Everyone knows that motorcyles are fast, but some of the “fastest motorcycles today are scarily fast.” If you are thinking some might race upwards of 100 mph, think again because some of them can race more than 200 mph! When we think about “speed” we generally think in terms of miles per hour or mph. If we have a “superbike that takes just 2.9 seconds to get from a standstill to 60 mph” you’re talking about a megafast motorcyle. You’re going to meet plenty of them in this book, megafast bikes you probably never knew existed.We do expect motocycles to be fast, but megafast sounds pretty cool, but pretty scary as well. Yep, there are megafast motorcycles out there ... lots and lots of them! One of the fastest is the Flying Tomahawk. Now this motorcycle can practically fly and “Dodge claimed its megapowerful engine would slam it up to 420 mph.” Now that’s a bit of a stretch and since no one has ever really tried it, we’ll never know, but it is a megafast motorcycle. The engine is an 8.3 liter, V10 twin-turbocharged monster so that will tell you something about its power.FLYING TOMAHAWK SPECS:► Power: 500 bhp► 0 - 60 MPH: 2.9 seconds► Top Speed: 420 mph (in your dreams)► Engine: 8.3 liter, V10 twin-turbocharged► Torque: 525 lb-ft► Price: $550.000The Flying Tomahawk might be all talk and no action, but the Honda Humdinger, the Super Blackbird, is as megafast as its name. It was “the world’s fastest bike, with a rip-roaring top speed of 178.5 mph.” That is until the Suzuki Hayabusa came along, another megafast motorcycle featured in this book. It’s long, sleek, ultra-cool look is patterned after the “Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird reconnaissance jet” that flew during the 1970s.
