who makes the fastest street legal bike?

 

I would say either the Kawasaki zx-12r or the Suzuki Hayabusa 1300. I think they even make a zx-14 now, but i'm not sure. These are straight line fast bikes, and don't handle as well as their smaller brothers because of their weight and size. There may be a faster one, but not that i'm aware of.

 

ZX-14 is insanely fast (110 in first gear, and makes more power than 95% of the 2000-3000lb cars that people have).. and its got the shortest wheel base in its class, almost as short as most 600s. imagine a 400lb, 55" wheelbase, 200hp machine.. mm mmm... slap a turbo on that bad boy.. fastest street legal bike i ever seen was close to 6 second quarters and did 230+.

 

My question is why do you want to know?

 

so he can go out and buy it and instantly know how to drive 200+ mph and smack into a telephone pole or high side it around a corner.

 

ewood, how do you like that 636 you've got? i've been looking at those.

 

Love it. I love kawasaki. I want to upgrade to a zx-10r once i get better at riding, but im 145lbs and the 6r HAULS ASS. its tuned quite a bit better than the RR for mid-torque (the extra 37cc helps too) and its very noticable. If your looking for a 600 class bike that your not going to be pro-racing id say the zx-6r is the best hands down in my opinion. only complaint would be the lcd contrast on the guages.

 

well if you're in cali let me know when you want to get rid of it.
