Review on About most expensive things

Top 10 fastest bikes, hopefully well be impressing the boys with this post. Here is an exhaustive list of top 10 fastest superbikes. We have tried our level best to gather information from various sources, and inter-tallied them. This seems to be a viable answer. Top speed would be considered here under testing driving conditions. If youre about own anyone please do let us know how it feels to ride them. Here goes top 10 fastest bikes in the world.

1. Dodge Tomahawk

Engine: 10-cylinder 90-degree V-type
Top speed: 350 miles per hour (560 km/h)
Power: 500 horsepower (370 kW) @ 5600 rpm (45 kW/L)
Transmission: 2-speed manual
Among the top 10 fastest bikes in the world The Dodge Tomahawk is a Viper V-10 based motorcycle a 500 horsepower engine with four wheels. The two front wheels and two rear wheels, make it look like a motorized quadricycle rather than a typical motorcycle. According to official specifications 0-60 mph times have been estimated at 1.75 seconds, with a top speed of 350 mph. But there are also reports that the top speed is 676 km/h (about 420 mph). Chrysler sold nine replicas through Neiman Marcus, for up to $555,000 each. The motorcycles cannot be legally driven on public roads. The unusual vehicle was launched at the 2003 North American International Auto Show in Detroit, Michigan. This bike tops the chart of top 10 fastest super-bikes.

2. Suzuki Hayabusa



Engine: 1340 cc (82 cu in), 4-stroke, four-cylinder, liquid-cooled, DOHC, 16-valve
Top Speed: 248 miles per hour (397 km/h)
Power: 197 horsepower (147 kW) @ 6750 rpm 147kW
Transmission: 6-speed, constant mesh
Standing 2nd in the list of top 10 fastest superbikes the name Hayabusa, translates directly from the Japanese as Pergerine Falcon, the bird commonly attributed of achieving speeds of over 200 mph (322 km/h) and predator of the common blackbird. The name Suzuki Hayabusa is a subtle reference to Hondas competing Hawk models. When introduced in 1999, Suzuki Hayabusa overtook the Honda CBR1100XX Super Blackbird as the fastest production motorcycle. The first generation of the Hayabusa was called the GSX1300R and was powered by a 1299 cc (79.2 cu in) inline-4 liquid-cooled engine. In the US, the 2008 suzuki hayabusa will boast a price tag of $11,999 and stands still in the list of top 10 fastest bikes.

3. MTT Turbine Superbike Y2K



Engine: 227 miles per hour (365 km/h)
Top Speed: Rolls-Royce 250-C20 turbo shaft
Power: 320 horsepower (239 kW) @ 52,000 rpm
Transmission: 2-speed automatic
MTT Turbine Superbike, also known as Y2K Turbine Superbike, is the worlds second wheel driven motorcycle powered by a turbine engine, created by Ted McIntyre of Marine Turbine Technologies Inc and it appears just below Suzuki Hayabusa. Powered by a Rolls Royce Allison 250 series turboshaft engine, producing 238kW (320hp), this motorcycle has a recorded top speed of 227 mph (365 km/h), with a price tag of US$150,000. It is recognized by Guinness World Records as the Most powerful production motorcycle and the Most expensive production motorcycle. Unlike other contemporary motorcycles (such as the Hayabusa), 2001 and later models of MTT Turbine SUPERBIKE do not have the 300 km/h speed limit self-imposed by Japanese manufacturers. MTT has achieved the 3rd rank among the top 10 fastest bikes.

4. Honda CBR1100XX Blackbird



Engine: 1137cc liquid-cooled inline four-cylinder
Top Speed: 190 miles per hour (310km/h)
Power: 114 kW (153 hp) @ 10,000 rpm
Transmission: Close-ratio 6-speed
Honda CBR1100XX Blackbird was the worlds fastest production motorcycle, after ripping the title away from the legendary Kawasaki ZX-11. Production of the Blackbird began in 1996 and halted in late 2007. The Blackbird was last imported to North America in 2003. The Blackbird was a founding bike in the hyper sport touring niche market. The Kawasaki ZX11 or Honda ST1100 may have been the first. This market has since expanded to include the Suzuki Hayabusa, Kawasaki ZZR1200, Yamaha FJR1300, Kawasaki ZX14 and the redesigned Kawasaki Concours. In the US the CBR1100XX never sold as well as the Suzuki Hayabusa, though its owners all appreciate the smooth elegant lines of the bike and its dual counter balancer shafts which give the Blackbird its exceptional smoothness. Blackbird still keeps flying among the top 10 fastest super bikes.

5. Yamaha YZF R1



Engine: Forward Inclined Parallel 4-cylinder, 20 valves, DOHC, liquid-cooled
Top Speed: 186miles per hour (297 km/h)
Power: 128.2 horsepower (95.6 kW) at 10000 rpm
Transmission: Constant mesh 6-speed
Lets discuss 5th position in the list of top 10 fastest bikes in the world. Yamaha launched the YZF-R1 after redesigning the Genesis engine to offset the crankshaft, gearbox input and output shafts and this compacting of the engine yielded a huge dividend in that the total engine length was now very short. The Yamaha YZF-R1 motorcycle, introduced in 1998, was the first significant motorcycle in the true liter class (1,000 cc)
