Fastest Superbikes (2026)

Superbikes are the faired repli-racers. A manufacturer specification is labeled claimed. One Cycle World or MCN figure is labeled verified, and the conditions say whether it was a GPS run or a specification table. The Hayabusa, the ZX-14R and the street Ninja H2 stay on the main motorcycle ranking as sport bikes.
