In today's time, almost everyone has heard the name Hayabusa. The Suzuki Hayabusa is a legend in the motorcycle community. The Motorbike is primarily distinguished by its elongated frame and its dual exhaust setup. The Hayabusa first came into being when Honda came out with their quickest bike ever, the CBR1100XX Super Blackbird.

 In order to be up to speed with its competition, Suzuki produced the Hayabusa which translates to the word Peregrine Falcon, the fastest animal on the planet that hunts blackbirds as prey. The Hayabusa came equipped with a 1298cc inline-four engine that initially produced 175 bhp and had worn the crown for the fastest production bike for over a decade.

1. 2003 Dodge Tomahawk: 676 km/h

• Top Speed: 420 mph (676 km/h)
• Max Torque: 712 Nm

• Engine: 8.3 L (506.5 cu in) 20-valve 90° V-10 engine
• Ex-Showroom Price: ₹4.1 Crore
  

Dodge was never really known to build motorbikes but is mainly known for its muscle cars such as the Challenger and the Viper, however, they are the ones who built the fastest bike in the world Debuted back in 2003 this was first nothing more than a concept and we all thought, there is no way we were to see this in production, we were wrong. This behemoth of a machine comes with four tyres two on each side for all the four wheels that are separated by a few inches while being on an independent suspension per wheel, a two-speed transmission, and a Viper motor. The motor is an 8.3 Litre 20 valve V10 SRT 10. That's right this motorcycle has a V10 with an output of 507 bhp at 5600 rpm. The brakes consist of 20-inch perimeter mounted drilled rotors, one on each wheel. The front brakes consist of four-piston callipers per wheel made of aluminium and the rear uses a single four-piston aluminium calliper. The clutch is a double-disc, dry plate with a number of organic friction materials used and is actuated by a hand lever. Although it may seem as if this motorbike can't ride like one, it comes equipped with a swingarm at each end and a hub-centred steering column, meaning it does indeed lean and counter-steer like a motorcycle even with the 680 Kgs in terms of weight. The steering is a dual-hub centre type, and the linkage uses a rocker and a push/pull rod that consist of bearings. The steering yoke is made of billet aluminium where the grips are aluminium, and the levers are billet. Only nine of these machines were ever produced. Dodge says these are not just motorcycles but rolling sculptures, we agree.
