And even though the Arch is more of bespoke motorcycle builder rather than a major manufacturer, the bikes they build are nothing short of stunning in terms of build quality, performance and price. In many parts of the world, motorcycles are an inexpensive mode of every day transportation. But let’s face it, when it comes to countries like the US, motorcycles are considered primarily a fun toy to use on the weekend or occasional getaway.
The fork’s 43mm inner tubes feature Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) coating to reduce friction and improve reaction to small road surface irregularities. The fork has spring preload plus rebound and compression damping force adjusters so the rider can tune the suspension response to their preference. The Hayabusa’s six-speed, close-ratio transmission was developed to match the engine’s performance while improving durability and simplifying service. The exhaust system is 4.5 pounds (2,054 grams) lighter than the prior system with silencers styled to complement the Hayabusa’s overall look. The silencers also have more capacity for better performance and have been tuned to emit a more exciting sound off idle and at lower speeds. Suzuki Pulsed Secondary Air Injection (PAIR) system introduces fresh air into the exhaust to ignite unburned hydrocarbons (HC) to reduce carbon monoxide (CO) emissions.
Featuring a light, compact and carefully sculpted design that is intended for use on high-performance motorcycles, these calipers increase airflow around the brake pads to cool more quickly and deliver immediate response. The symmetrical twin silencer exhaust system is lighter with better flow and a stimulating exhaust note. The Suzuki Hayabusa has firmly established its status as motorcycling’s Ultimate Sportbike. Riders who have owned or longed for a Hayabusa will recognize the iconic, aerodynamic silhouette that has been polished through wind tunnel sessions so the body… The beating heart of this bagger is the famous Milwaukee-Eight 117 engine. You also get an adjustable rear suspension, LED lights and customized gauges.
All of which means that one of the most often asked, hotly contested and debated motorcycling questions of all – ‘What’s the fastest production bike in the world? When the need for custom fit is called for, you can take advantage of our “Made to Measure” version. With our Made to Measure service, you can also order horizontal dropouts for single speed riding, with either 120mm (fixed gear) or 135mm (single speed) rear dropout spacing.

The fastest motorcycle in the world (currently in production) is the Kawasaki Ninja H2 R which makes over 300 horsepower and can surpass 250mph. Instead, we’re basing our ‘fastest Top 10’ on production road bikes with the highest power-to-weight ratios, which, in simple terms, is the best indicator available to acceleration and, all other things being equal, ultimate speed. Chosen for its high-rpm performance, the centrifugal-type supercharger is incredibly efficient at compressing air (at up to 2.4x atmospheric pressure) while minimizing heat.
After the unbridled success of the MV Agusta F4 CC and its closely-related F R sibling, the brand continued to fine-tune the beastly machine. In late 2007, the MV Agusta F4 R 312 was released, taking its name from the impressive 312 km/h top speed. For a company like MV Agusta, there’s no such thing as good enough. Perfection is the goal, and it’s an endless pursuit of an ever-moving target. Hayabusa and Suzuki logo decals can add a splash of color and an impression of speed to the wheel rims.
