The Fastest Super Bikes Of All Time

1997 Kawasaki ZX-9R

The nineties were a golden age for heavily flaired sports bikes. They were still a somewhat new concept, at least for the general public, but were building up a reputation for insane speeds and acceleration. The 1997 Kawasaki ZX-9R was one of the fastest bikes of the era, with a top speed of 167 miles per hour. Being lightweight, the 1997 Kawasaki ZX-9R doesn’t need as much horsepower as bigger, heavier bikes, while offering better speed and easier handling, especially at high speeds. While faster bikes have come along, the 1997 Kawasaki ZX-9R earned its place in motorcycle history.
