Kawasaki Ninja ZX-14 is the fastest?

The Kawasaki Ninja ZX-14 is a force to be reckoned with reasonably priced at $11,599. Exceptional deals on eBay sites such as http://Kawasaki.Itemsonebay.net can save you about 10% or more.

Since its debut in March of 2006, this motorcycle has won every major magazine comparison test it participated in. Earning universal praise for massive torque, effortless power, stable handling and a comfortable riding position, the Ninja ZX-14 has set the highest performance standard in the motorcycle industry. 

Here are some of the key features that Kawasaki says about this fierce machine:

• Most powerful production Kawasaki motorcycle to date with a 1,352cc
• Four-Cylinder, DOHC Engine
• Radial mounted four-piston front brake calipers.
• Next generation monocoque aluminum frame
• Top speed: (186 mph)

This is very impressive but what about Suzuki Hayabusa 1300? Suzuki also says they have the fastest bike. Quoting, “As they say, it ain't bragging if it's true. So when we claim that the Suzuki Hayabusa GSX1300R is the fastest production bike on the planet, we're merely stating the facts.”. Key features for the Hayabusa 1300 which is priced at $11,149 are:

• 1299cc, 4-stroke, four-cylinder, liquid-cooled, DOHC, 16-valve, TSCC
• Dual hydraulic disc front brakes and Single hydraulic disc for the rear
• Rigid twin-spar aluminum frame minimizes weight while maintaining high torsional strength
• Top speed: 296 km/h (183.9 mph)

As you can see far as Miles per hour is concerned. Both vendors are either at or close to 186mph. This is by no coincidence. Top speed is restricted electronically to 300 kilometers per hour (187 mph) for both Kawasaki and Suzuki based on a gentlemen's agreement between them. This limit has been in effect on both Kawasaki and Suzuki hyper sport motorcycles since 2001.The speed limitation makes it difficult at this point to say who has the fastest motorcycle now. If you are looking for a fast out of the gate bike mainly being used on drag strips then the Suzuki may be the bike for you. When you crack the throttle on this beast, it feels as if it is going to do a wheelie. Not a feeling I like for ridding on the streets. Having said this, for speed and comfort. My choice would be the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-14.
