FIFTEEN 

Suzuki AEM Carbon Fiber Hayabusa

Value: 200000 USD

Suzuki AEM Carbon Fiber Hayabusa

Although this bike is no. 15th  on this list, this is my second most favourite bike. This bike was said to be the fastest on-road motorcycles in the world which was launched by Suzuki in 1999. 

It can easily reach a speed of 188 kilometres per hour with its 1300 cc engine. This bike has a very cool looking sporty body which is made of carbon fiber mainly that gives it a low weight. 

Although the bike is specialized in speed, the producer did not compromise with the other parts for example, handling, comfort, fuel economy, suspension, engine noise, wheel, braking system, etc. 

This satisfied the experts in the bike world by gaining the ‘fastest production motorcycle’ which is the phrase to push more of Hayabusa’s performance for the satisfaction of the rebels.

You can find this bike in three colors- black, white and grey- according to your choice, but if you ask me, I would go for the black. This is a perfect bike for any bike lover.

The frame has lots of acrylic painting with 37 coats of clear coat on top done by none other than Jack Armstrong who has 3 decades of experience in painting.

I must say, this bike is futuristic. This baby is predicted to bring revolution in racing bikes. This bike is designed by the eminent Formula One engineers from America and Britain. Engineers  Richard Tyrrell, Richard Glover and Andy le Fleming mainly targeted the weight and frontal area which are very significant in speed.

The rear swing-arm suspension is attached to the gearbox and the frontal twin A-arms suspension is with the engine. This bike can speed more that 370 kph. 

The sitting position is designed in a way that the biker will not be uncomfortable while riding for a long time and the handlebar is also built as an upward-projected steer axis so that a better control can be achieved. 

This two-wheeler has never disappointed the experts yet, with its aerodynamic design, it can avoid wind friction to the maximum. Trust me, you really want this bike in a bad way if you are a speed freak.
