Top 10 Bikes In India
1. Suzuki Hayabusa GSX 1300R
The GSX1300R is our number one sports bike. It was designed to be the
fastest despite equal performance to the next 2 bikes on our list. We
felt that its potential is slightly ahead of its competitors due to
acceleration, potential unrestricted top speed and ride quality. In 2009
the Hayabusa features the best power-to-weight ratio and presents as
one of the sharpest looking
motorcycles ever made. The revised engine
has a claimed 12% increase in power to 194hp / 145 kW. This bird is said
to be capable of speeds of over 303km/h electronically restricted with 0
to 60 mph acceleration in 2.47 seconds. The 2009 model has a MSRP of
$11,999USD and dry weight 220kg / 485 lbs.
2. Kawasaki

handling and a comfortable ride to keep itself at the head of the pack

accelerating from 0–60 mph in 2.5 seconds. The top speed is
electronically limited to 299 km/h making it one of the fastest bikes
for 2009. It is powered by 203 hp/ 151kW engine.

been used. The 2009 MV Agusta F4RR 312 1078 is more affordable with the
estimated price of $28,000USD. The peak horsepower is in black and
white: 190hp / 142kW. Top speed is a scary 299 km/h with acceleration
from 0 to 100 km/h in just under 3 seconds, but equally disconcerting is

estimated at 299 km/h for none ‘R’ version.

performance and equipment worthy of a really modern racing bike for a
very reasonable MSRP of $12,500USD. Power is marginally up at a claimed
182hp / 136kW. R1 is expected to reach 100km/h from standstill in about
