For years, there was no point to making a list of the fastest motorcycles. Bike makers agreed to limit speeds at 186 miles per hour in order to escape the wrath of safety regulators from Japan to both sides of the Atlantic.
Khodrocar - As a result, only a few manufacturers pushed the limits while the rest offered minor upgrades or track-only extras to increase a bike’s power. Then BMW blew up the agreement (circa 2010), and superbike manufacturers stopped being conservative. Within a few years, they were hitting top speeds that embarrassed the old limits, with several topping 200 miles per hour. Even an electric bike company delivered an emissions-free motorcycle that competed for the world’s top speed. In other words, all bets are off in 2017. Here are the 10 fastest motorcycles on the road.

5. Kawasaki Ninja ZX 14R
Top speed: 208 miles per hour


Once bikes like the Kawasaki Ninja ZX 14R enter the picture, it’s really a matter of who outraces whom. Packing a 1441cc engine capable of 200 hp, this Ninja stood alone in its class before the Lightning LS-218 joined the club. It is one of the heaviest bikes on this list at (584 pounds), but it maintains an impressive ratio of weight to torque at 113 pound-feet. In 2013, Ralph Nicholls set the Australian land speed record on a Ninja ZX 14R with tire and gearing changes. Nicholls rode the Ninja above 208 miles per hour.

4. BMW S 1000 RR HP4
Top speed: 217.7 mph


At 398 pounds including race ABS, this BMW superbike is capable of extraordinary acceleration. Maximum output is 199 hp and 83 pound-feet of torque, affording the S 1000 RR a controlled top speed of 190 mph. Yet at Monza in 2011 the Bimmer hit 196.3 miles per hour. Then in 2014 Valerie Thompson ran this monster to 208.81 miles per hour at Bonneville Salt Flats with about 12 modifications. In September 2016, she dusted both times when she reached 217.7 miles per hour.

3. Lightning LS-218
Top speed: 218 mph



There were plenty of headlines when Lightning debuted its electric production bike that had already hit 218 miles per hour at Bonneville in 2011. To remind everyone of the achievement, it bears the name LS-218. Both the fastest electric bike and one of the fastest road bikes in production, the Lightning LS-218 has everything a speed lover could want. It features 200 horsepower and 168 pound-feet of torque with the ability to hit 60 miles per hour in 2 seconds.

2. MTT Turbine Y2K Superbike
 Top speed: 227 mph



It’s clear why Marine Turbine photographs and tests its bikes on airport runways. For starters, these motorcycles run on jet turbine engines. Factor in that they have been clocked at 227 miles per hour and you see why an airstrip is the ideal location for a test run. The superbike is capable of 320 horsepower on 425 pound-feet of torque.

The MTT Turbine Streetfighter, the company’s follow-up model, has the same Rolls Royce-Allison turbine engine but with an option to upgrade to a monster capable of 420 horsepower and 500 pound-feet of torque. Forget about the 60-mile-per-hour quotes with this one. MTT says this bike can hit 200 miles per hour in 5.4 seconds. If the base model went 227 mph, there’s no telling what the 420-horsepower Streetfighter can do.

1. Kawasaki Ninja H2R
Top speed: 249 mph



The MTT Turbine shook the bike world with its stunning top speed, but then the Kawasaki Ninja H2R happened. This bike, which is legal for riding on closed courses only, nearly matched the Y2K with 310 horsepower. Turkish rider Kenan Sofuoğlu nailed the stunning mark of 400 kilometers per hour (249 miles per hour) riding this bike in 2016. That makes H2R the fastest production motorcycle on the planet.
