Top Speed

VROOM VROOM

The Suzuki Hayabusa holds the world record for being the fastest production bike.This is why if you ever attend a race event, you may see quite a few of these bikes. 

Its 1300 cc engine makes its the second biggest engine on a street bike, behind the Kawasaki zx14. 


However, the Hayabusa still has the fastest land speed. The link attached is a video of how powerful this bike is, even though the motorcycle in the video has some adjustments done to it.

Learning about Motor Bikes 101

Motor Biking Info


For those of you who don't know how to judge sizes of motorcycles or dirt bikes, I'm going to explain.

Dirt bikes have brand names, the cubic centimeters (cc) of the engine, and a stroke number.
RM 250 2 Stroke (taken apart)

For instance, in my welcome photo the bike was a ktm (brand), 350cc (cc of the engine),4 stroke. Stroke is the  amount of power cycles an engine needs to create movement, engine power cycles vary in size. However, dirt bikes come only in two different power cycles 2 stroke or 4 stroke. 

Stroke Number (more detailed)
  A two-stroke, engine is a type of engine which completes a power cycle with two strokes  which makes the piston create an up and down movement to get the only one crankshaft  started.

 This is in contrast to a "four-stroke engine", which requires four strokes of the piston to  complete a power cycle.

Motorcycles are different. There's so many versions of motorcycles but for now I'll talk about street bikes. They will have a brand name and the engine size. Such as a Suzuki 600, 750, 1000, and 1300.
