Riding the fastest motorcycles money can buy requires a specialist delivery service to safely transport your superbike and all of its vital components to the track of your choice, where you can see its full potential.
Part of this is about preservation; motorcycles can be fragile and need the deft hand of a specialist who understands their specific requirements and knows how to handle them with care.
The other reason is that the fastest bikes available on the market are technically not road legal.
Why Are Very Fast Motorbikes Illegal On The Road?
Since the release of the Suzuki Hayabusa in 1999, there has been an agreement amongst major manufacturers to limit the top speed of street-legal motorbikes to around 186mph in order to avoid risks of a war of escalation that could cause legal restrictions on performance motorbikes.
Whether this so-called gentleman’s agreement is still in place remains a matter of fierce debate, but the upshot of this is that the fastest bikes that money can buy are ones that a motorcyclist cannot ride on the road, at least not legally.
The fastest and most powerful production petrol-powered motorcycle on the market at present is the Kawasaki Ninja H2R, a track day variant of the Ninja H2 that has a claimed top speed of between 215 and 249mph.
However, in that configuration, with specialist gearing, winglets, tyres and race suit, the H2R is illegal to use on the road as it does not conform to the requirements surrounding number plates, lights, indicators and other essential components.
What Should You Do If You Want To Ride A Very Fast Superbike?
This means that your only option if you want to ride a motorcycle like the Ninja H2R, especially at the speeds that justify its significant price tag, is to source a transportation solution to get it to a race circuit or private track that offers track day services.
The delivery service will ensure your bike gets there as soon as you need it whilst you make your own way to the track. You can then spend an afternoon pushing it to its limits before getting it delivered back home or to your workshop.
