Motorcycle in Cyprus is not a bad idea considering the climate and the terrain of the island. If you are a fan of two-wheelers and may even consider one as your mode of transportation, you might be interested in our selection. It includes the fastest motorcycles in the world - you should expect that their price tag is not small either. You can't reach the highest speeds on the Cypriot roads on a motorcycle, but apart from power, these motorcycles have other advantages.
10. BMW K1200S - 280 km/h
The first entry on the list is a representative from BMW. The K1200S has a 4-cylinder engine with 164 hp, which allows it to accelerate to 280 km/h. Despite the appearance, the motorcycle is not a hundred percent sport bike: it is quite comfortable and suitable for long journeys.
In addition, the model allows you to take quite a lot of luggage with you. That's why the K1200S is so beloved in its homeland, Germany. Travelers appreciate it for its compactness, speed, and comfort. Such a motorcycle can be bought at auction or pre-owned at a price from 2.5 thousand dollars to 6.5 thousand dollars.
9. Aprilia RSV Mille - 281 km/h.
The next fastest motorcycle in the world " surpassed" the previous variant by only one 1 km/h. For the most part, this is not even a difference - so you can safely put them in the same row. Aprilia RSV Mille was produced until 2003, but even after that there were updates - but in very limited numbers.
This very light sports bike with a 140 hp engine will appeal to those who like fast and unforgettable rides. It costs about 8 thousand dollars, but you can find it also cheaper.
8. Kawasaki Ninja ZX-14R - 295 km/h.
Large enough for a classic Japanese sports motorcycle, the KawasakiNinjaZX-14R is extremely popular, especially in its homeland. A powerful 200 hp engine and increased fuel pressure enable it to reach an impressive speed. But it is necessary to take into account that with its dimensions it is necessary to pay attention to controllability.
Kawasaki Ninja accelerates very quickly: it reaches 100 km/h in 2.4 seconds. You can buy this sporty "beauty" for approximately 20 thousand dollars.
7. MV Agusta F4 1000R - 296 km/h.
Daring, sporty, and temperamental - like all "Italians" - the MV Agusta F4 1000R motorcycle creates an impression of the fastest in the world at first sight. And indeed, the declared speed is almost 300 km/h! Just imagine how the driver will feel on the road.
Produced in a limited number, the MV Agusta F4 1000R has a 4-cylinder engine with 174 "horses". With its light weight, it is characterized by improved handling and is appreciated by connoisseurs. Its approximate price for today is about 30 thousand dollars.
6. Yamaha YZF R1 - 299 km/h.
Yamaha is the permanent and most popular manufacturer of two-wheeled transportation around the world. A novice motorcyclist is very likely to be recommended this brand as the first motorcycle. Yamaha embodies all the following qualities - reliability, controllability, discreet beauty - both in the simpler models and in its faster motorcycles.
So in YZF R1: it is quite possible to reach the speed up to 300 km/h, but at the same time it is characterized by stability and increased safety. The 200 hp engine has a torque of up to 12.5 thousand, which is quite a lot even for a motorcycle of this class. Its price is about 16 thousand dollars and depends on the year of manufacture.
5. Honda CBR1100XX Blackbird - 305km/h.
Honda is another "giant"-manufacturer and a favorite of many motorcycle owners. Its model CBR1100XX, nicknamed by the people Blackbird, satisfied the most picky motorcycle enthusiasts. It was produced for 11 years! That figure says something.
Its smooth running, small in volume, but powerful engine (1.1 liters and 153 hp) make this motorcycle not only one of the fastest in the world but also very pleasant to drive. This Honda costs about 8,000 dollars, which is not much for its excellent technical characteristics.
4. Kawasaki Ninja H2R - 354 km/h.
Another Kawasaki Ninja in our selection - this time it's the H2R with an acceleration to 354 km/h. This is much more than its "little brother"! It is worth noting that this was possible thanks to the most powerful engine of 310 hp with a torque of 14000 rpm, while the volume is less than a liter.
The appearance of the Kawasaki Ninja is remarkable. It once again emphasizes that the motorcycle belongs to the fastest in the world, and also adds zest. Such transportation will appeal to lovers of everything extraordinary. However, you will have to pay a lot for the new H2R: the 2023-24 models cost about 58 thousand dollars.
3. MTT Y2K - 370 km/h
You can tell by the appearance of the MTT Y2K that it is the epitome of power and speed! What is the turbine alone - well, on what motorcycle have you seen such a thing? The design of the motorcycle is just a hint of what this "beast" can do on the roads.
It suffices to say that the engine is created by Rolls-Royce (!): it has 320 hp and a torque of 52k rpm! No wonder this massive beauty can develop and maintain such a great speed. The Guinness Book of Records, he got into the Guinness Book of Records as "the most powerful serial motorcycle", although each copy is made to order. The cost of such a "caprice" starts from 100 thousand dollars.
2. Suzuki Hayabusa - 399 km/h.
Here we came to the motorcycles that are really "the fastest": they develop extremely high speed and are suitable for a few. So, Suzuki Hayabusa: it is powerful, even massive, requiring experience from the ride.
Interestingly, this motorcycle is in mass production. The 2024 models cost about 20 thousand dollars. For this money, the buyer gets a 4-cylinder engine with a volume of about 1.4 liters and an output of 197 hp. Up to 100 km / h this "beauty" accelerates in 2.5 seconds.
1. Dodge Tomahawk - 613 km/h.
One of the most expensive motorcycles in the world: one copy costs from 550 thousand dollars! However, one look at it is enough to understand why: this "monster" is not suitable for mass production, so each new motorcycle is made to order.
Dodge Tomahawk is a "tank" in the world of motorcycles but in a good sense of the word. Interestingly, it doesn't have 2 wheels, but 4. However, they are twinned: this is done for greater stability. And not in vain - the motorcycle weighs about 680 kg and, according to the statements of manufacturers, can reach speeds up to 613 km / h! Admittedly, in life tests, the pilot risked accelerating to almost 500 km/h, however impressive, the figure is also frightening.
The Dodge Tomahawk has a 10-cylinder Dodge Viper engine with an output of 500 hp and a two-speed automatic transmission. The body is made of aluminum, steel, titanium, and carbon fiber and looks as brutal as possible. What is interesting, this giant can drive on ordinary roads. It has not been seen in Cyprus yet: but who knows, if one of the islanders will want to buy such a "horse" one day?
