SUZUKI HAYABUSA
The Suzuki Hayabusa (or GSX1300R) is a sport bike motorcycle
made by Suzuki since 1999. It immediately won acclaim as the world's fastest
production motorcycle, with a top speed of 188 to 194 miles per hour (303 to
312 km/h).
Hayabusa is Japanese
for "peregrine falcon", a bird that often serves as a metaphor for
speed due to its vertical hunting dive, or stoop, speed of 180 to 202 miles per
hour (290 to 325 km/h), the fastest of any bird. In particular, the choice of
name was made because the peregrine falcon preys on blackbirds, which reflected
the intent of the original Hayabusa to unseat the Honda CBR1100XX Super
Blackbird as the world's fastest production motorcycle. Eventually, the
Hayabusa managed to surpass the Super Blackbird by at least a full 10 miles per
hour (16 km/h).
In 2000, fears of a European regulatory backlash or import
ban led to an informal agreement between the Japanese and European
manufacturers to govern the top speed of their motorcycles at an arbitrary
limit.
The media-reported value for the speed agreement in miles
per hour was consistently 186 mph, while in kilometers per hour it varied from
299 to 303 km/h, which is typical given unit conversion rounding errors. This
figure may also be affected by a number of external factors, as can the power
and torque values.
The conditions under which this limitation was adopted led
to the 1999–2000 Hayabusa's title remaining, at least technically,
unassailable, since no subsequent model could go faster without being tampered
with. Thus, after the much anticipated Kawasaki Ninja ZX-12R of 2000 fell 4 mph
(6 km/h) short of claiming the title, the Hayabusa secured its place as the
fastest standard production bike of the 20th century. This gives the
unrestricted 1999–2000 models even more cachet with collectors.
Besides its speed, the Hayabusa has been lauded by many
reviewers for its all-around performance, in that it does not drastically
compromise other qualities like handling, comfort, reliability, noise, fuel
economy or price in pursuit of a single function. Jay Koblenz of Motorcycle Consumer News
commented, "If you think the ability of a motorcycle to approach 190 mph
or reach the quarter-mile in under 10 seconds is at best frivolous and at worst
offensive, this still remains a motorcycle worthy of just consideration. The
Hayabusa is Speed in all its glory. But Speed is not all the Hayabusa is."
The "World's Fastest Street Bike"
The record for "World's Fastest Street Bike" was
set April 11, 2010 at the East Coast Timing Association's Maxton Mile. The
272.34 mph record was set on a Suzuki Hayabusa.

YAMAHA R1
In 2000, Yamaha introduced a series of changes to improve the bike, and minor changes to the bodywork to allow for better long duration ride handling. Yamaha's main design goal was to sharpen the pre-existing bike and not to redesign it. Even so they instituted over 150 changes in hopes of making an already light, sleek motorcycle even lighter and sleeker. For example, even with the addition of the new air induction system, which weighed four pounds, the overall weight of the bike was down five pounds to 414 pounds (188 kg) dry.
At 127.8 brake horsepower (95.3 kW) at the rear wheel, top-end output remained the same, but changes to the engine management system were intended to result in a smoother, broader distribution of power. The bodywork was still unmistakably R1, although a few changes were made resulting in a 3% reduction in the drag coefficient. The headlight housing's profile was sharpened, the side panels were made more aerodynamic and slippery, and the windscreen was reshaped for better rider protection. These redesigns changed the bodywork to a large enough degree that previous years' bodywork will not fit the 2000 model.
The seating area was also updated. The fuel tank was reshaped, with a more relaxed rear angle and deeper leg recesses to provide for a better rider feel. The seat extended further towards the front of the tank and the new, steeper, seating position put additional weight on the front end. All of this was aimed at improving weight bias and offering sharper cornering and more stability.
Mechanically, the carburetors were re-jetted in an effort to improve throttle response, especially in the low end, all the way up to the bike's 11,750 rpm redline. The redesigned camshafts were lightened and used internal oil ways to lubricate journals that, when combined with reduced tappet clearance, provided less friction and created less engine noise. The gearbox received a taller first gear, a hollow chrome-moly shift-shaft with an additional bearing and a completely redesigned shift linkage and foot pedal. These changes were aimed at eliminating problems with the transmission in earlier models, and to help to seamlessly transfer the R1's power to the tarmac.

YAMAHA R6
History
The Yamaha YZF-R6 was introduced in 1999 as the super sport version of Yamaha's Yamaha YZF-R1 super bike, and as a companion to the more street-oriented Yamaha YZF600R sport bike which continued to be sold alongside the R6. The motorcycle featured Yamaha's completely new engine design capable of producing over 108 hp (81 kW) while stationary. The R6 was the world's first 600cc production four-stroke motorcycle producing over 100 hp (75 kW) in stock form.
The YZF-R6 has been revised several times since its introduction. Starting with the 2003 model, the R6 became fuel-injected. The 2006 model year was a significant upgrade with a new engine management system featuring the YCC-T fly-by-wire throttle and a multi-plate slipper clutch. The 2008 model incorporated the YCC-I variable-length intake system to optimize power at high engine rpm and an improved Deltabox frame design.
In 2006, Yamaha advertised that the R6 had a redline of 17,500 rpm. This is 2,000 rpm higher than the previous R6 model and was the highest tachometer redline of any 2006 production four-stroke motorcycle engine.[citation needed] It was widely reported[by whom?] that the 2006 YZF-R6's motor did not actually have this engine rpm redline level and was closer to around 16,200 rpm, but because of a deliberate tachometer error of about 8%, it read 17,500 rpm on the tachometer. In February 2006, Yamaha admitted the bike's true engine redline was more than 1,000 rpm lower than what was indicated on the tachometer and had been advertised, and offered to buy back any R6 if the customer was unhappy.

DUCATI 848 EVO
The Ducati 848 is a sport bike, with a 849 cc
(51.8 cu in) V-twin engine, manufactured by Ducati. It was announced on November 6, 2007 for the 2008
model year and replaces the 749, although the 848 model name was
already listed on the compatible parts table for the 1098fuel tank, giving away the secret a
few months early. The 848 makes a tested 115.6 hp (86 kW) at 10,000 rpm and
62 lb·ft (84.1 N·m) at 8,250 rpm. With a manufacturer claimed dry weight of
168 kg (370 lb), the 848 undercuts its larger displacement sibling,
the 1198, by 5 kg (11 lb).
In August 2010, Ducati announced the 848 Evo,
as the evolution of the model. The bike featured small revisions such as a
black swingarm, Mono-block Brembo brake
calipers, steering damper mount as well as some very minor engine revisions.

DUCATI 1199 PANIGALE
The Ducati 1199 Panigale is a sport bike made by Ducati. It is named after the small manufacturing town of Borgo Panigale.
The bike has a dry weight of 164kg/361.5lbs (188kg/415lbs kerb weight) and makes a maximum 195 hp at 10,750 rpm.[2] The new Superquadro (oversquare) engine has a new valve timing system made of gears and chains which replaces the cam belt system on previous Ducati engines. The motorcycle also uses the engine as a stressed member which allows the overall frame of the machine to be much smaller and therefore lighter than a conventional frame.
The 1199 is also one of the first production sports motorcycles that features electronically adjustable suspension. Rebound and compression damping is adjusted electronically while pre-load is still adjusted manually.[3] The 1199 also features an underfloor exhaust, where the exhaust system and mufflers are underneath the engine, as compared to under the seat on previous models, such as the 1198 and 1098.
