The GSX1300R is our number one sports bike. It was designed to be the fastest despite equal performance to the next 2 bikes on our list. We felt that its potential is slightly ahead of its competitors due to acceleration, potential unrestricted top speed and ride quality. In 2009 the Hayabusa features the best power-to-weight ratio and presents as one of the sharpest looking motorcycles ever made.  The revised engine has a claimed 12% increase in power to 194hp / 145 kW. This bird is said to be capable of speeds of over 303km/h electronically restricted with 0 to 60 mph acceleration in 2.47 seconds.

The RR 312 is not a machine to be bothered with limits or weak points and for this reason, only the best components that money could buy have been used. The 2009 MV Agusta F4RR 312 1078 is more affordable with the estimated price of $28,000USD. The peak horsepower is in black and white: 190hp / 142kW. Top speed is a scary 299 km/h with acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in just under 3 seconds, but equally disconcerting is its dry weight 192kg / 423lbs.

    I think the Buell 1125 is the best sport bike. but that is based only on look, as I’m shallow and not really a sport bike fan

    of work? I’m completely new to running a blog however I do write in my
    journal every day. I’d like to start a blog so I can share
    my own experience and thoughts online. Please let me know if

    First off I want to say awesome blog! I had a quick question in which I’d like
    to ask if you don’t mind. I was interested to find out how you center yourself and clear your head before
    writing. I’ve had a hard time clearing my mind in getting my thoughts out there.
    I do take pleasure in writing however it just seems like
    the first 10 to 15 minutes are generally wasted simply just
    trying to figure out how to begin. Any ideas or hints?

    Cheers!

    Yesterday, while I was at work, my sister stole my iPad and tested to see if it
    can survive a thirty foot drop, just so she can be a youtube
    sensation. My iPad is now broken and she has 83 views.
    I know this is completely off topic but I had to share it with someone!
