What is the fastest road bike out?

[leddy500]

I've heard loads of different bikes are faster than one another but which one is actually the fastest avalible?

[speed1]

currently i think the MV f4 312 is the fastest production bike at 312kph (190mph) as all the jap companys have a gents agreement to limit there bikes to 300 kph 186mph

It is the MV. All the jap bikes are limited to 186 as mentioned.

Why? Is 160 not enough? hehe

I'm more interested in handling / braking / comfort.

Whats your definition of a fast bike? outright top speed?

i don't think that because a bike can do 190mph then it is the 'fastest'.

What i think is a fast bike is one that can get you to a reasonable pace quickly, but also have all the supporting factors like handling, positive braking etc.

Its the ZX14

Any litre bike goes more than fast enough for public highways

Hi

Fastest production bike is the MV. ZZR14 would be faster if it wasn't restricted.

'busa was the claimed fastest bike, with claims of 200mph for the original unrestricted ones. Reality is that a normal one would be lucky to hit a true 186mph.

All the best

Why is it that anyone under the age of about 20 is obsessed with speed? Once a bike can do over about 120 its fairly academic.

Horsepower is the first thing I want to know about a bikes performance, and even I am thinking now that anything over 100bhp is pointless...

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.

[pa_broon74]

I can tell you which bike it isn't... I own it...

I'm more in to torque than HP, not interested in going fast particularly, but I would like to get to 90 odd as sharpish as possible.

Speed is all relative.

e.g. A harley 'feels' really fast at 100mph because it feels like it's gonna rattle you off the seat.

An unfaired bike feels faster than an faired one.

Usain bolt at top speed looks faster than those cyclists!! Well, he does to me anyway..... hehe

Anyway, VTR is plenty fast enough for me. More importantly, I love the way it gets there!

Why cant people be obsessed with speed? Nothing wrong with that. I look for power to weight ratio when purchasing now, its all about the ratio...

I read in MCN that they took a handfull of bikes to Germany and tested their top speeds, they used two reading the bikes readout and also a proper read out, using a laser gun I guess. Anyway out of them all, I cant remember all of them, but the best was the MV with a true reading of 193mph. The R1 hit 186mph. Which is standard of course.

I wish there were some runways near me I could test my bike out on, Keith you are a lucky sod.

Yeah the MV has blagged it by avoiding the restriction. Not a hard thing to bypass though
ZZR1400 is oficially the fastest de-restricted from what I've read, then the ZX-12R, Busa and Blackbird. The MV is apparently slower than the newer Busas once derestricted.

Why do you need a bike which can go 100mph more than the speed limit
