Weighing lb kg , the PGM V8 packs a 2-liter, degree V8 donk that spins to nearly 13, rpm and delivers hp and Nm lb-ft of torque. But for something with that much motor, it's a pretty tidy looking machine. More about the PGM V8. Marine Turbine Technologies out of Louisiana has been making ludicrous turbine superbikes for 20 years now, and the RR is the silliest of them all. It's not a jet bike; all that power goes through the rear tire through a two-speed transmission.
Powered by the same Allison C20B turboshaft engine that keeps various Bell and Sikorsky helicopters in the air, you can hear this beast of a thing coming from blocks away.
Rumor has it the exhaust gases are so hot they can melt the plastic bumpers on cars that sit too close at the lights. And they will sit close, because nobody's ever seen or heard anything else quite like it. It's a huge, long, heavy beast that warrants extreme care, because absolutely everyone will be watching if you stuff up a u-turn. Boss Hoss has been making colossal American cruisers with absolutely gargantuan motors for some 30 years now, and if you think you can handle one of these ocean liners, they'll happily sell you a bike with a cubic inch, or 7.
For a car hp is a lot of power, and it's utter shenanigans on a motorcycle. I had the pleasure of following one around a racetrack for a lap or two at one point; the gentleman on board would shower sparks as he dragged the bike through every corner, and then light it up and remain sideways right up until the next braking point. They're not fast, they're not clever, but the Boss Hoss cannot be ignored for sheer size and power.

The Lightning LS mph through the timing lights at Bonneville makes it the world's fastest production motorcycle. The hub-steered Vyrus Alyen. The prototype Ducati Streetfighter V4. Leathery pads denote body contact points on the Curtiss Hades. The Ducati Superleggera V4 has comically oversized aerodynamic wings. Kawasaki H2: reflective paint job makes it stand out in any company.
The Bimonta Tesi H2's swingarm is suspended via a long linkage back to a rear-mounted shock. PGM V8 motorcycle. The bullet-shaped battery pack on the Hades protrudes phallically into the sacrilegiously empty space where the motor would sit on a combustion bike Curtiss Motorcycles.
The ultra-exclusive Aprilia RSV4 X has a stratospheric power-to-weight ratio and a weird "no neutral" gearbox Aprilia. A frankly outrageous motorcycle Ducati. The Tesi H2 looks better the closer you get Bimota. The monstrous Boss Hoss Super Sport makes up to horsepower, depending on which humungous V8 you'd like to have fitted.

What is the fastest motorcycle in the world? By Phil West. Dislikes: own rust bucket LC and T-Bird daily driver. Yes, really. The fastest, lightest and most powerful production RSV ever built
