Have you ever wondered what is the fastest motorcycle in the world? We're not just talking about fast motorcycles, but also about the most powerful and mega-fast bikes, capable of accelerating to an incredible 400 km per hour. We have compiled a list of the top 10 fastest motorcycles of 2021, including the legendary Dodge Tomahawk with an incredibly powerful 500 hp engine. at 5600 rpm.
Motorcycles, don't we love them? The faster they become, the stronger our hearts beat. They have the power to turn the most courageous man into a little boy. They just have that vague feeling of excitement that we all want. However, with the plethora of motorcycles available, it can often be difficult to choose the right one. There are so many types of motorcycles and choosing the best option from each type will take time, so we have decided to give you a quick look at the fastest motorcycles in the world in 2021.
If you are looking for an adrenaline pumping bike and have the budget to buy one, then this post is for you. Below is a list of the 10 fastest motorcycles in the world for 2021.
List of the most powerful sportbikes
Even the most accurate measurements may contain hypothetical errors. It may be minuscule and, by its principle, in practical terms, it may not be so important technically, but its existence will nevertheless be known, which for, say, idealists themselves can become a serious obstacle.
We all understand that any technique loves precision. It is certainly required both in technical calculations of vehicles and in their specific production. No less important here is the accuracy in providing the technical characteristics of this vehicle, namely, what are the dimensions of the car, how much it weighs, what is its power and what is the torque. It is with the latter that problems most often arise.
Very often, if not almost always, the declared power by a car manufacturer differs strikingly from the real one (or, more precisely, from what is measured on a dyno stand), and in the direction of overestimating the former. It may initially seem that selfish manufacturers are trying to inflate these figures in order to increase the value of their equipment compared to the same competitors. But in reality this is far from the case. It’s just that when conducting factory testing, so many variable values are taken into account that it is very, very difficult to track all of them on a regular dynamometer, or it (the dynamometer) is simply not able to show them.
One of the many American automobile sites conducted its research on a dynamometer, setting the power of motorcycles in 2015, on the basis of which it made conclusions about the approximate discrepancy between its measurements and factory power measurements. Next, they compiled a detailed report-rating of the ten most powerful bikes of the past 2015.
Before we dive into this definitive list, we want to make a quick footnote.
The presented figures are typical for motorcycle models created specifically for the American market. In European and even more so in Japanese bike models, this power may differ slightly.
Power was measured based on independently performed tests.
Yamaha R1 and R1M - 186.4 hp at 12,000 thousand rpm
Just a few months ago, you only needed 179 hp to make this list. Then the 10th place in the ranking was occupied by the Motus MST-R model. Times have changed! Now the minimum for a bike top is 186 hp. and which the Yamaha R1 model motorcycle has, leaving behind the same Motus and thereby shifting down the 2015 specification, i.e. motorcycle models - Aprilia RSV4 and the old 1199 Ducati Panigale, in which tests showed 181 hp. The experienced fighter motorcycle model GSX-R1000 with its 182.4 hp could not withstand the competition.
Given such a huge investment in this Yamaha, the company could have hoped for a higher figure than what it turned out to be.
BMW S1000RR - 190.4 hp at 12.500 thousand rpm
Just recently, the previous HP4 model (derived from the S1000RR) could only be content with the last place in the table. The new basic road version of 2015 has caught up, its capabilities have increased today, to the same 190 hp. It is noteworthy that the year before last, sportbikes with similar engine power could only count on sixth place in the ranking. What we mean is how quickly the technology of new generations of internal combustion engines is moving forward.
Suzuki Hayabusa - 194.4 hp at 9.500 thousand rpm
Just as the Americans themselves are accustomed to powerful V8 engines in their cars, so it has become common for the Suzuki Hayabusa motorcycle to extract its horsepower from a 1,300 cc engine. “An old horse will not spoil the furrow,” says one old saying. This saying can be applied to the Hayabusa sportsbike model this time too. This old man is still giving off heat! His measurements on the dino showed a result very close to 200 hp, which was only 5.6 “horses” short of that.
Such power of the bike directly indicates that the technologies that were originally used on Hayabusa motorcycle models were long ahead of their time. Without any major modifications, Japanese engineers today manage to steadily increase the power of their superbike.
Andreas
Andreas Georgedes has been a fan of motorcycles all his life, participated in races and literally “dissolved” in his hobby. Racing is good, but engineering hunger also required satisfaction. Andreas has several very interesting motorcycles, but let us highlight the Andreas bike with a V8 engine from a Ferrari 308.
Like Millyard, Andreas relied more on instinct than on any precise calculations. It took a lot of work to install the engine on the frame - some modifications were required. Rumor has it that due to lack of money, Andreas even had to pawn one of his bronze medals, which remained from his days of active participation in racing. And the workshop looked completely different from what one might imagine: instead of a large and bright room with an unimaginable set of tools, Andreas was content with a small room, which is not much different from the average garage. In general, there would be a desire.
Ducati 1199 Panigale R and Superleggera - 194.4 hp at 11.250 thousand rpm
The old 1199 Panigale may have left our ranking list, but the homologation R version of it still remains on the list, along with another super-expensive model like the Superleggera, which shares the same engine spec. The same power as the V-Twin Hayabusa sportbike, which at the same time has 100 hp. less than a remarkable achievement to say the least.
"Harley-Davidson Fat Boy" - the best chopper
In the top 1000cc motorcycles, this bike occupies the best place among choppers. It is equipped with a V-engine and a six-speed gearbox, ABS with cruise control and soft suspension.
Peculiarities:
- wide fenders, muscular design in retro style;
- comfortable steering system, competent weighting;
- acceleration with two riders – up to 200 km/h;
- ground clearance - 130 mm.
The first modification of the Harley-Davidson of this series was ridden by Arnold Schwarzenegger himself in the film “Terminator”. Now it is still the same model from the outside, but with a more advanced layout. Now it has everything for a fast and safe ride - powerful hydraulic brakes, a wide low saddle and a 5250 rpm engine.
Ducati 1299 Panigale and Panigale S - 194.4 hp at 10.500 thousand rpm
Look, friends, what some 100 cubes can do. The previous base model 1199 Panigale developed and carried “only” 181 hp, and in 2015 several additional cubes raise its power to 194.4 hp. With the increased volume, the revolutions themselves decreased, at which the peak power of 750 rpm was reached, when compared with similar indicators of the Superleggera model motorbikes or the R version.
MV Agusta F4, F4R, F4RR and F4RC - 197.1 hp at 13.600 thousand rpm
You and I must admire the achievement of the motorcycle company with the MV Agusta bike in creating the F4 engine, which turned out to be so powerful and amazing. Without some 3 (three) horses, almost 200 horsepower! And all this despite the fact that we have before us a simple 998 cc basic design, which, by the way, at the present time can hardly be called the latest. It should be replaced in 2021 by an all-new four-cylinder engine. What does it mean ? We are confident that Agusta will be able to break the 200 hp mark. in its sports line of motorcycles.
Street Fighter
Another model from the manufacturer MTT. It has an incredibly beautiful appearance, impressive dimensions and incredible power. Outwardly, it is very similar to a turbine bike, but the tactical and technical indicators are very different.
The total power is 430 horsepower, which provides a top speed of 402 kilometers per hour.
Scientific progress opens up new frontiers for humanity. The TOP described above 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 ranking of the most powerful motorcycles in the world may become outdated. Over time, models will definitely appear that are several times more powerful and faster.

Kawasaki Ninja H2 - 197.1 hp at 11,000 thousand rpm
The power of the Kawasaki H2 sportbike, as it turned out, exactly corresponded to what was declared by the manufacturer - 197 hp. The H2R track model showed how the performance of the same engine can vary when it does not have to meet emission control guidelines. However, such a motorcycle will not be released on the road. But the H2 model is environmentally friendly; it is one of the greenest sports bikes on the market. And at the same time one of the most powerful.
Yamaha V-Max - 197.4 hp at 9,000 thousand rpm
Another motorcycle legend, the V-Max model. Despite its very strange roots in the intricacies of which obvious signs of incest are visible, this model of a sportbike shows quite good results time after time. Its huge 1.679 cc engine easily produces 197.4 hp. at 9,000 thousand rpm. The Americans received such indicators during their measurement tests. In terms of torque, this 1.6 liter engine was head and shoulders above all other competitors.
The only negative about this V-Max model, which is logical, is that it is excessively heavy.
BMW K1300S – 285 km/h
Experts called it a competitor to Hayabuse, fans called it an intergalactic cruiser. The Bavarian motorcycle was designed to be light and nimble. You can drive a super sports motorcycle through the narrowest streets of Rome without slowing down (but this is prohibited by law!).
Options:
- engine – 175 hp;
- number of cylinders – 4/row;
- cooling – liquid;
- gas tank - 19 l (up to 380 km on 1 tank);
- transmission – 6-speed with constant mesh gears;
- weight – 228 kg;
- acceleration to 100 km/h – in 2.9 seconds;
- maximum speed – 285 km/h.
Additional options:
- SportRain engine adjustment;
- electronic suspension adjustment;
- immobilizer;
- ABS;
- side cases;
- tire pressure sensor;
- traction control system.
Price: from 1,120,000 rubles.
Aprilia RSV4 RR, RSV4 RF (model 2016) - 198.5 hp. at 13,000 thousand rpm
Second place in the ranking. The compiled list clearly shows how difficult it is for motorcycle manufacturers today to cross the threshold of 200 hp. What a difficult task this is.
More recently, the Aprilia model had a “modest” 181 hp engine, but the latest tweaks for the 2021 model year motorcycle have made a serious improvement in it. The result is obvious - 198.5 hp, the most powerful production liter bike currently sold in America.
It’s surprising but true why so few people buy such a technological masterpiece.(?)
Stylish MTT Turbine Superbike Y2K
The top three fastest bikes are completed by the American MTT Turbine. Agree, to give your motorcycle the name superbike, you need to have a lot of confidence and determination. But the model developers decided to take a risk, and their action was completely justified. This model is even recorded in the Guinness Book of Records as the most powerful production motorcycle. Turbine Superbike is equipped with a turbo engine, which was developed for it by the famous British company Rolls-Royce. The price of the motorcycle is 100,000 dollars, which in rubles is 6,220,452 rubles. The speed of the motorcycle is 365 km/h.
Kawasaki ZX-14R (ZZR1400) - 207.9 hp. at 10,000 thousand rpm
It was number one last time and remains so to this day. This did not cause any particular problems for the ZX-14R sportbike; 2021 will further show whether the hegemony of this sportbike will continue in the future.
The ZX-14R sportbike model, known in Europe as the ZZR1400 model, may be an atavism from the point of view of thinking of the ongoing “battles” of the maximum speeds of the Blackbird/Busa/ZX-12R model motorbike, the turn of the current millennium, but no one has any doubts about its effectiveness No.
Power is not the most important thing in a motorcycle. So, it is quite possible that the most powerful sportbike of all may not show the most impressive results on the motorcycle track. But nevertheless, an additional 10 horses can always be useful on straight sections, where it would be difficult to find an equal to the ZX-14R sports bike.
Well, it goes without saying that the owners of Kawasaki motorcycles are the only ones who can officially say or declare today that they own a production bike with more than 200 hp. As they say, it’s a small thing, but it’s nice! See you later, friends.
The best motorcycle for women is “Harley-Davidson SOFTAIL DELUXE”
This is one of the most popular “heavyweights” among women with a 1580 cc engine. It features a low seat position and a low center of gravity. This bike has good balance and not very wide handlebars, thanks to which it can quickly maneuver even in the tightest traffic.
Peculiarities:
- instrument panel with light sensor;
- front chandelier of headlights - 3 main and 2 turn signals;
- auto-dimming mirrors;
- wide comfortable saddle;
- good dynamics and quick acceleration;
- classic Harley-Davidson dashboard - in retro style;
- simple and durable air-cooled motor;
- squat position of the rider - 67 cm from the asphalt;
- good brakes and quick speed release.
Instead of a classic ignition key, this bike is equipped with an anti-theft system. If its electronic chip is outside its radius, it will simply be impossible to start the motorcycle. In addition to the immobilizer, to protect your Harley, you can use a special key to lock the steering fork and central ignition selector. This security system significantly reduces the risk of theft, which is especially important for those who often travel long distances.
