![]() The H2 is essentially a de-tuned version of the track-only bike, and is among the fastest-accelerating bikes ever to go on sale to the general public. It has a track-only sibling, which can reach speeds in excess of 220mph. This bike is the newest of the three Ninja models found on this list, with its production commencing from 2015. Although it’s slightly down on power relative to the other bikes in this list, and despite being over 15 years old at the time of writing, it still retains its rightful place among them. This particular model had an 11-year production run, produced between 19. In fact, three different iterations of the Ninja feature throughout this list. With a name like that, this legendary sports bike could only ever come from one country – Japan. In 2006, the model managed a 185mph (299km/h) run on the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah, USA, making it the fastest-ever production motorbike with a 1000cc engine. The F4 1000 R is no exception, featuring a dual-overhead cam, 16-valve, liquid-cooled engine and styling that makes it looks like it’s going blindingly fast while at a complete standstill. The manufacturer is reputed around the world for producing some of the most exotic motorcycles money can buy. ![]() ![]() This beauty is a limited edition sports bike from the specialist Italian manufacturer MV Agusta. Gear selection is through a six-speed, chain drive transmission, allowing the rider to cover a quarter-mile from a standing start in just 11 seconds. Although it features a smaller, less powerful engine than the previous two bikes on the list, it can go slightly faster than them thanks to its sleek design and very low weight. Yet another highly-exotic Italian sports bike slots into our list at number 8. Its most notable features include its revolutionary suspension design and twin four-piston brakes, which help to slow it from its blazingly-fast 170mph-plus top speed. The K 1200S is easily identifiable as a BMW thanks to its distinctive styling, and is described as a “sports touring” bike. BMW is more well-known for producing crazy, tail-happy sports saloons than motorbikes, however it also produces some of the world’s finest two-wheeled machines.
