD!
Firstly, we all know how controversial this topic is around the globe, there are a range of experimental figures and experiences of several riders present in market for a particular bike. Generally, claimed figures by a lot of companies are calculated in very ideal and favorable conditions for them, data changes drastically in real life experiences.
In my opinion, it is meaningless to conclude and rank bikes on basis of experience of different riders. So, we'll give them ranks by the ratio of their power to weight, which can be an ideal list for "Top 10 fastest bikes in the world".
We will consider dry weight (without fuels or any type of oil, water) of bikes, and power figures claimed by companies in bhp, for calculating their ratios.
Let's get started...
10. Norton V4 RR
Claimed Peak Power : 200 bhp
Estimated Dry Weight : 179 Kg
Power/Weight : 1.117 bhp/Kg
This is limited edition bike by Norton, which already holds a good amount of controversies around it. But now it's new owner TVS is looking for new production staff for it, we can expect some more of these beautiful beasts raging on roads around us. Relevant figures are 200 bhp from its home brewed 1200 cc, 72 degree V4, dry weight of 179 Kg with it's aluminium tube frame, cycle parts and other basic stock parts.
9. 2020 MV Agusta Rush
Claimed Peak Power : 208 bhp
Claimed Dry Weight : 186 Kg
Power/Weight : 1.118 bhp/Kg
Production of this bike was delayed due to covid 19, but company promises that it will be worth waiting for it. MV announces that only 300 limited edition, Rush, the concept bike styled roadster based on Brutale 1000. MV claims 205 bhp from from it's 998 cc engine, and a dry weight of 186 Kg, and claimed top speed of "over 300 Kmph".
8. 2020 MV Agusta Brutale 1000 Serie Oro
Another beautiful and rare piece of art from MV, The italian firm's Brutal 1000 RR has been reworked for new release of this limited edition bike. It got 4 extra bhp by different exhaust, and reduced weight due to carbon fibre wheels. It is claimed by company that this is "The fastest naked bike in the world".
7. Suzuki GSX-R1000R
Claimed Peak Power : 199.2 bhp
Claimed dry weight : 171.1 Kg
Power/Weight : 1.164 bhp/Kg
A wonderful piece of Japanese work, which is roaming around world for about 2 decades and has not changed very much as compared to it's first edition launched in 2001. But it's safety features has definitely optimized with use of latest technology and upgrades to it's maximum potential, not to compare with its first edition.
6. BMW S1000RR M Sport
Claimed Peak Power : 207 bhp
Claimed dry weight : 173.3 Kg
Power/Weight : 1.194 bhp/Kg
A perfect example to show what difference can be made just by a few years. The latest version has improved very much as compared to its previous version which also was a beast along with a monster performer. It gained about 8 bhp and not only improved it's performance figures but also it is now functional, comfortable and enjoyable for riders, not to mention that it is quicker than ever.
