Decreased physical capabilities: not able to steer under the arch of the clouds, like birds; Not capable of rush, as if a smart cheetah, or descend into the depths of the waters, like fish, - the person is forced to adapt and invent all sorts of mechanical devices. But the irrepressive desire to prove that he "faster, above, stronger", characteristic of the "crown of evolution," forces representatives of the human clan to compete in how far their invention will be, starting with bicycles and aircraft and ending with cars and motorcycles.
What kind of motorcycle is considered the fastest in the world and what speed records are put on these two-wheeled machines, will tell the material 24cm.
Artificial ceiling
Before finding out what kind of motorcycle it is possible to name the fastest on the planet as of the end of 2019, it is worth making a small excursion and "walk" on two-wheeled cars capable of challenging the leader of the current rating. And it stands with prohibitions.Not more than 300.
Not only Russian people love speed driving - it is worth remembering all sorts of sports, including motorcycles racing. Even outside the tracks continued with the appearance of the "iron horses" competition both "riders" of two-wheeled "horses" and manufacturers of motorcycas. And this remained without consequences could not.
The rapid development of the motor transport and the stubborn struggle of the developers for the title of the creator of the "fastest motorcycle in the world" led to the fact that at the end of the last century the number of accidents involving more shumbling and yuriki in comparison with cars was significantly increased. The latter negatively affected the course of shares of manufacturers of "two-wheeled monsters", because in a number of countries, the authorities banned to appear on the carriage of their products. To resolve the situation, an agreement was concluded among the companies, prescribing to establish for producing massocycles a speed limit of 300 kilometers per hour (more precisely - 299.3 km / h).
Little cunning
Despite the approved norms, installing insulted motors on the "self-chamber coneasses" did not become - the required limit of the maximum speed on serial motorcycles is fixed by installing an electronic limiter. In other words, despite the agreement wishing to put another record or force adrenaline in the blood boils capable of coming for the title of a speedy motorcycle racing after the corresponding tuning bought in the salon of a two-wheeled car.Outside restrictions
However, some companies have already refused to enter into a restrictive transaction. Among these unicorms is Marine Turbine Technologies, which in 2000 released a two-wheeled apparatus called MTT Y2K Turbine Motorcycle. This motorcycle, equipped as the Allison Model 250-C18 helicopter turbine engine manufactured by Rolls-Royce, is able to develop a speed of up to 403 kilometers per hour. And this is with a capacity of 320 horsepower - in 2015, MTT released an updated version with a 420-strong engine, but what limit speed is able to show a new "monster", while it is unknown.
But the old model, in contrast to the motorobolide with 420 "horses" on board, is the only one of the high-speed motorcycles, allowed to move on public roads. The price of the 320-strong option reached $ 150 thousand.
Leaders
Despite the impressive high-speed indicators that are distinguished by Y2K, the fact that MTT has not signed an agreement to limit the speed of the products conveying from the product conveyor, leaves this model "overboard" the main contest, in which their leaders have emerged.Oh, sport, you are the world!
So, among sports models, the fastest motorcycle is considered to be produced from 2011 to 2014 Ducati 1199 Panigale R, characterized with power in 194.4 liters. with. reduced weight. The limiting speed of the superbike rests on the upper limit of the installed artificial restrictions in three hundred kilometers. Overclocking "from zero to one hundred" takes 3.6 seconds.
Despite the fact that in 2015 presented a new model with a greater power, the record holder among sports serial bikes remains 1199 Panigale R - the new generation came out with a small party specifically for the manufacturer to participate in the world championship superbikes.
Lidi Ninja
Ducati compete is capable of products that have come down from the conveyor of the Japanese concern "Kawasaki". We are talking about ZX-14 and ZX-10R models. The first Bike experts recorded the most powerful among sports models immediately after the appearance of the world in 2005, which is understandable: "Fourteenth" is able to furnish the opponents even at the start - overclocking from 0 to 100 km / h occupies 2.5 seconds. At the same time, the maximum speed indicator, as in the previous case, is resting only in the "artificial ceiling". And considering that the engine capacity ZX-14 is 190 "horses", which is more than another "Japanese legend", Suzuki GSX-R750 (150 l. P.), Accelerating up to 306 kilometers per hour, after disconnecting the "Fourteenth "Also capable of showing record results.
In the ZX-10R "horses" even more, and thanks to a smaller weight, this model is able to make serious competition from Kavasaki.
Japanese Sokol.
It was capable of having a brainchild of another Japanese giant in speed with the "Kawasaki" products, which was manufactured by Suzuki "Hayabus", which means Sokol in Japanese, got into the number of record holders. Moreover, it is not only about serial models, the efforts of the handicraft masters tuning the eliminated electronic limiter, which allowed them to speed up to 360 kilometers per hour.
Also you can not forget and improved "Falcon" - Suzuki GSX1300R. After appropriate refinement on this American racer Bill Warner twice set the world record of speed: 448 km / h and 502 km / h. It is not known how much the stubborn American to get involved, if his career and life were tragically cut off due to the accident at the next sports competitions.
No exclusive, but a fantastic luxury
It is worth noting that the "record holder" GSX1300R does not apply to any series. On an exclusive model prepared for the establishment of a record, stood on a methanol with a capacity of 1000 liters. with. against 197 l. with. On serial motorcycles, body kit brought to aerodynamic perfection, the wheels were replaced by carbon. Also "brought to mind" grip, exhaust system, gearbox, suspension and brakes.
But the "creation" of the company Dodge called Tomahawk, as opposed to the "Hayabus" created in a single copy, although it was collected manually and remains a prototype, but it was released since 2003 in the amount of 10 copies. According to the development of developers, the speed of this "craft" without additional revisions - 468 km / h.
However, according to the Creators, Tomahawk is able to accelerate to 615 kilometers per hour. Fortunately, the engine from the Dodge Viper, which disperses the motobolide to hundreds in 2.5 seconds, and the design of the suspension with parsed wheels theoretically similar allow. Unfortunately, the confirmations of the last statement never received - people who bought Tomahawk people prefer to keep such a futuristic luxury item, whose photo reminds a model from a fantastic novel, in the garage, and not drive on it, experiencing a strength: the price of this monster is More than $ 555 thousand
Thus, being in the theory of the fastest motorcycle in the world, in practice "Tomahawk" is inferior to the first place to the finalized "Japanese Sokol" and the courage of him who has already had a "rider".
