Motorcycles are faster than vehicles on average due to their power-to-weight ratio and small frame, which provide less wind resistance and a low drag coefficient.
As a result of improvements in design and engines, modern motorcycles have become some of the fastest automobiles in the world.
Regardless of the fact that speed contests began in the 1990s, the majority of the fastest motorcycles of all time are new sports bikes. More so, manufacturers have continued to set a standard with more powerful and track-focused bikes.
1. DODGE TOMAHAWK – TOP SPEED: 350 MPH
The Dodge Tomahawk, which can reach speeds of 420 miles (676 kilometres) per hour while maintaining aerodynamics, resistance, and stability, takes the title of fastest motorcycle in the world.
The Dodge Tomahawk has four wheels, and each of them has its own suspension. The transmission on this bike is a two-speed manual toe shift and uses the traditional chain and sprocket system.
This world’s fastest bike uses the same engine as the Dodge Viper (8.3-liter V10 Dodge Viper SRT10) able to generate an enormous power of 500 hp (370 kW) @ 5600 rpm and a massive torque of 525 lb-ft (712 N⋅m).
The Dodge Tomahawk can accelerate from 0 to 60 miles per hour in just 2.5 seconds, which is extremely fast when compared to other bikes.
Neiman Marcus, a well-known chain of luxury American department stores, sold all nine Tomahawk units produced between 2003 and 2006 for around $550,000USD.
To this day, there is no rival for the Dodge Tomahawk, but due to its four wheels and a few other factors, the bike is not legal for use in the United States.
